This archive is divided into two sections. The first happened in the morning. The rest took place that evening. This transcript illustrates just how close-knit and full of good will we RinkChat folk are.

Some lines in this transcript refer to things that happened in RinkChat the night before, as preserved in Songs and Getting Older. Reading that archive first will help you understand this one a little better, but it's not essential, by any means.
