And just like that it's Thanksgiving Week 2012. Not quite sure how it snuck up on us like this but here we are. So yeah. Make your plans, stuff your turkey, do your thing (whatever that may be) and above all, have an entirely enjoyable time.

I'll be spending a lot of time in my basement "workshop"  this week making stuff for some upcoming craft fairs while listening to old records and rocking out. I also hope to sneak out here and there, especially since there's some sneak-out worthy live music happening this week.

Here's a sample. Take note and get out there. Three words, people: SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!

MONDAY (As in TONIGHT! November 19) 6 to 8 p.m. at Flatbread Pizza on 72 Commercial St. in Portland. Eat some pizza, have some beverages and listen to Sara Hallie Richardson shrichardson.bandcamp.com
