Community Calendar:
We have a few special concerts coming up this week: Die Bunten Vögel comes to Sirannon on Saturday, Duidhrastir & Laaleth play elven duets Sunday on Crickhollow, and the Rolling Kegs play April OAKS on Tuesday. Daylight saving time ends in Australia on Sunday, so No Whole Bard has moved their shows to 7am EDT/ST. Please note that Notenzauber has canceled all upcoming shows, which means no performance on Saturday.
