Want a Holiday card? Sign up here!

So, I've got a selection of pretty non-denominational holiday cards that I can send out -- mostly they are birds on snow, no Santa hats or Christmas trees in sight -- so if you're interested, leave your address and the name you want to be addressed as here. All comments will be screened, and I should be sending the cards out this Friday.

I can even send internationally (I'm in the USA) though I have no guarantee that they will reach you before New Year's given how mailing across national boundaries can go.

The Hobbit -- midnight showing on Thursday

I'm looking to getting a group to see The Hobbit at the midnight showing at the Majestic in Silver Spring this Thursday with meeting for dinner beforehand.

Anyone interested? There's lots of places to meet and eat in downtown Silver Spring, and given how well The Avengers premerie worked this summer, I doubt there will be any problems with tickets.
