And Now for an Encore: The Monday Night Non-Meeting

Okay, nature played a role in putting the cabash on Nostalgiafest. At least today there were a few signs pointing to next week for another try. But the folks who put together the city website's calendar should have remembered that Monday was Columbus Day, especially when they would likely be getting a day off.

At the last HPLA Meeting, where Mr. Reekes proposed an intelligent solution to Marshall Street's congestion and speeding problems, some of us eagerly jotted down October 9 as the date for the relevant Traffic and Transportation Safety Commission meeting.

So tonight, a few of us from Marshall and Adams Streets made our way down to city hall to attend the meeting and lend our support to Mr. Reekes' plan. Unfortunately, the place was locked up tighter than Charlotte the Crack Whore's....well, neurotransmitters. Did we miss something? Did we suddenly find ourselves in a surreal world of non-festivals and non-meetings?

At home again, we checked our datebooks and the city's online calendar. There it was (and still is, in all likelihood), in black and white, under Monday, Octover 09, 2006:
2006 Traffic & Transportation Safety Commission Meeting
City Hall Council Chambers
103 W. Tabb Street
7:30 PM

Curiouser and Curiouser. I suggest that if you want to know what non-event will happen tommorrow, simply Go Ask Alice.

PS: Any of you other board members who care to pipe in from time to time are more than welcome to, you know.
