THIS TUESDAY, Sept 22nd, 7-9 PM PDT
It's Time to Sign up for our next FAR-West Campfire!
Theme: Connections - Pre-conference Jam
Host: Scotty Jacobs
Zoom Register: link at the top of our linktree in bio

Our conference theme is FAR-West Connects so let's celebrate all the things that connect us. Whether or not you're going to P-OR-tland (and we hope you are!) your presence is sorely needed at this pep rally before the pre-conference open mic that takes place in person on Wednesday evening (Oct 14th).

Remember, you don't have to stick with the theme - play what you want, or play nothing - you're welcome to just cozy up to the fire and listen. We'll be glad to see you (even if your camera is off.)

These sessions are recorded for security, but not available for replay.
