I'm removing a couple items from the "off list" section, as they're now irrelevant and won't happen. The bicycle-related items are moving up to the "off list" section, as I now plan to do that in March when the weather should be a little more agreeable (at least a little warmer). Finalizing the Go Play NW budget is bumped up to the "old items". The Apocalypse D&D / Dungeon World items are all off the list now; I posted a draft of the sha'ir class I've been working on, which does need some expansion and revision but doesn't need to be a list item anymore, and I'm going to start running a Dungeon World game soon so I don't need to have dungeon preparation as a list item. I'm not sure whether this belongs as a list item, but besides those four concerts, I'm also planning to go to the TRUST dance night at the Baltic Room on Saturday Feb. 19. It's looking like a busy month, but a big part of that is the set of old items here that I still need to take care of, and once again, several of them could all be done together in a day if I just take that step.
