2009-10-05/31 Monthly LOVIEE

Note that Halloween-related events (costume contests, parties, etc) won’t be included, those will be posted in a special edition LOVIEE on or about Saturday 2009-10-24.

This is more than I ever really planned to put in a monthly LOVIEE. But, in a way, that’s a good thing.
