Richmond/Poe trip took place on Sunday, April 28th. Malanna arranged the trip. Thank you Malanna. Any other suggestions for a day trip feel free to contact her by email
Ask them to put Trip Idea on the subject line of the email. Maybe there can be other day trips?
UPDATE ON POE TRIP
After-action report for the Poe Museum trip to Richmond: The weather was delightful, the parking tolerable, there were 10 participants, and the museum guide was friendly, enthusiastic, patient and informative. A great time was had by all, and we had a perceptive peek into the life of a great American author - father of science fiction, detective stories, the horror genre and a ravening raven or two... Thanks, Malanna, for arranging and motivating the event !!! Photos will be posted on our site by webmaster Barbara in the next few days.

The Cure, alchemy, pages, lead paint, and where death lives.
Straight from the pure, uncut supply in the dope locker of Prose., in lucky number 21 on Prose. Radio, The Cure's Robert Smith ignites some fascination, and strings it out until it becomes a list of powerhouses from the site, each one with their own style, each one strong of eye and brilliant of mind. From two legends, to three or so new bloods, and one long story of ghosts in war, wrapped with dreams of old.
Here's the link to the good stuff...
