Samhain

[Professor M]

Hello, my friends,

I know most of you know about Samhain and are planning on coming but here is a link to the info page with a schedule.  http://www.pittsburghirish.org/echoesoferin/Samhain2008/index.htm  I hope you can come before I'm on at 5:30.  Professor M will be doing readings all day but is on stage at 7:30.  The music is good all day.

Please come in garb or if you are tired of it, wear some other kind of costum.  The Harp is on Penn Avenue in the Strip and if you are coming from downtown you need to come up either Liberty or Smallman to 24th Street and then over to Penn because Penn is one way going towards town.  For you Google Maps types, the address is 2329 Penn Avenue - Pittsburgh, Pa. 15222  and for you GPS types, N40 degrees 27.205 - W079 degrees 58.838.

I look forward to seeing everyone.  I'm having rennie withdrawals.

Ha!  Started a new topic with a quote.  Cool, huh?

Diane makes it sound like I have a band: Michael Mykita and Psychic Scenes.  Actually I'm going to be doing parts of my mentalism act.  It's heavy with audience participation, so I hope some of you will be around to join in.  It'll be fun!

I may be giving readings, too, but not for the whole day.

dude, i am SO EXCITED for this

[Terry Griffith]

Darn,  I was looking forward to hearing the "Psychic Scenes".  I bet they'd rock.  Songs like, "Going Out Of My Head", "I can See For Miles", "Do You Believe In Magic", "Witchy Woman", "That Old Black Magic", "If You Could Read My Mind". 

I bet this crew could come up with some others.

[April]

Cool... I think I can go too!  I don't know if I can come in costume because I can't do up my corset on my own...

[Countess Westmorland]

April, Bring your corset.  We used to lace one another up at morning meting so I am sure one of us could help you.

I am so excited that everyone is coming.  I hope we can all get there early enough to snag one of the big tables.  We put them together on long rows.  There are some smaller tables along the sides also and it all first come first serve, I can't reserve one for us.  It would be so cool to fill the plce with rennies ingarb.  Shake everyone up.  I know David, the manager, loves us!  And Terry has promised to do Health to the Company.  We can teach a whole new crop of people our tradition!

There's Witchcraft, Love Potion #9, and That Old Black Magic.  How about Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered?  Ooo!  I know!  You Were Always on my Mind!"

Actually, I'm afraid my real act will tank after all of this.  Fortunately I don't follow a musician.  I credit Diane for giving me a good spot in the lineup.

[April]

Countess Westmorland!  That would be awesome!  What time does everyone usually arrive?  It will be my first New Year celebration.

[Fairyfly]

This makes me miss living in Pittsburgh!!!  Have a blast everyone! I miss you guys! *HUGS*

April, I believe it starts at 4.   I don't know when others will arrive.  I know I am coming when Terry gets back from Tonowanda.  He is playing at an Irish Pub there and leaving Sunday AM.  We are usually there every other year in the morning  to decorate but not this year.  But I am hoping to be there by 3:30 to help with last minute things.

I am really getting excited about this.  We need this!

Heather and I may show up at different times due to a game event at the shop (Giant monsters trashing Japanese cities, how cool is that!!).  We, too, are looking forward to this as well.  You can mark down two seats for us.

Thanks

[Sadira]

Rafi, Gimp, Sadira, Sarai and Jaya will be there.
When we told Terry we'd be his back up dancers we weren't kidding. Oh Terry, just you wait and see what we have in store

[Terry Griffith]

This will be the best Samhain ever.  I can't wait.

[Richard de Graeme]

The veil thins, the bone fire roars
With friends and those who walked before.

The wheel has turned the cycle renewed
Oh, good green Earth with life infused.

Go forth from here in coming year,
And tell all with willing ear

The Tribe is multiplied and strong
Those who sing the ancient song.

All Blessings be upon ye, your kith and kin

[Lady Celynn]

Rick, Laurie and I shall be there, and were really looking forward to it.
