Hey Ria -- I'm working this weekend and can't come up from NY, but best of luck to you!

07:37 / 25.02.02

Hey Ria

That sounded pretty impressive, and I would love to have been there but unfortunately I was occupied in the UK at the time.

How did it all go??

19:16 / 25.02.02

thank you for asking, Angel.

I will duck the question of how the rite went. I don't feel like talking about it now. perhaps performing something as personal as magic before a crowd disrupted my self-image. I had never done that before. I will describe it in my livejournal (see link on my profile) tomorrow.

as a whole everyone I know rated it an unqualified success. many many people in too small a space. a lot of people showed up especially if you consider most advertising happened by word of mouth.

07:39 / 26.02.02

Thanks for the answer Ria. Well done on the success part!

Performance of any sort in public can be quite confronting, so I sympathise on the self-image stuff. It can be quite a good catalyst though for exploring personal expectation versus public perception, and for some reason those two things can seem to be miles away from each other.

I will check out your journal and I look forward to reading about the experience.

Respect and Love

Poo. I should check this place more often - I was in Cambridge picking up my worthless MA that day.

Brilliant piece of transatlantic misunderstanding that was.

I now understand that the title of this thread means 'Cambridge Massachussetts'...

We're The Great Old Ones Now

06:59 / 27.02.02

I'm right there with you Lyra. I was trying to establish the connection with a Cambridge MA and thinking 'where the hell is this place and do they know there's a digit missing from the phone number'.

Colour me bewildered.

anyway, whacky bunch, you may read an account on my livejournal. (not bothering to crosspost to the Magick.)
