Fun facts

According to Wikipedia, this Thursday (the 5th) is the precise astronomical date of Beltane.

Anyone up for a organized coherent, if not very well-informed, celebration?

Well, I was going to say that I can't participate in worshiping at Pagan holidays. However, I can worship at Jewish holidays and since there's pretty much always one of those, I think we can work something out.

Then I went to the hebrew calendar. THere is a holiday that starts Thursday night. It's Yom HaShoah--Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Oops. Maybe I can worship at Pagan holidays. It's less offensive.

I vote we celebrate by going to see The Price is Right! together.

So, for those of us who are even less well-informed, what's Beltane?

The druidic holiday to the thing that holds your pants up?

If nothing else it's an excuse to light fires and have a lot of sex. While we're at it, there might as well be some alcohol in there just for fun.

Beltane? Fire? I'm in!

By Thursday I should be done with everything except Clinic, and I should be in good shape regarding Clinic as well. I'm all for celebrating.

I was planning to work on my GR final that night. I think Sahakian would approve of my getting smashed during it.

Heh. I'm celebrating by recording much a cappella. Fun and merriment, if not quite the same sort. But fire and alcohol are both good pasttimes, so I could probably work something out afterwards.
