In this region, there is always something going on. I thought I would start a thread here to highlight upcoming activities that other here maybe interested in.
Please feel free to post events/activities happening in our region.
I will kick it off ....
Lady Guinness and I have gone to this one for the past 3 or 4 years. A great time!

This weekend: 5 December
*raises hand* Me(han) will be there.... anyone else?
Love too but sadly that is on the same day as 2 parades for VARF. :-[ We will be walking the Richmond Christmas Parade in the morning and Fredericksburg Christmas Parade in the evening. I think I'll be all walked out! ;)
The Pyrates Royale are said/rumored to be performing January 9, 2010 - someplace.
The O'Danny Girls will be performing at "Winter Wonder~Bra~Land", Saturday, January 23, 2010, 7:30pm at the Comedy Spot in Ballston Commons Mall, Arlington, VA. This is a belated Christmas show, where they will perform songs you don't hear at faire, such as "Silver Balls", "Dominick the Donkey" and "Throbbing Dreidel".

This is by the same wonderful people that do FaerieCON.
We went to FC and had a wonderful time. Great hotel with the whole place taken over by Fey folk at that time. I'm ready to take over Ren-style!
Clan Ravenwolves will be there!

The balls are fantastic if they are going to be half as great as the Faerie Balls... we bought all of the cds and ares till enjoying the music!
Lady Joyce beet me to it. I just got a Face Book invite late yesterday and saw it this morning
Yep RenCon. This looks so exciting. I want to do at least on day and a ball if not the whole thing.
Marking my calendar now. And let's not forget the camping weekend ... Renstock. I'm no good at links ... but there is a Renstock forum subject for info ...
RenCon?... oh God. And in April? That means I can *GASP!* plan!!! Yeah, ummm... new topic or no... *hand raise* There. So there.
Celtic Christmas at Boordy Vineyard... a bunch of us are going this Saturday, December 12th.

In Garb? Celtic Christmas at a winery! I know I missed it ... but oh my gosh that sounds like it would be fun!
We had a blast!! Every gentleman had on their kilts :)
It figures RenCon and Persephone's Masquerade would be the first two weeks in April- when I'll be in the UK and unable to attend.
However, the MD Faerie Festival's Winterfest is February 6th. I went last year and had a good time. I'm not particularly "fae-like" but I do use it as an excuse to go all out with garb!
Here are the details from wench.org forums for Pyrates Royale!!!
If anyone wuld like to ride share from the Leesburg area, I'll pay for gas so I don't have to drive in the dark. PM me if interested.

From Skivvy - Pyrates Royale Winter Doldrums Concert Returns!!! (posted on Facebook)
We know that the recent holiday season and blizzard have made many of you grumpier than a bulldog with a mouth full of hornets. Being snowed in so you could enjoy an extra long unwanted visit from your least favorite cousins and their sniveling pack of mucus-covered brats, or the receipt of the predictable neutron-star-dense lugubrious inedible fruitcake from Auntie Hortense, or being forced to watch "It's A Wonderful Frank Capra Film" again, and again, and again simply can't improve one's outlook.
How about: "It's A Wonder You Didn't Go All Jack Nicholson- The Shining- on the whole family".
We feel the same way. So as a public service, we'll be reprising our Winter Doldrums Concert in the Memorial Hall of lovely Galesville, Maryland on January 9th.
We will have exotic beers and light snacks, but you might also join us before the show in the nearby fancy restaurant. We expect to be in costume in order to startle the "normal" diners and you had better be, too. Now put that axe down and start ordering your tickets, m'kay?
Tickets: $15/advance; $20/door (to order tickets call 443-786-0463 or e-mail janiemeneely@gmail.com)
Be sure to ask Janie about the restaurant details. It's a nice place. They even supply tableware.
The Galesville Memorial Hall sits between the Post Office and the fire hall, on the left as you travel down the main drag into Galesville. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15/advance or $20/door. To order tickets call 443-786-0463 or e-mail janiemeneely@gmail.com.
