    <content type="html">It's official.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the COVID-19 threat, we are officially postponing Consonance to a date sometime later in 2020.&lt;br /&gt;If you cannot make whatever date we pick for rescheduling, you can either request a refund or roll your membership over to Consonance 2021.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any more questions, feel free to ask any of us on the concom. We are very sorry about this, but we'd rather err on the side of caution than risk losing (permanently) a large chunk of our membership.&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Lynn Gold &lt;br /&gt;Chair, Consonance 2020&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=figmo&amp;ditemid=654097" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Jordin coded yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. From what I can gather, he'd had heart valve replacement surgery and never woke up from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was a shocker. I didn't know about the heart surgery, and I was shocked to hear he'd died. Other than the valve, Jordin was in pretty good shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still reeling. He was kind of a mentor to me in the filk community. He showed me how to deal with difficult situations with grace and dignity. He was also a gentleman, a gentle soul, and had a terrific sense of humor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sympathy goes out to Mary Kay Kare and to the rest of his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=figmo&amp;ditemid=642792" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
