I'm going for sure.
What: Celtic Dragon's "Imbloc/St. Brigid's Day Festival"
Where: 1503A Chartres Houston, Texas 77003 (first floor of "Meridian")
When: Sat. January 31, 2009 noon to 8:00p.m.
Admission is free.
This festival benefits the Shriner's Hospital of Houston.
These folks are trying to bring back the many Celtic festivals that used to go on a few years ago in Houston. (remember the "Garden in the Heights" days?) They need our support to make them successful. I hope to see some of us there!
Alan
me and some of my crew will be going
I posted pics from this night on Myspace, and will add them here when I finish editing them: lighten, crop, zoom, etc. and I could use help with some of the names!
If ye didn't make it, ye missed quite the event! Fantastic craic! It's been many moons since I've laughed so much! ;D
I'm sorry I missed it. I'd like to see some pics and read how it went.
There's also a Celtic Festival at the St. Andrews Episcopal Church on February 15th from noon on. Zardoz has posted this elsewhere. I haven't been to this and am looking forward to it.

Nice pics! Thanks! I've seen that play at McClellans' Scottish Pub a few months ago. Is that Lars Sloan on the pipes?
Aye, 'tis! Apparently he and Brian played at TRF this year and I missed it. If I work faire at all next season, it will only be carrying a banner in parade. And this time, I mean it!
I missed Lars and Brian, too, although I enjoyed Tartanic and Wind & Alchemy.
Ah, now, those I didn't miss, since the stage was close to my booth. ;D Wondrous way to start off a fyne morrow!
