Events
This is where I keep a list of upcoming events relating to my
hobbies in the surrounding area, so my friends and I can keep
track of them. It also means that I have to actually check on
these things periodically, which is a good thing (I guess). I
mostly go to events in the Triangle/Triad region of North Carolina,
though Charlotte, Richmond, and even Washington, DC aren't out
of the question. I get my dates from web sites, flyers,
newspaper/magazine listings, rumor, innuendo, and small
children I meet on the street, so you may want to confirm
them before making major life-altering plans.
