Many thanks to Mistress Kay for her informative reporting, as usual.
I just wanted to bring up a point which I'm not sure has been realized --
did anyone else note that Terpsichore was up against Golden Seamstress on
April 9? I was contacted early regarding judging so the date may not yet
be common knowledge, but I think it might be an issue. And probably
unavoidable at this point.
