Jellicle Ball 2012
This could be real fun Halloween. One question: Given that it is
Halloween and BLACK Cats are sought out by some very deranged HUMANS, is any cat working on SECURITY?!? Normally we have to worry about D*GS, but this year we need to worry more about deranged HUMANS. If need be I can cast another of my cloaking spells like I did last year, still there is always a chance that some HUMAN might trip over our party through simply blind LUCK and there is nothing I can do about that. Bobcat is always cautious with me around Halloween because I am a BLACK Cat, and he wants to keep me SAFE.... I'll look forward to seeing you at the Jellicle Ball Misty the Black Panther Two of the places that have been suggested so far, Cat Island (where we held the Jellicle Ball in 2009) and Der Schloss der Alten Katzen (the Countess' castle) are both in kitty-only territory where we wouldn't have to worry about humans. Two of the others, Winchester Mystery House and the Hotel del Coronado, are frequented by humans but we would have access to cat-only areas (aside from our few human guests, of course) so we should be ok there. And I'm sure Big Mama will be there. Very few humans would care to tangle with a full-sized black panther! Just to be safe, though, I'll ask if some of the High Priestess of Bast's guards would be willing to provide security. They're pretty fearsome kitties. Amelia |

Weh dun't wike spooky pwases,Pi2nya . Owr sekritary gitz skard vury eezily n hur gitz bad dreemz lotz But dis pwace, Cat Valley, soundz gud. R dem ghosts bad ghosts or gud ghosts? Mosey fur hiz Hous I tink maybe sumplayze spooky, synze it iz so kloze tu Holloween? Pi2nya "Community Kitties" If ze catmunity duzn't find any place betterer, I'z would like to offer mine old summer castle. It's in ze hills overlooking ze Fluss des Schwarzenkatzen (ze River of Black Cats) where it flows through das Tal der Katzen (Cat Valley). Mine late husbandcat moved us to ze castle I live in now many years ago when we decided zat ze old castle was too drafty. Both castles had been in ze family for centuries. When we moved out of ze old castle we gave it to ze katzen living in ze nearby village, along with a bunch of building materials. Ze villagers refurbished about half of ze old castle, and turned it into a nice bed and breakfast. Ze old castle is haunted, but ze ghosts there are nice. Zat is one of ze reasons ze villagers only refurbished half of ze castle - they left half of it untouched so zat ze ghosts will continue to feel at home. Ze castle (Der Schloss der Alten Katzen) haz comfortable rooms large enough for two cats to big rooms wiz room for lots of cats, has provision fur Doggs and ozzer aminals, and has a wonderful banquet hall and a beautiful ballroom. So if ze Community doesn't find any place else, ze castle is always available. Countess Persia Katzenplatzen |

Amelia Dear Countess Persia , I don't think we have met, I'm "Misty" from the House of Ruskin, I look forward to meeting you at the Jellicle Ball. Amelia: I DO hope the Bast's High Priestess does come, she was such a delightful cat last year. Did I met Big Mama last year?!? Is she really a full size Black Panther, or another Bombay like me -- sometimes called a mini "Black Panther" as we tend to look exactly like panthers... only much, much, smaller?? Though that gives me an idea... IF "Big Mama" is NOT a full sized Black Panther, I could shape shift into one and patrol the halls to ensure that NO foolish human DARE even THINK about crashing our party -- now THAT would be FUN!!! Now *THAT* would be the ULTIMATE "costume" for Halloween!!!! Trick or Treat!!!! Hehehehe. I'd like to propose an idea and see if any cat would like to second it: Normally the Jellicle Ball is held for only one night, that being the night of the 1st full moon in October, after which come the sunrise we retreat to spend 3 days of meditation reflecting on on our Jellicle lives and those that have gone before us. This year since the Fill Moon occurs on the 29th of October, and Halloween is the 31st of October, I propose we EXTEND the Jellicle Ball all the way through Halloween, and come the Sunrise of All Souls Day, we retreat back to our homes to begin our 3 days of meditations and reflections. Indeed given that Halloween is so close to the Jellicle Ball, ALL cats -- but BLACK CATS in particular -- will be in DANGER from deranged HUMANS, this way we KNOW where all the Community cats are, and so should be SAFE -- Safety in numbers you know -- unless they O.D. on 'nip. I'd also like to propose that some cat contact Bast's High Priestess and request that should she come that she bring with *several* of her guards to provide security. While this year we don't have to ensure that Bast's Temple remain undiscovered, this year we need to ensure that deranged humans don't accidentally find us and make off with one of us for use as an "animal sacrifice" on Halloween... hard to believe that this is the 21st Century and there are kooky humans who still practice animal sacrifice. Sad... Do we have any volunteers for this job?!? ANY human that is allowed to attend this years Ball in particular *MUST* be vouched for by 3 cats, or unless they are already HC's . Any D*G that is allowed to attend must likewise be vouched for as SAFE by 3 cats and must have proof of rabies vaccination. BTW has anyone proposed who will be our MC for this years Ball?!? IF the planning committee were to chose one the castles proposed by Countess Persia, I'd like to nominate Countess Persia to be this year's Mistress of Ceremonies. Even if we do NOT decide to use one of her castles, I'd still like to nominate her for the job. Do we have any seconds on this nomination??? Are there and seconds on any of these proposals?!? This may turn into one of those Jellicle Balls that may live on in infamy in the annals of rpcc lore!!! Cats, and Humans and D*Gs... and MAYBE a full sized Black Panther on the prowl -- Oh my!!!

