hi everyone [self-promotion disclaimer here],

of--winter public performances.  We'd also like to announce our budding web-
site, as well as fun new spin-off projects from the Isle of Klezbos... such as
this week's debut of Ana & the Tevka's (think Tevye's Fiddler meets the
Amazons of Y2K).  Below is a list of various upcoming dates; for more details,
