Hhhhhokay, so. Here's the Earth Eddie Dean's little black book of invented Milliways cocktails.

I have linked this before. I am linking this again. Why? Because when people mention, even in passing, anything I have created, it gives me a little ego-glow, and I want to encourage that. Frankly, I'm a pretty pathetic human being, but there you have it.

Oh right. Also because we have a lot of new and volunteer 'tenders these days, and they may not know that this resource is behind the bar with all the other books of cocktail recipes your character may be drawing on. It probably has witty and obscene commentary by Eddie Dean on how he invented the drinks and the people he invented them for, too.

Also, so that this post is not for nothing, what do you want to remind people about in the bar? Not that anyone has to acknowledge anything--consensual geography, best thing ever--but what has your character built or established or left behind that new people may not know about and even oldbies may have missed? Post it here so people can feel free to notice it later.

In addition to the Little Black Book, after the Dean left, Bernard hung a little circle of glass from their door over the bar; it's a scale-model of the rose window at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and when the light comes in right from the lake it should be pretty gorgeous.

I know there are lots more! Who can remember what the shrine to Sirius and Kassandra looks like? Trilobites? Hmm?

Is that what turned into the range out back for various types of long distance practice? I'm curious since I know when I started, the range was fairly established and love seeing how it evolved.

I don't think anyone ever sat down to make the range, officially -- although please, someone correct me if I'm wrong! I think it just grew out of people mentioning the stone wall and "a clearing" where people occasionally practiced archery/knife-throwing/etc. Gradually the assumption came to be that enough people were using it that someone(s) had put up more permanent targets and some kind of demarcation to keep passersby from wandering onto the range unannounced.

I should make sure to reference the stone wall next time Will's out there then. I love this kind of history.
