This is a reminder that our quasi-annual New Years Eve Boardgaming Party will be (duh) on New Years Eve. I’ve sent out invitations to local folk (i.e., Southern California) and potentially local folk who I thought would be interested. If you’ve seen the invitation, we hope you can make it — please let me know by commenting/responding in an appropriate place. If you’re in SoCal and might be interested, please contact me for specifics. Note: As this version of the post is public, I do reserve the right not to provide specifics if I have absolutely no idea who you are (so introduce yourself :-)).
Music: Folk Era Live Sampler (The Clancy Brothers): Finnegan’s Wake
