Sorry, Densie, but I just don't see people jumping on the bandwagon over
this one. The momentum in this case is toward jumping in the way of the
bandwagon and not on it.
To be bluntly honest, I wish I would see the same level of enthusiasm
FOR any of our other proposed activities as I have seen against this
one.

You had to leave Sunday morning, so you missed out on the aftermath of
some incidents that I and a few of the others had to deal with. There
were a number of cases, some arguably trivial I will admit, but some of
them quite valid, where some of our people sought attention in obvious
disregard of the others.
There is now some backlash, and some over-reaction. We have some people
who dress and act perfectly fine who are now thinking they need to tone
down their style, for whatever reason.
We have others who apparently think that anything at all that leans one
iota toward the kinky side, even if done under appropriate circumstances
such as a private residence or theater where RHPS is shown, should not
be allowed at DLV.
I daresay that if you had quietly gathered a small group of our people,
dressed in nun's attire, invaded a casino, and mindf*cked the normals,
everybody (even those who profess to be offended) would have gotten a
kick out of it and it would have been a major hit on the canonical list
of DLV lore.

What I might suggest is that you soft-pedal this for now. Just show up
with it and invite whoever on the spot. That would make a hell of an
entrance to RHPS, not to mention a dynamite lead-off vehicle for the
limo tour. :)
