Ides of March, Minecraft Obsession with MineCon Hopes and Dreams: Friday Fragments

ByStacy (the Random Cool Chick)

Here we are, already the middle of March.  It also happens to be the Ides of March – I like the idea of a festival for the Feast of Anna Perenna, a goddess of the year (Latin annus) since the day was enthusiastically celebrated among the common people with picnics, drinking, and revelry.  We’ll gloss…
