Pete's latest Newsletter went out today... or should have. It appears our hosting service, Dreamhost, may have had a hissy fit and chewed up Pete's message before it hit the wires. I'm investigating, but for now, and just in case any of our email-only (and possibly Web-phobic) newsletter subscribers might find their way here, here is Pete's message:

From: Pete Atkin News
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2025
Subject: PETE ATKIN NEWSLETTER MV2507
PETE ATKIN NEWSLETTER - MV2507 - 28th November 2025
If you were expecting a whole slew of Christmassy stuff from me, forget it.
No no, my sights are set well into 2026, for the admirable team at
PizzaExpressLive have blessed me with another date at the Pheasantry (as
those of you who are wise and astute enough to keep an eye on the Midnight
Voices Forum will already know). Mr Simon Wallace and I will have the
pleasure of returning there - indeed returning there again - on THURSDAY
29TH JANUARY 2026.
I’m pleased to say that tickets are already available at -
www.pizzaexpresslive.com/whats-on/pete-atkin
I shall naturally - or indeed unnaturally - do my usual damnedest to come up
with a newly concocted programme of James and Atkin goodies and curiosities,
so I hope that as many of you as possible will be able to join us (and each
other) in our latest attempt to effectuate the breakthrough we’ve been
striving for for so long. For So Long is not what we wish to be saying.
(Having reached my ninth decade, I’d rather be getting on with it.) So long
lives this... you know how it goes.
By then, of course, we shall all have passed through and, I hope, survived
the realm of Yuledom, during the course of which, who knows?, you may have
further enriched the cultural lives not only of your nearest but also of
your dearest with gifts from the Hillside Shop. But that’s another matter
entirely.
If, for whatever genuine but nevertheless regrettable reason, you’re unable
to be there on January 29th, do please spread the word anyway; and meanwhile
please do your usual damnedest to be exactly as merry as you would wish to
be in the coming season, while accepting the genuine and hopefully not
regrettable good wishes of him who is now, and who always has been, your
faithful
Pete
