Saturday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
It's supposed to be sunny and 60's, and I am outdoors, hawking OctopodiCon at the comic book store.
This is the first tilted top hat centerpiece I ever made:
and this one benefited from what I learned greatly:
The red and green one is the one we're raffling off. You do have to be present to put in the raffle ticket, but you don't have to be present to win.
Itzl will be there, in his own tiny top hat:
and Baron O (the plush octopus) will have his own monocle and top hat by the time you read this. We are taking pictures with Baron O, and we'll email the photos to people.

So we'll have a busy table, I hope. You'll hear all about it tomorrow.
