This is just a bit of sweet. Do I love it because it's sam_storyteller and he writes well or do I love it because it's about the tailor thing again?

upcoming time travel opportunities - NYC

New York City and my myriad fiaxtions are all syncing up with an absurd neatness these days. While I think part of it is just suddenly being hooked in to know about these sorts of things, I think a lot of it is the moment we find ourselves in culturally. The millenium changed and the world didn't - at least we could be a bit more refined.

Here is at least some of the upcoming stuff you can find me and mine at, and that I encourage the other locals to attend.

The Salon
June 27th at the Players Club
(Torchwood peeps, we're going, right? RIGHT?)

Vintage Regency Assembly brought to you by Susan de Guardiola and the Elegant Arts Society.
June 28th at the 92nd Street Y
No costume or experience required.
$20 (and I have an extra ticke if anyone is interested).
I've been involved with EAS for years. We have regular classes in the city and while this is not strictly-speaking an EAS event, this is the first ball in NYC we've been affiliated with. Most of the group will talk to you about the world of Jane Austen. But I'm in it because of Horatio Hornblower.

Regency and Ragtime dance classes
June 29th from the Elegant Arts Society.

(Yes the three things above are also during Pride Weekend. You can actually fit most of them and most of Pride in, if you're batshit crazy. I am!)

Dances of Vice
July 5
The Montauk Club (that's in Brooklyn, not Long Island, folks)
1920s/1930s Shanghai Vice theme

Dances of Vice
August 22 - 24
various venues
3 day festival with a Baroque emphasis but one night is literally called "The Time Traveller's Ball"


Also, not having anything to wear is never an excuse. New York is the greatest city to kuldge together random quasi-historical stuff in. Often for very little $.

- Got to talk to Patty this morning. She didn't get any of my letters this week and should have -- clearly things are just going to be like this for this dig. But she is well and talking to her was big happiness.

- I owe you guys a fencing post.

- Rain. Laundry. Oh well.

- Grrrr, my latest Doctor Who disc was unplayable. More annoying? I've seen two of the three episodes on it, but can't go on to the next disc (which I have in) until I see that one missing episode.

- http://www.suspenderstore.com is proof that everything is on the Internet. And I'm so glad.

- Speaking of. I totally did buy that WWII airmail paper on Ebay. Grey for the light blue shirt, yeah? Resisting white for another shit that is in my head but I haven't found yet. Will not digress into "all shirts suck" yet again.

- Today is the Evangelical Children's Parade. I love my neighborhood.

Quick!

Do we know the "actual" Jack Harkness's birthday?

If so, what the hell is it?

Torchwood fic: Commemoration Days (Jack/Ianto, Jack/various)

Title: Commemoration Days
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, Jack/Suzie, Jack/various, team friendship
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through Fragments.
Summary: Jack commemorates everything while Ianto keeps lists. Mainly out of self-defense.
Notes: This is none of the fics I've recently claimed to be working on but some other animal. The unnamed wife and kids refers to Annie from A Holiday of Bright Mornings. The scene here owes some debt to airspaniel for pointing me towards the traditional song Foreign Lander as done by Red Molly which she and redstapler described to me as "Jack/Annie OTP!" (and they were right). You might also recognize some other people from that piece in this. Thanks to hllangel for the team's birthdays from Torchwood Magazine. threewalls has subsequently made me aware that Ianto's birthday differs between Fragments and the TWM info; I'm working off of the TWM info at this point - so please attribute that to the utter lack of data integrity within the TW universe or canon as you see fit.
