I realised today, while looking over the last couple of weeks of posting on Facebook, that I didn’t make an announcement I thought I had.1

I’m very pleased to announce that the Ohio Valley Filk Festival has asked me to be their Toastmaster in 2018!  This will be my 17th consecutive OVFF, and I couldn’t be more excited.  In addition to myself, guests include Cheshire Moon, Harold Stein, and Julia West!  It’s going to be a great time, so I hope you’ll come out and see us!

Meanwhile, I will also be Toastmaster at Conflikt in Seattle this January, so I’m looking forward to a great deal of being Toasty next year. 🙂
