The Birthday Weekend

Sherlock Holmes birthday celebrations are held in New York and London the first two full weekends in January (the order varies between the two cities to enable fun-loving Sherlockians to "cross the pond" and attend both). ASH events bookend the New York Weekend with an informal dinner on ASH Wednesday and a Sunday brunch.

THE BIRTHDAY WEEKEND 2008 was held January 9-12. See the Baker Street Journal schedule of events here.

The Gaslight Gala

The Baskerville Bash replaced the ASH dinner traditionally held at the same time as the invitation-only BSI evening. Although the Bash was not an ASH-sponsored activity, there were many ASH in the B.B.C. (Baskerville Bash Committee) Sherlockian scion. In 2007, the Bash was replaced by the Gaslight Gala.

Springtime in Baker Street

For many years, Bob and Terry Thomalen organized a Sherlock Holmes weekend called "Autumn in Baker Street." When this event was retired a few years ago, it was missed by many Sherlockians. In 2006, the weekend returned, reborn as "Springtime in Baker Street." Adventuresses flocked to Tarrytown NY again and had a wonderful time.
