There is nothing new under the sun. Except, perhaps, this:
On Wed., Nov. 26th, at Barts Pathology Museum in London, Dead Meet (“Dating and Networking for Death Professionals”), is holding its Inaugural Dead Meet Up, a networking event at which noted Waugh scholar and EWS honorary vice president Ann Pasternak Slater will discuss “The Loved One.” After Ms. Pasternak Slater’s talk, Kevin Sinclair, a member of the British Institute of Embalmers, “will tell [the audience] whether or not the procedures [described] in the book are true to life.”
The event runs from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. and is open to all, although Dead Meet members receive discounted admission and special tour privileges within Barts [sic] Pathology Museum.
