One ball down, one to go! The big event this month is my annual trip to Gettysburg for Remembrance Day Weekend, this year with only one ball. I’ll also squeeze in a quick trip to Boston and a three-week series of disco line dance classes before retreating home to more-or-less hibernate for a couple of weeks and work on writing and blog restoration before things pick up again in the first half of December.

A full list of events further into the future may be found on my overall gig calendar.
