Welcome to early Winter. The season caught us with our proverbial pants down, by which we mean our all season tires. On the bright side, it’s amazing what you can accomplish when there is no reasonable expectation of going anywhere. So, thanks for that, treacherous road conditions. Supporters of our Patreon will find photographic evidence of the one and only show we got out to this month, but it was a doozy.
Also, if you haven’t already picked up on it from the ridiculous number of posts we’ve made, we’re getting down to the wire on our Golden Ticket! We’re sending one lucky winner to all the best festivals in Atlantic Canada. December 20th, 2019 is the big day, so make sure you’ve entered before then, and a big thank you to everyone who has chosen to support us!
Here’s everything we covered in November, 2018.
