Group Calendar?

[jayadancer]

I remember that someone mentioned to me last weekend about Terry's next gig at Mullaney's.  I was thinking that it might be nice to start a thread where we could post upcoming dates for stuff our fest family is doing out and about so that we could continue to support each other throughout the year...

Hey Sweetie...

While it may not be a calendar, you can almost always count on someone to post what's going on and who's planning on going with this group.     I know I for one will be posting a Ren Day at Kennywood for Phantom Fright Nights...

Purr-fect!   

[Terry Griffith]

I guess this is as good a place as any to remind everyone about Samhain.  Pronounced Sowain, it is the Celtic New Year and the origin of Halloween.  This year, as every year for the last 10 years, Pittsburgh will celebrate Samhain at the Harp and Fiddle by decorating the entire building as a medieval castle.  It is a fund raiser for the Echoes of Erin Radio show which is broadcast every Sunday at 1:00 on WEDO radio, 810am.
This year the cover charge will be $15.00 at the door and will cover a buffet live music from 4:00 - 11:00, a costume contest and many raffles and 50/50 drawing.  I will do an hour set and Professor M will be reading palms and doing some stage magic as well.

The music is always good and it's one of Pittsburg's best parties all year.

It will be October 12, 2008, doors open at 4:00.  For directions and information visit http://www.harpandfiddle.com/annual_events.html

My next night at the Harp will be Thursday, October 23rd.  MARK YOUR CALENDARS.  If you haven't been to a Rennie night at the Harp, you have a real treat in store.  We may have lost "Health To The Company" at the faire, but we do it at the Harp.

As a veteran of many of Terry's Rennie shows let me tell you that they are special (and not in a short bus sense).  We always have a wonderful time and it's a really great way to get to know your Renn family a little better.

I come unglued when I'm passing through the glade and I hear a bit of Terry singing "The Voyage."  I cry every time I hear a little snippet of "Wild Mountain Tyme" work it's way up the hill behind our stage.  I fall completely apart at closing gate every day, even though most of our family is still here.  Hell, I cried at kareoke last night when someone did "Friends In Low Places!"  I'm not sure that I could survive a rennie night at Mullaney's after some of our family has moved on...

Jeeze.  When did I become "that girl?"   

[Terry Griffith]

Jaya, memories can be sweet and our nights at the Harp are just live memories and I know you will enjoy them.  It's our way of staying together through the off season and it keeps us going.

Families have to get together occasionally just to keep up with news and to renew our fellowship.  The Harp and Fiddle allows us to do just that.  Maybe even a dancer or three to "Toast" would be fun.

[jayadancer]

We'd be honoured to make that happen.  I just can't promise that at least one of the three won't be crying and dancing at the same time!

[Professor M]

Jaya, if you get to Samhain on October 12th, that would be awesome.  I'm still working out the details with Diane, but I'll probably be doing palm readings and maybe a few stage mentalism routines.  They rotate a different band every hour, and there's a small buffet.  Most people even come in medieval garb!  It'll give you another chance to check out men in kilts.

Rose (Our Seamstress) and I are definitely looking forward to this again this year.  We had a wonderful time last year getting a chance to see some of our Ren Family and make new friends as well.

[FoxgloveLupine]

And I know I for one will be there, come Hell or High Water...   And I think my parents may also be joining in on the Samhain celebrations!! 

[Angus_Cutter]

Mip and myself are going to try and be at as many of Terry's gigs as we can get to and almost certain that we will be at Samhain.  I might even bring a couple people from my fighting group, since they are just as geeky as Rennies are, if not more so..

[Sadira]

I'm going to try and come!!!! I need to make a kilt/belly dance outfit...

Haha! We can so make that happen. If Terry wouldn't mind being invaded by some bellydancers that is

Mind?  MIND??  I'm old but I'm "Not dead yet".  It would make my day to see you all there.
