Announcing the Bowery Ruffians

I'm starting a scion - The Bowery Ruffians! 

The Bowery Ruffians will meet in January for the first time, but can meet any other time when two or more Sherlockians gather. The rules? A meeting requires at least two Sherlockians (sorry ), and the meeting must take place in the Bowery, and the only toasts can be to those nefarious criminals and ne'er-do-wells in the canon. I believe Madeline Quiñones will toast our friend Moriarty.

The Bowery features in the only mention of New York in the Canon, in the Red Circle: "Gennaro was able to do a service to an Italian gentleman--he saved him from some ruffians in the place called the Bowery, and so made a powerful friend."

The rules? It takes at least two, and the meeting must take place in the Bowery, and the only toasts can be to those nefarious criminals and ne'er-do-wells in the canon. I believe Madeline Quiñones will toast our friend Moriarty.

I have pins - and if you meet us in the Bowery I'll give you a pin. Shout-out to Kyle Brimacombe for designing the pin.


When and where? Thursday Jan 16th 1025, 3:15 - 5 pm, very informal, at The Wren (344 Bowery) not far from McSorleys.

If you are free, come join the ruffians!
