[AVPPride] Update on AV Pagan Pride Day 2005

[Ariadne/PP]

Actually at our Second Pagan Pride Day, we did have someone from the
AniMagic Con come and have a table... I know lots of pagans who also like
Anime. :)

Still working on the Bands bit- I think it's best for a potential band to
get us a demo CD or point us at a site with music on it so we can decide as
a committee.

Our committee meeting will be Saturday June 18th at noon I guess if that
works for everyone, my house. If you want to come, bring a towel and suit
and you can sit in the hot tub after if you like. Bring something for the
BBQ if you want too.  I'll have hot dogs probably available...

Drop me a line at paganpride at avpagans.org or at lisa at fpcav.org and I can get
you directions if you need them.
