Note  59  Mathias      (03/15/09 02:15)  The Event(tm)

And... here we go!  The Event is open, and the party has begun!  The
Celebration will continue for twenty-four hours, until midnight tonight,
March 15, 2009.  
 
So hear the call!  Leave that innroom with its stale brew behind! 
Forsake that bar, neglect that armoury, and leave that orc to die another
day.  Today is a day to gather round for frolicking and festivities such
as will never be seen again this year! 
 
At every signpost across Arda, you will find a strange-looking wagon
already packed with revellers who are ready to join you on your march
to the Event.  Once you arrive, you will be unable to use your blade
in an unseemly display of martial prowess - after all, the Event is
about fun, not bloody spray.
 
Come join the party that's already underway!
 
P.S.  The world will end at midnight tonight, when the party stops.  (In
other words, yes, we will reboot the mud when the Event is over.)
