Last night, Delaney and I went downtown. We got a picture of NEW tickets! It's been a long time! Maybe the fairies have been touring? These new ones have "X"s and "O"s. I think it must be some sort of binary code/language! I will study it. We bumped into an Ark volunteer, who said something like, "At first we didn't like it, but now we do." In reference to urban fairies at The Ark. I did not get WHY they weren't liked (at first), but they are liked now, because of the "excitement and energy" they bring. |

GgggggRrrrrrrrrr
between 1.10.07 and 1.11.07 ~ 7 tickets are gone. (1 day) between 1.11.07 and 1.12.07 ~ 16 tickets are gone. (1 day) between 1.12.07 and 1.13.07 ~ 258 tickets are gone. (1 day) between 1.13.07 and 1.15.07 ~ 104 tickets are gone. (2 days) ON 1.15.07 between 8am and 5pm ~ 214 tickets are gone. between 1.15.07 and 1.16.07 ~ 12 tickets are gone. (1 day) It may be time to call out Fairy Security. Someone must be trying (in vain) to crack the binary code. |

I don't get IN to the Ark as often as I'd like, but this morning I saw someone there and asked if I could come in. Unfortunately, I discovered that the inside of the fairy door has been damaged. The push bar is gone and part of the wood broken off. I'm guessing that the "fairy fire-marshal" will not be happy about this! I'm not (happy about this either) |

It looked as if the urban beavers had been nibbling on the fairy ticket window at The Ark! Some of the damage has since been repaired. |
