THE MARCH OF SOPHISTRY

This is a list of all the LoserEvents we can remember. Generally, we've been holding one LoserBrunch per month since July of 1994, although in time other Events arose that would pre-empt a Brunch in the same month. Where you see "No evidence of brunch," that is where we don't know that a brunch was cancelled or that it was pre-empted in some way.

We will be adding to this as we do some long-overdue filing. If you can fill in some of the blank spaces, or correct our memory, or comment in an interesting way, please e-mail Grace.
