Stuff happening in December

Hello and happy holidays!

I've got a couple of arty events coming up next month in San Francisco. Yeah, I know the approaching cold might make you want to stay in and snuggle up with a good book, but both of these events are for good causes, so get out and come see me. There'll be plenty of time to rest in the grave.
