I don't think so either. Though if no one's seen the Board in a while, that might be a further reason to check downstairs.

But doesn't the Board live upstairs? Or have I fallen victim to the lack of temporal stability here?

Considering last I saw a Board member we still had that Escher staircase thing, they could be anywhere.
But I haven't seen them at all since then, and considering the things we keep in the cellar, it might be worth checking...
...maybe tomorrow.

Well there's an empty husk from one of those things downstairs, plenty of protrusions on that that could hold hats, and it has...atmosphere. On the other hand, it has...atmosphere. Hm. I'd ask...Ms Valentine maybe? She's a lot better with decor than say... me.  Please don't mind us as we drift in and out of here to take little drink and smoke breaks from the event across the street. Most of the Time Travelers I have met have learned how to apply manners and customs from diverse cultures and will have no trouble fitting in here, and they will be good business. I also now formally invite those members of this esteemed organization who possess Temporal Translation or Time Travel devices to come take part over the next few days. Parking is of course in that lot, which my assistants are now cleaning up. Most of the activity should be over there, but people will probably have some good stories for here. You are all invited to join us there, whether you are of the usual gender presentation for this Gentlemen's Club, the other customary local gender presentation, or any gender presentation you like, as we are well aware that these matters change over Time. Thank you. Very nice hats incidentally, though I hasten to point out that the pair of goggles over your eyes is the most impressive single item at first glance.  |

We definitely need a hatstand. We need several hatstands just for that little lot. In fact, I thought we had a cloak room with cloak-room-attendent-service-personnel somewhere here? Or is that full? |

I'm sorry, I just had to step out for a moment and it turned out to be three days, says Miles (a sailor)Martin, as he rolls a 40 gallon barrel of mead thru the door. He then asks the proprietor if a donation to the staff is in order,or just the usual 15%?

We usually just let the staff join in the party and serve ourselves this time of year. There is of course an 'honour' bucket in which to donate what you think the entertainment and drinks are worth. I dropped a couple of Venusian diamonds in there. Should cover us 'til Spring I reckon. |

*stares at empty glass* *looks around room* I say, does anyone here know the Bishop of Norwich? Have a refill old chap er young lady ah Ma'am. *pours port in glass* Hmmm. *adds more port* There you go, now Bishop of Norwich was it? Tall chap? Flaming red hair, slight squint, has a scar in the shape of a mitre from an unfortunate Font accident in Thetford on his shoulder, goes fly fishing every Tuesday and answers to the name of Muffin? Never met the fellow. |

Having just returned from a short time-jaunt...yes, I know I can always put those off, but my current occupation (see left) has been light lately, so I'm doing those things now...the members and staff will please find in the cellar opposite our pet creatures area, several casks of a decidedly unusual vintage.
This one is safe. Just a New Year's gift. With the hope that this is a better year than the last one, meaning, of course, that this year we pick a better world-line than we did last time.
Seeing that the comfy chair is...taken...I'll sit here by the old empty Realtor tank. Any votes on what sort of creature we'd like to put in it now? Don't forget that we can miniaturize as necessary.

In all reality, "steampunk" is anachronistic, innit? Otherwise it's just Victorian dress-up.

miles walks back in from the gents room and does a double take and says" Dagnabit I knowed it i knowed it i lost 10 days this time to that pesky ripple in time. Oh well is any of the mead i brought in left?." as he looks around for the tankard in the shape of a pirate's head that he was using.
