      I honestly believe we all forgot to drink or celebrate under any acceptable gentlemens' rules. I had 3 Margaritas over a 5 hour period which is way under the usual conference standards, if I remember Liverpool last September.

        Hi c.d. --

        Given that I blacked out form excessive drinking I really can't tell you if anyone embarrassed themselves. Still that was better than falling out of a chair (to be fair, from exhaustion) as I did at Liverpool last September.

        Cheers

        • Hi all

          In order to fund our upcoming RipperCon Jack the Ripper Conference 2020 (stay tuned for more information, to be announced shortly) and critically at the present time to help pay off what is owed for RipperCon just held in Baltimore -- specifically the bill at the Lord Baltimore Hotel.

          We offer now the following bargain, the first of many to be put on the Ann Boleyn's block in coming days. Come on, stick your neck out! And keep your dial set right here. . . Signed Ripper books, ephemera, all is to be sold, and all for a bloody good cause!



          Set of eleven Valentine's London postcards in torn envelope, as shown in first pic above, $20 postpaid to North American addresses (U.S., Canada and Mexico); $30 to non-NAFTA nations. Cards look to be 1930s era -- ten postcards of sepia tone plus one additional color photo of the Scots Guards marching out of Buckingham Palace.

          Good luck!

              • Finding the Missing Link. . . good luck!

                The set of vintage postcards shown below is looking for a good home, so step up to help the U.S. Jack the Ripper conference series, restarted in 2016 after an unfortunate hiatus!

                Also -- yes indeed! -- our last 2018 trivia question could still net a very nice prize for the person who answers correctly. Remember, the question is what connects the AMC series "The Terror" to Baltimore. This illustration might well give you yet another clue! Am I making this too bloody easy?!!!!
