Kara, I'll happily answer your question here -- We are likely to be
traveling a bit more around the city in October and be more in one place in
November and December. On the other hand, you are likely to have more
studio-type work in November and December. You will have the time around
thanksgiving, as well as a few weekends, to do your own thing. We will have
a more finalized schedule before the start of the summer, as I expect most
people will want to make these sorts of plans. Now, can I ask you to post
this (my response) as well as your original question to our weblog? I'd like
to encourage this as a means of communication so everyone can see what
questions have been asked and answered! best as ever, Nicholas
