This one was in fact just a Trinity College, Oxford alumni dinner in New York. The above-mentioned Byronists attended and then lurked behind after everyone else had gone. One advantage of doing it this way was that we acquired Masato Miyazaki, who had not been in the loop, but just happened to be there. He had been at one of the events in 1987 where he composed a ground-breaking prose poem concerning the effects of magnetism on certain parts of the body.
