I’m writing this just after returning from Tess Dworman’s marvelous Everything Must Go at Pageant. Sometimes my “picks” don’t quite align with my expectations, and other times I’m glad to have nudged people in a certain direction. This was a case of the latter. A neat thing about Pageant is that they post videos of all their events on Patreon, and access to the full archive costs a mere $4/month. So, if you missed this one, you should be able to catch it there soon. Some other past shows I recommend are Julia Antinozzi’s What Light and But, Soft, and Things in the World by Jade Manns.
The fall abundance continues after a Thanksgiving week lull. For personal reasons, I may not be out and about too much over the next few weeks, but here’s what I aspire to see if I’m able. For new subscribers (welcome!) I’m also re-listing an upcoming event at the Park Avenue Armory, which I shared in my post a couple of weeks ago.
