Enjoy!

p.s. In many cases the images below can be clicked to link to a website. I try and do that whenever there are tickets to purchase or other reasons to link.
If you want something added to this newsletter - please click here! The best thing to send me is a PDF or JPG of a poster describing your announcement. Do not send me press releases. They don't work well in this format and I don't have the time to reformat them. Thanks!
