copious amounts of linkage

1) I've agreed with what they're trying to prove here since I first heard it. So maybe this'll shut up some of the people who think it's a choice?
2) We've got a Vimes! We've got a Vimes! And there was much rejoicing. *yaaay*
3) It seems I owe Agnes Nutter some thanks, as I was wondering a few days ago whether these two were going to turn up. And I totally called one of the user names as well. (Thanks to katmaxwell for pointing them out.)
Oh. and corialis? You get some major bonus points out of those CDs you made. 'Cause Harry Nilsson! It's so HARD to find people who've even heard of him.

And now, for some actual news:

First rehearsal went very very well. And there was much rejoicing. We're moving a practice day from Monday to Sunday, since Mondays seem to be real problem days for lots of people.
And I seem to be joining the ranks of people with random characters living in their heads. I mean other than the famed psychotic muse; this one hasn't introduced herself yet (I think I caught her at a rather antisocial moment, considering her shirt says GO AWAY), and anyway I needed an excuse to experiment with some stuff before I mucked with the final version. All I can tell y'all about her at the moment is she's a fair hand with sewing, seeing as most people don't just sell arm warmers (not that she's found, anyway).
Will post final version as soon as she's provided her name.
