It would be nice. Our EM is not allowed to post messages at the forums only her bosses can do that so it not likely we will hear anything from her. When I saw the UO Hall post about the event I was off like a shot to New Haven only to see he was gone, the event on Sonoma must have been done a long time before that first post at UO Hall.
I would rather attend such events as this then go to some sort of V day, St Patty's Day event. Events such as that are a real bore, but something that has a story line with the new king thing I love to attend, at least its some real role play action there with killing monsters and protecting the weak.
