The League of Extraordinary Red Heads has its annual meeting set for this Wednesday at Brown's Brewing Co. in Troy. Blurbage:

The fiery festivities feature an upstate New York autumnal rite known as the "Toast of Coppertops," during which members of The League of Extraordinary Red Heads raise glasses of locally crafted Pumpkin Ale from the first batch of the season. As is their custom, the League will also discuss the items on their concise meeting agenda: "1) Us. 2) Them."

The league is, of course, about fostering ginger fellowship and solidarity. But it's an inclusive group:

Carrot tops, Cheez Doodle orangies, strawberry blondes, auburn-types, distinguished white heads ... all gingers are welcome to attend meetings of the League of Extraordinary Red Heads -- and that includes transgingers, redbeards, friends and family of the fiery follicled, too! But only those who demonstrate true extraordinaryness shall receive the highly coveted "Member" card. Our ranks include award-winning authors and journalists, college presidents, politicians, mirth-makers, lawyers, biker dudes, farmers, activists, inactivists, actors, barflies, giants, wee people and folks from all walks of life.

The event at Brown's is Wednesday, October 14 from 5:30-8:30 pm.
