In-Person Meeting for the Sherlock Holmes-Lynn Riggs Connection
The Perceivers' Privy Council has scheduled our next in-person event.
On 24th May, we will view the hourlong films Sherlock Holmes Goes to Washington and Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror; the screenplays were written by Claremore native Lynn Riggs. With the time to be determined, the event will feature a lecture by Lynn Riggs expert Andy Couch at the Circle Theatre, 10 S. Lewis Ave., Tulsa, 74014. Invitations will go out in mid-March. Afterward, we will repair to the Circle's bar to toast the birthdays of Queen Victoria and Arthur Conan Doyle.
Because of limited space, RSVPs are required. As our own Miss Frasier noted a decade ago in the late, great Richard Kearns's Digital Dispatch, those not responding to invitations to in-person events and just showing up AND those responding but not showing up have long created issues for this group. Miss Frasier observed then (and now) that managers and servers at the locations need accurate headcounts so our events can be appropriately staffed. It's a matter of respect, and our group's collective lack of courtesy over the years has led to our being told by literally dozens of Tulsa establishments not to return. We can do better.
On 11th Jan., 16 Perceivers celebrated Sherlock's birthday. Our robust discussion centered on Lucy Worsley's Holmes vs. Doyle three-part PBS series and a lecture by Dean Clark.
