This morning, I learned that one of my favorite recurring local events, the Gaskell Ball, has returned and is back in the beautiful Oakland Scottish Rite Center ballroom where I was introduced to it about 30 years ago.

Unfortunately, I also learned that it's tonight and that ticket sales have ended shortly after finding out, presumably due to high demand and limited capacity.
