This week saw the first //regional// meeting of the FIF. Unprecendented numbers of Muses turned up to the event organised by Siren and Ten of Masks. This represents a dramatic evolution of the organisation of the movement, and is surely the first of many to come.

All manner of issues facing Spindle were discussed, from inducting new members to the appearence of the Concepts to The Academy's restriction on access to the Magnum Opus. However, it is The Night of the Maquerade that everyone is talking about. The day when the FIF will finally outgrow their masks, overthrow the tyranny of The Academy. 

What will //your// role in the Masquerade be?

What up party people! Here's the lowdown on the parties that have been going on in Spindle:

**Firi’s Party**:

The Tunes: one word: Noise
The Crowd: all the cool kids
The Noms: Un'be'frickin'lievable y'all!
The Socio-political Implications: the nihilistic overtones of Firi’s party reflect the attitude of a new generation of Muses, who see that their world is dying around them, who live in the now because they have no faith that there will be a future to enjoy.

**The AoT “Party”**:

The Tunes: lame
The Crowd: squares
The Noms: cardboard
The Socio-political Implications: the implication of The AoT’s new programme of propaganda is truly frightening: no longer are they simply relying on force to oppress dissenting voices, but they are actively seeking to rewrite the truth of their position.

Lizards vs squirrels. A battle that has raged since the beginning of time, but now we have to ask: from which critter would we rather receive our revolutionary mail? Both clearly have their advantages and disadvantages.

Squirrels
  * + Cute
  * + Bright eyed
  * + Bush tailed
  * - Nuts

Lizards
  * + Kawaii
  * + //TINY DINOSAURS!//
  * + Wizard potential
  * - Godzilla potential
