Also, who's available to participate in the round/be a ursuprer this weekend?

Hey Y'all!
So I'm sure many of y'all are also wondering when we're having the next Rush. I don't have polling authority (or even know how they work), but if it please the Queen I figured we could at least come to a consensus about what month to have the next Rush in, and if we can isolate a weekend even better. SO: let's have a chat! Do you think we should have one this month? Wait til August? Dust off the time machine and have done one in June? Some other fourth thing?

dbskyler, the Slayer of Alien Fish
justice_turtle, the Ninja Pirate Prince/ss
thisbluespirit, the Bringer of Penguins
glinda, the Supreme Tea Temptress
idlewild, the Grand Vizier of Coffee
agirlnamedtruth, the Supreme Temporal Wrangler
lullabymoon, known as Dances-With-Nemeses*
and myself,lolmac (Beth), known as Queen Mod.
Please give a very special an fervent shout-out tojustice_turtle, whose tireless enthusiasm coaxed the 'Rush back into life again. TURTLE ROCKS!!
Many happy thanks to everyone who participated. Please keep an eye on this comm and watch for a new poll to choose a weekend for an April round. I think it's clear that the Rush is back with a mighty roar, and we have plenty more good rounds ahead!
*(even if the Nemesis is no longer there in the house, you can still dance, right?)

Countdown to Fred
Fri, Mar. 16th, 2018 08:32 amlolmacRound Fred begins this evening! Unless you're east of the GMT time zone, in which case it begins very early tomorrow morning.
I've drawn up a table of anchor posts across the time zones where I know we have current Mod Squad members. It shows the US under Daylight Savings Time and Europe under standard time, as they are at present, and won't be next month and we'll worry about that then.
Arizona is in with PDT.
Mods, please lay claim to anchor posts in the comments. Feel free to negotiate with/cajole/bribe one another if so inclined, just avoid bloodshed. The ones in blue are key, although it would be nice to have all anchors in place. I will engage to start and end the round.
.
ETA: Well, that's weird. My screen shows half the table poking into the post below it. Trying to fix it.
