Well one tiny mouse tail of a problem: Didn't Yosemite Valley BURN this past summer?? I remember reading about the BIG FIRE there and that it burned, burned, burned. As an alternative site what about the Grand Canyon, in AZ?!? We could then keep with the Pioneer theme, or maybe somewhere on the route to Salt Lake City Utah?!?

I think the Pioneer Theme is excellent and we can tell tails about the roles CATS played in in settling the West. Tomorrow night I will start to peak as my Full Moon and Magic of the Night power will be starting to peak. If you need a paw, you can have all four of mine. I will second the motion that you be the Mistress of Serrymoniee. Hopefully you have a wink-wink to escort you. This would be our 19th Annual Jellicle Ball if I am correct.

The Theme and Title of of Ball: The 19th Annual Jellicle Ball: "The REAL Story of How the West Was Won as told by a Campfire Cat Who Was There"

I was jus talin' wif my brother out on Catifurnia, and him reminded me
dat Cat Valley surfifed da Yosemite Fire wif no damage at all. Cat
Valley is one third in Yosemite, one third in the John Muir Wilderness,
and one third a dimension that's not accessable to hoomins (except
through kitty teleporters).

Da lakes and streams in Cat Valley were furry important to da hoomins
fighting da fire, and a lot of da aminals made homeless by da fire hid
in Cat Valley. A lot of dem are still dere, afraid dat dey won't be able
to find acceptable new homes in da parks. But it's not at all crowded,
so if youz want to hold da Jellicle Ball at Yosemite it is still
available through Cat Valley.
