Greetings, all --
Here are a few notes and upcoming events, as well as notes on event etiquette.

----


EVENT ETIQUETTE
===============
I know it is impossible to completely phase out background noises from events, but let's do our part to be respectful of presenters and to audiences.


1. KEEP NOISES (AND SMELLS) TO A MINIMUM DURING PRESENTATIONS:
- Wipe away perfumes and colognes

- Applying salves, smoking, and so on

- Don't bring plushes that require care and make noises
when they're being "neglected"


2. DURING EVENTS, PRESENTERS AND PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE SAFE:
I am not responsible for happenings OUTSIDE of events but while an event is happening, its location should be considered a no-violence space (unless is some sort of arena event). This includes within the Asterian Restoration AND outside event venues while the event is occurring. Please also refrain from implicit threats of violence during events, such as equipping weapons, readying spells, and so on.

Keep in mind:
- Your right to speak is protected on premises during events.

- Others also have the right to speak and challenge.

- The Restoration is not responsible for consequences to one's
actions, reactions to words said, and so on.

- The Director of Planning (me, Mhuswys):
- Is not responsible for establishing the quality or veracity
of events ahead of time. Presenters are responsible for
their own research.
- Takes a stance that debate and discussion is worthwhile -
it is a chance to share and learn.
- Welcomes comment and critique directed to themself (Mhuswys)
should you want to share your thoughts.

JOURNALING, VALNUARY 1018 AF
============================

- Attend one of the Late Scarlatan/Ero events and write down your reflections.
A. Lady Valnurana's Order: Festival of Masks

B. Lord Twilight's Order: A Journey to Nocturne's Reach

or

- Do you currently follow one of these Divine? What do Their
teachings mean to you? What would you like to share with others
about Them?

or

- Visit a library and seek out a book on a Divine - departed or
still around. Write your reflections - what was interesting
about Their history? What did you learn about Their teachings?

Thanks, all.
