Hi All,

While the family church memorial has come and gone, getting the details pinned down for the Memorial For The Rest Of Us™ has been an exercise in herding cats. Fortunately, I finally do have a time and place set, and while I made mention of it on Twitter earlier today, the time has come to announce it here.

The reservation is set for 2:00pm on Sunday, February 21st. Please DM me for details on the location, since I don't want to post it publicly here for obvious reasons.

The intent here is to give Steele the kind of send-off that he wanted: celebrating his life, rather than mourning his passing. To that end, in addition to the ceremony, this will also be a potluck bar-b-que. We'll eat, drink, and share stories & memories. One of Steele's greatest passions was organizing events that brought our community together, so I can't think of a better way to honor his legacy.

Also, (and I feel REALLY awkward bringing this up) local furs Stormy & Sam started a gofundme to help with covering the costs of all this and Steele's other final expenses. This is something they came up with on their own, and I am immeasurably grateful to them for starting it, and anyone who wants to contribute, as this whole ordeal has pretty well wiped me out. Here's the link if you're interested: https://www.gofundme.com/steeleheart

I'll post more details as we get closer to the date, but I figured 3 weeks will give everyone enough time to plan.

Alright, that's enough from me for now. G'night all, and thank you.
