[Palindrome] Gathering at Hathor's in Davis for those who want to meet pre-wrap-up

Hi all,

Squonk's over at my place, and we'd both love to hang out with all of you - we'll be receiving from 1 pm, until about 4:15 or so at which point we'll head over to the wrap up.

I'm at 43 Kingston Street, Somerville (see attached directions) and can be reached at 617-669-8677.  I'm two blocks from the Davis Sq T & there's plenty of street parking (assuming the snow doesn't increase).  Much of it is resident, but HEY, it's Sunday


Feel free to bring games and/or puzzles, but don't be offended if nobody wants to solve anything else. I have a DVD of the video flats that Sue++& SirPlus did for con last year & will probably show them at some point (Squonk hasn't seen them).  Feel free to invite friends from other teams (except those horrid Midnight Bombers -boo hiss) if you like.

Jenny (Hathor)
