Actually, the Jellicle Ball is the LAST full moon in October.
In this case it's Halloween.

But you're welcome to come joim join us on the 1st to party!

Sorry Sammy this is from Part 4:

Part 4

be held on the first Full Moon of October in the event
October has a Blue Moon."

The date stamp 7 Oct 2007 which means this is a copy of the
original which was in 1996. You can tell that this was a Re-Dated
COPY of the Original as it is broken down into the Original 4
Parts. This was found on a Backup server. It was probably copied
over to a new hard drive, or because an older machine was about
to be retired. Now IF things have changed do you have something
that documents that? If NOT then according to this it is the 1st
Full Moon in the event there is a Blue Moon (ie two Full Moons in
the same calendar month). Below is Part 4 in its entirety.

Part 4

The MC for the ball will rule over the Ball [which will be
Christofur by default if no other cat can be found]. The next to
last song will be Memories. The Host and Hostess of the Ball [Sir
Galaxy and myself, or Sir Galaxy and my stand-in, the lovely
Ebony, The Black Panther (though if I can not make it I will be
there in spirit as I watch the Moon sail overhead)] will have the
whole floor unto themselves for the first few measures, they will
then invite all other cats to then join them. At the end of the
song the MC will ask that those cats deserving of a New Jellicle
Life be simultaneously projected through the beam splitters to
fall upon all the huge projection screens that surround the
puuurrrrimeter. All the names which have been shown will now be
shown one final time en mass. They will remain projected for 30
seconds before the start to revolve around the gathered
assemblage, first rather slowly, but then faster and faster until
they become one indistinct blurr where upon they will start to
rise towards the curved in peaks of the projection screens -- up
past the Russel Hotel, up into the Heavyside Layer -- the the
names will meet in a final blast of light, and the simultaneous
release of fireworks. As the fireworks fade the Band will begin
to play a melody of "The Power of Love" and "Everybody Wants to
be a Cat". The Dawn should be breaking about this time, and as
the various cats leave through the portals between the screens,
we can then reflect on the meaning of the Jellicle Ball: To
Remember What Happiness Is; To Love One Another, so a New Day can
begin. In subsequent years the Jellicle Ball will be held on the
first Full Moon of October in the event October has a Blue Moon.

I think that was lost in the mist of time. Most later balls speak
specifically to the Hunter Moon, not the Harvest moon. You don't
nessecarily see it in the actual speaches, but it's in the setup
messages. What I note is with 31 days in October, there is usually
just one full moon. If there are 2 in October, it's because the
harvest moon comes in the first day. Hence the tradition as I know
it, has been the Hunter moon (which speaks to cats as hunters vice
farmers over a harvest).

We'll all gladly attend your party but unless I am mistaken, Cat
Cat Village in Vietnam is the one for this year. I rather think we
may try Africa (perhaps Egypt) next year?

PS: I didn't pick Cat Cat Village, another did. It's been suggested
3 times so it was time to try making some fun with it in a rural
setting. I've added some vary basic elements of ecologically
sustainable and hope no one minds. It's kept very mild and fits
their environment.

I hope you are not upset over this. BTW, the next time we will have
2 full moons in October is 2039.

OMG, sorry, I may have jumped the gun today , with the new post this
evening. I'll try to go back and delete it, otherwize just correct
Petunia on that posting

Smile, no problem. I gather this confusion happens every 8-10 years.

Perhaps this year one of the speakers can work it into their speach
about enjoying the farmers rejoycing at the harvest (notice quietly,
Cat Cat Village did exactly that on the appointed day) as the cats ramp
up for the Hunters moon (since they are hunters).
