Winter WarmUp’s “Early Bird” discount is going…going…

Last warning: If you want to register for Winter WarmUp at the “Early Bird” rate, you need to do it by the end of day Saturday, Nov. 1.

And if you want to score another “Early Bird” discount by adding an order for one of our stylish T-shirts—featuring a cartoon homage to our featured bands Dam Beavers and Toss the Possum—you also need to do it by Saturday.

In other words, time is running out!
