Hello, weirdos!

What is this? Can it be? A FOURTH year of Frigid Bitch has begun? Why yes, it's true. Wonderfully, horribly, bafflingly true. Last week, the FB admins had our bimonthly meeting of the Ways and Means Committee, and made a number of adjustments to the FB curriculum. You'll be glad to hear that I won't bore you with the details, other than to reveal that you are skeptically expected:

- Twin Peaks
- 9pm
- Saturday, September 6

The rules are different this year -- we've moved back to the Castro, and now we're doing Saturdays; and we've switched to a bimonthly format (one month we'll have a casual drinking-meetup for regular members, the other month a Planning/Dev panel for the FB proconsuls).

But! More importantly! We have, for the first time, removed the requirements that you complete a yearly project. Really! It's just a mildly ambitious social event now -- at least, for most of us. Members of the Board of Directors are still required to work on a life-improving project; the rest of the membership is expected only to sit back and drink and complain.

Oh yes, that. One more change this year is that we now have a leadership body. In fact, you may be a member. Your status as FB Cadet or FB Core will fluctuate unpredictably, so the only way to keep accurate track of your rights and obligations is to show up on Saturday and make inquiries.

Toodles,

Matt

The rules have all changed! Up is down! Black is white! Hummus is palatable! Frigid Bitch Core is on Wednesday at 8pm at Twin Peaks!

Now, nobody panic. It's just this once. We're trying it out to see what happens. If you like FBCore on Wednesdays -- the day of the week that is hardest to spell -- then just show up and have a drink with us. And if you liked it better on Saturday, well, you can just suck it up. You're still invited, of course, as long as you promise to complain as belligerently as possible. Guests are permitted provided that you vouch for the content of their character.

I'm also moving it up an hour, because for heaven's sake it's a week night and we must go to sleep at a decent hour. We are not Caligula.

FB Core is, of course, the administrative wing of the FB empire; the hardest-working and hardest-achieving leadership. I depend upon you all to set an enviable example by accomplishing something terribly impressive by next week, even if it's just an excuse for why you have not accomplished more. You will be graded.

Grotesquely yours,

Sheila
