[small snip, but thank you and everyone who's said kind things.]

I always wondered how the ball started, how the
calling got started, Melissa is the only one I ever saw do it and I
wondered
how that came to be, if there had been someone before, why/how did it
change... just like I wondered when reading the glossary for the first
time
who could be that creative and wonderful to catalog all of that... the
point
is, I think the group is filled with love and I think that some of us
are
sensitive to keeping traditions alive, and others of us want to
understand
the traditions keep them and add to the life here at the community, soft
fur
her cats

"Add to the life"....YESSSSSSS! I would *love* to see new stuff added
to the Ball.

The important thing to remember is that this is a *creation*. People
thought about things to do and then threw it out there to see what
would work, what would stick. For the first two Balls, the Calling
was just a list. I think Gretchen Marie posted them, but GM was also
doing so much else for the Ball, (and has ever since...now *she*, and
her successor Little Kitty deserve an enormous amount of credit and
applause) and nothing was said about the Calling and who was going to
do it for the third Ball.

So, Mietze volunteered, and added a speech. The idea was to make the
Calling also a brief Tribute to all of the Honorees on the list, in
case some didn't have individual Tributes in the days that followed.

Another idea, which came along later (but not much later) was Laura
Ann's guestbook, now done by the current spokeskitty from Laura's
House. It's one of those ideas that stuck, people have fun with it,
and, after Laura died it's become a small tribute in itself to her.
As far as I'm concerned, it belongs to that House to do until they
choose to hand it off, or the Ball is discontinued, because they
created it in the first place.

I thought it was a lovely touch, having Piglet join Ralph & Kissa at
the table this year.

Little Kitty's mural/frieze was a nice touch too.

When she agreed to do the frieze for the wedwink, I had no idea it
would be so wonderful! The description went far beyond my
expectations. Gosh, all the cats and hoomins who purrticipated in the
wedwink were wonderful.

Yes, all the words came from our katz. Most of them came from RPC, where
evil hoomins tormented us. Imagine Me being accused of baby talk?!?! Hah!
hoomins are stoopid, as all kats know. Our task is to help these poor
hairless beings emerge from their dark caves into Bast's light.

So, TIger, I have been absent many years. Tell me what has happened here.
What events have I missed? Who are the new katz?

Margaret, I agree with you re the Southern custom of Homecoming. That is
exactly what the Jellicle Ball is. The RPCC is indeed and always has been
a
magical place. Beautifully said.
