If you are interested in joining in on the Gerbil Nation University’s inaugural seminar on Luitprand – the royal Lombard from Gentle Kate’s dissertation – then please look to the Pages on the right. There you will find background information. (direct links here and here.)
First discussion is scheduled for tomorrow evening (Thursday, March 1). Come with questions or comments, or just sit back and enjoy the discussion.
We now return you to the regular gerbilly goodness, already in progress.
Hello Hello, I don’t know why you say goodbye when I say Hello…

We have a few enclaves of concentrated Gerbilistas in the U.S., with others scattered hither and yon.
The Georgia Gerbs have made contact with each other, and we’ve had at least one Keystone Koffeeklatch in Los Angeles.
BME has raised the idea of a “gerbilee” – meeting in a semi-central location, or one easy to fly to, for a large-scale Gerbil Nation gathering. Las Vegas and San Antonio have been given as two suggestions.
Please use the “Open Thread” posts below (and eventually, above) for general mayhem, and use this thread for commenting on the idea. Would you go? Any preferences (or “better dead than…”) re a location? Green M&Ms and tan boa constrictors in your penthouse suite?
Speak now…or join me in Baker, CA off I-15 under the World’s Biggest Thermometer this July 24th for Tupac Kippur, the Hop-hop day of atonement.