Rebecca Dear Rebecca. While I was trying to understand my jean-ee-ol-oh-gee I found some papers left behind by my great, great, great grand dam Bonnie the Black Panther which gives the History of the Jellicle Ball While I had remembered -- read?? --"3 days of meditation" here is the quote from the "History": "...The Dawn should be breaking about this time, and as the various cats leave through the portals between the screens, we can then reflect on the meaning of the Jellicle Ball: To Remember What Happiness Is; To Love One Another, so a New Day can begin." I am not sure if it is 3 Days of meditation -- maybe 3 days were suggested at one time -- but it *this* House 3 Days of Meditation and reflection following the Jellicle Ball are observed. I truly miss my twin brother Phantom who died 3 years ago. I imagine him along with my great, great, great grand Dam Bonnie the Black Panther and my great, great, great, great Aunt Gypsy waiting for me over the Bridge.... or maybe they have come back to a NEW and better Jellicle Life. Below is the History of the 1st Jellicle Ball. Bonnie and her Wink- Wink Galaxy -- he was a totally WHITE CAT -- in his WHITE fur coat must have made quite a sight. Sometimes I wish I had a wink-wink as handsome as Galaxy must have been SIGH!!! Still I am truly a niece of my Aunt Bonnie as I in-her-it-ted all her Powers of the Night that passes down through the FEMALE lines, as I have read in my family jean-ee-ol-oh-gee. Most of the males turned out to be models; most of the females exhibited some type of power, which included powers over or understanding dreaming, "kitchen cats", shape shifters, etc. etc.; but sometimes it skipped a generation or two. My twin brother was a be-u-ti-ful cat but was rather unremarkable, I never understood WHY I could do somethings he could never do until I found the notes and jean-ee-ol-oh-gee . Any rate here is the History of the 1st Jellicle Ball: The History of the 1st Jellicle Ball Part 1 "The theme for the 1st Annual RPC Jellicle Ball is: The Transcendental Power of Love. "Since RPC came on line, many wonderful and special kittens and cats have passed to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. But *-- as we know since we are CATS -- death is not the end to life, but rather the beginning of a new one. It should not be seen as a period of protracted mourning, but rather as a period of celebration -- this is more-or-less in keeping with the poet T.S. Eliot's works about CATS: We gather once a year to select the cat that can come back to a new Jellicle Life. Love is a binding force that transcends both time and space, and we will all reunite at the Rainbow Bridge. In recognition that there are so many kittens and cats deserving of a new Jellicle Life this year we pay honor to all who have gone before; to celebrate their lives in story, song, and memories. " Bonnie, The Black Panther Part 2 "The area for the Ball will cover a circular area approximately the size of Yankee Stadium. In the center will be a computer center with globe projector and split beam prisms. Around the puuurrrrrimeter will be 100 "ft." tall projection screens with spaces in between. These spaces will be exits and entrances for the various participants. These exists and entrances must be secured from D*GS. While I do not advocate the use of razor wire, if that is what is necessary to provide security do it. The purrrson that has volunteered for this has a big task on his paws. A various places around the purrrrrimeter there will be stages of different types. The main stage will hold the band where music will be played; 180 degrees away will be a circular stage for story tellers. Here many of our brave tales can be told again so that they may be re-told for generations to come. Cats who forget their past, as we all know, have no future." Bonnie, The Black Panther, Co- Host of the 1st RPC Annual Jellicle Ball Part 3 "As the Full Moon starts to rise, and the stars come out to shine, one name at a time will be projected onto a huge main projection screen which is to be adjacent to the band. Spike, our original MC for this Ball will be the first name to be shown, out of respect. The format will be this: "The Cat's [or kitten's] name, and the name of the house they protected. Ex. Gypsy, House of Ruskin. No other titles will be used -- on this night all cats are to be considered of equal rank. All cats will be treated in this manner. In the event the Cat or Kitten belonged to no home, it will be the Cat or Kitten's name, House of Bastet. The MC will rule over the Ball. We still do not have any submissions for the MC, therefore I am appointing Christofur, esq, executor for Spike to 1) Find someone who will serve in the role. The is a very HIGH HONOR. The cat selected should be our oldest inhabitant -- in the event that no nominations are put forth, by default Christofur, esq will be the MC." Bonnie, The Black Panther Co-Host of the 1st Annual Jellicle Ball Part 4 "The MC for the ball will rule over the Ball [which will be Christofur by default if no other cat can be found]. The next to last song will be Memories. The Host and Hostess of the Ball [Sir Galaxy and myself, or Sir Galaxy and my stand-in, the lovely Ebony, The Black Panther (though if I can not make it I will be there in spirit as I watch the Moon sail overhead)] will have the whole floor unto themselves for the first few measures, they will then invite all other cats to then join them. At the end of the song the MC will ask that those cats deserving of a New Jellicle Life be simultaneously projected through the beam splitters to fall upon all the huge projection screens that surround the puuurrrrimeter. All the names which have been shown will now be shown one final time en mass. They will remain projected for 30 seconds before the start to revolve around the gathered assemblage, first rather slowly, but then faster and faster until they become one indistinct blurr where upon they will start to rise towards the curved in peaks of the projection screens -- up past the Russel Hotel, up into the Heavyside Layer -- the the names will meet in a final blast of light, and the simultaneous release of fireworks. As the fireworks fade the Band will begin to play a melody of "The Power of Love" and "Everybody Wants to be a Cat". The Dawn should be breaking about this time, and as the various cats leave through the portals between the screens, we can then reflect on the meaning of the Jellicle Ball: To Remember What Happiness Is; To Love One Another, so a New Day can begin." Bonnie, The Black Panther, Lady of the House of Ruskin, Lady to Sir Galaxy, Hosts of the 1st Annual RPC Jellicle Ball |
