NEXT MEETING
“Come if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” (CREE)

TOASTS
THE ADVENTURE DU JOUR
Our story of the month is "The Man with the Twisted Lip" from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Debbie Clark will share Paul Churchill's "evidence box" of related artifacts (both genuine & "genuine faux") before we talk about the story. Lively discussions are a signature feature of Tin Box meetings; we hope you'll join in!
THE EVENING'S PRESENTATION
The evening's talk will be given by WTB charter member Rod McCaslin, on the subject of "'Orientalism' in 'The Man with the Twisted Lip,' the Canon, and the Pastiche Beyond."
If you have a bit of Sherlockian scholarship or entertainment you’d like to share with the group at some future meeting, please contact your friendly neighborhood Gasogene at [email protected].
THE KILLER QUIZ
Okay, it won’t kill you, and you might even find it fun. We end the night with a quiz on the month's story. Share your knowledge with your fellow Tin Boxers, and maybe win a prize!
UPCOMING MEETING DATES AND STORIES:
We hope to see you on September 18th!
