February 1st, 2013
Back from our winter hiatus, we are four years old now and we're mixing things up just for this occasion. Instead of one overall theme, each performer will hold forth on a different "how I learned..." topic. It's like a free-for-all. It's a cornucopia of How I Learned delights.
There will also be special surprises, but I'm not sure what they are just yet. Anyway, anniversary presents are welcome and encouraged. We can't wait to see you.
