I've got a submission for the AE writing contest. Earth For Humans, Arc #4827. It's all about loyalty to Earth in the face of an encroaching alien threat, and not allowing our way of life to be destroyed by external agencies. Very patriotic.

I will definitely be there for this, though whether I should bring my PPD cop "Legwork" or my Golden Era main Rose Maiden is another question.
wouldn't miss it.

Why not bring both? The Cop sounds like a good choice for the civil servant CC; so long as you have a bio to go with the character. |

D'oh. Totally forgot this, between finding out this morning that my brother was doing his birthday dinner today, and then Michigan beating Notre Dame (M GO BLUE!) ... *facepalm*
My thanks to all those in the Virtue community that came out and helped make the event tonight a success. We gave out about six billion influence; a couple pieces of artwork; and had a pretty good time while at the same time giving remembrance to our brave patriots. The march at the beginning; for those of you who participated; was wonderful. Thank you all.
