What’s Happening in October

Oops. Once again I’m a little late with the monthly roundup (but of course you all know that you can always check the calendar at http://nescifievents.org/?page_id=7).

My excuse this time: I’m running the 2011 Browncoat Ball, a shiny social weekend for fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefy and Serenity October 21-23 in Providence, RI, and it has ever so slightly eaten my brain. It’s going to be a mighty fine shindig, so come dancing with us!
