I used to always delete “appearances” from my home page after the events were past, but I have a terrible memory, and realized recently that if I just archive them… it gives me an idea of where the hell I’ve been over the past year or two (and I suppose, one or two souls out there besides me might be interested.) So the list will keep on rolling:
