Saturday the 16th of February, 2008

In Game Invitation

The Invitation is placed in all areas of Melbourne covered by the Rules of Hospitality. It looks like it was produced on an old typewritter, and photocopied onto recycled paper.

Greetings once again, boys and girls (and those who can't remember which category they fall into),

It is once again that lovely time of year, when the rampant commercialism of the human species overwhelms us with all the fake affection that it can muster, all in the pursuit of the holy dollar. But, who are we to argue? We get so much Glamour out of the occasion that just about everyone is bloated with that oh so precious substance.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're obviously not that bright, and probably a member of the Summer Court. I do of course speak of that bastion of love, St Valentine's Day, and it's lesser-known counterpoint, the day of hate and spite, St Harlequin's Day. It is these two days, one after the other, that give the Courts so much power.

And so it is once again time to invite you all to my annual Love/Hate celebration. This Saturday, at the usual place, at the usual time, the usual rules. If you don't know where and when, ask someone who was here last year. They know, even if they may not want to admit it...

If you support Love and Romance and Affection, wear red. If you support Hate and Spite and Bitterness, wear green. If you haven't got a clue, wear both, but don't wear neither, 'cause that means you want me to come after you, and you don't really want that, do you?

I'll be there, watching you all, but don't expect to see me.

Yours in Love and Hate

Harlequin Jack

PS - A quick message to my dear friend The Baron. The song in question goes "Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree".

While what you tied it around is probably about the same size as the old oak tree, you still got the colour wrong, plus you scared the kids.

Friday the 18th of January, 2008

In Game Invitation

The Invitation is placed in all areas of Melbourne covered by the Rules of Hospitality. It is on fine parchment, and hand-written in a neat and steady hand.

To the Lost of Melbourne (and beyond),

I must apologies for the lateness of this, but much has been taking my attention as of late. However, things must go on.

As a result it is with great pleasure that I inform you that this season's Summer Party will be held this Friday night at our usual location at the Carlton Gardens, from 7:00 pm. The theme for this year is friendship and I have an important announcement to be made at the party.

Again, I apologise for the late notice and hope to see you there.
