Thread Name: does anyone celebrate 'first night'?
Subject: RE: does anyone celebrate 'first night'?
Us Woodchucks have played at some First Night or other every year for about 12-13 years except one year when we were out west with the offspring (now that they're both over 30 it seems odd to call them "children"). Usually Rutland, VT, but several elsewhere in VT and one in NH. Pay is usually pretty good for winter. We're doing Rutland this year. (To our Brit members: "Rutland" is not a joke line in the US.)
Why is it First Night, anyway? We usually play before midnight, and it's actually "Last Night" until midnight.
