So the KVMR Grass Valley Celtic Festival is over (9/27-28), where we had a great time, met the members of Solas, and became completed enamored of their new album "For Love and Laughter". And time continues to fly....Linda's birthday has come and gone (10/24, and if you're curious, she's 29 AGAIN!!), Halloween is over (we succeeded in avoiding most of the candy), and we are now heading into a new era with the first African-American president! I'm not sure if that's gonna make any difference, but we'll just have to wait and see.
In the meantime, N8i have a few cool gigs coming up. We're entertaining Firemen at the Fireman's Ball in Chico, CA, which is taking place at the famous Big Room at the Sierra Nevada Brewery. It is not a public event, but if you are a firefighter in Butte County, and you see us there, come say hello! We'll be the ones cruising the buffet table, drinking Sierra Nevada beer and acting silly...wait, that could be just about anyone!! OK we'll be the ones with the musical instruments...drinking Sierra Nevada beer and acting silly!!

We are also going to be at the Fox & Goose a few times in both November and December...11/25 and 12/30 are Irish Session nights (the Last Tuesday of the Month session), while 11/13 and 12/26 are Nine-8ths Irish band performance nights.

We're quite excited about the December dates, as the 26th will be the day after Christmas, so we're thinking it'll be a night for everyone to finally relax after the hectic pre-Christmas shopping, the emotional Christmas eve & morning, the stressful Christmas dinner, etc....so what better way to unwind than a few drinks and some Irish music at your favorite pub downtown??! Come as you are, and we'll be happy to see you!!

So if anyone is wondering what to do on Thursday 11/13, or to unwind before Thanksgiving (11/25), or the day after Christmas 12/26 (a Friday night!!), or 12/30 Tuesday, come on down to join us at the Fox & Goose!

Happy Holidays everyone!
