In Sitka the Saturday before Halloween means the Stardust Ball, a costume ball sponsored by Raven Radio. When I managed Raven we held the event in the Moose Hall, which had a great dance floor. As it grew it moved to Centennial Hall with a bad dance floor but a lot more room. Highlights of the ball are the lip sync contest and the costume awards. This year I actually got a “Golden Ticket” which meant that I was one of the 20 finalists in the costume contest. I wore robes gifted to me by my colleagues at Eye Radio in South Sudan. My picture is the last one in the next post, Stardust Ball II. I took about three hundred pictures and winnowed them down to 66. Here are the first 33. (At the request of some of you I have posted 33 more, making a total of 99, click on “Stardust Ball III”
