Gravitas

We are tossed about yet again. Another change rocks our little ship, comrades. We will not have the bash at the Zartman tenement but at the funny farm where they keep those odd people, the Whites.

One feels so wrenched around by all this that one is indisposed to find a suitable quotation with which to close these announcements. Happily, nothing else seems to have been changed, but knowing the times in which we live, one can scarcely dare to hope all will now remain the same.

Note that the Bash of October will be at the Zartmans’ tenement.

We have completed comrade Weaver’s glorious Visions of Order, the last chapter of which is a triumph. Next we will read comrade Pieper’s Leisure, the Basis of Culture. We will read the first 3 chapters for the October Bash.

It has been a glorious Bashing season, comrades! Not only have we had Dr. Delnay in attendance, we also had the pleasure of the presence of the notorious Mike Riley at our September Bash and in October we look forward to the attendance of Mr & Mrs Lilrabbi, that illustrious couple from Iowa. All of which rather has the people of Gravitas holding their breath with regard to the glorious Bash of December.

And now some words from comrade Weaver to close this announcement:

“It is part of the barbarian’s self-protection to reject cultivation.”
