It's quiet...
Posting from D'ni - Rezeero...
...too quiet.
...no, seriously. Where is everyone? This has to be the quietest the cavern has been since D'mala. I'm not complaining personally... I wouldn't be watching the Great Zero spinning if I were looking for a huge crowd. But I'm feeling worried about how these quiet days might look to the DRC's funders.
Some would argue that people don't feel like hanging around because we haven't been granted access to any new ages in a couple of years. Even I get claustrophobic in the places we can visit sometimes... but then I try and sit down and put things in perspective. Even if it's only small portions of them we can wander around, the fact remains that we're still able to visit entire new WORLDS. And yet we still find ways to complain that we want more. Yes, I'm guilty of this too... after all, not a day goes by that I don't wake up and immediately check for any news regarding the work on Kahlo and Eder Delin.
In more positive news however... the DRC and the five Liaisons have worked together to hammer out times and locations for the first series of Town Hall question and answer sessions. Eleri was kind enough to post all of the times, locations, and details over at the DRC forums, which I will be quoting here...

I'll be doing my best to attend as many of these as I can... any news will be posted here straight away. Incidentally, the Spoken Word event I host weekly in the UruObsession(1) neighborhood will be occuring right after the second set of sessions wraps up, so with any luck that'll help draw some people to drop by and listen to our speakers this week.
Also... "Got Milk?"
*grins and goes to wander the hoods*
