<DIV>I'm planning on coming, and I'll bet we CAN do that spread again! The Bards pulled it together last time, we can do it this time!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be happy to organize it, and/or contribute to it, if you've already got someone organzing it. So many other people pulled it all together last year, and or course, I can't remember their names.... Please step forward and take a bow!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Would you like us to make a post to our local lists, spreading the word for the party -- er, the competition?</DIV>

I haven't been able to play nearly as much as I did the last time I was Kingdom Bard, and I'm sorry for that. Simple fact is, work is a monster. It's a great job, but it has deadlines and overtime on a moments notice and I'm frequently exhausted these days.<BR>> <BR>> I had one goal as Kingdom Bard this time around, and it may yet still come to fruition in time for Eisteddfod thanks to the generousity of some extremely talented people. I won't mention it right now, don't wanna jinx it.<BR>> <BR>> I doubt I'll be able to play much this upcoming year either. That isn't to say I won't show up every
now and then, it's just that I won't be as active as normal. I'm not leaving, I just have to take it easy on my hobbies right now. You guys are too cute to leave.<BR>> <BR>> Eisteddfod it almost here. The time has come for me to set aside the title of Kingdom Bard, or Premier Bard of Ansteorra. I'm hoping we see the kind of turn out we saw last year. I'd love for you folks to show up and listen, compete, chat, bring new performers, whatever.<BR>> I'll see what I can do to arrange for some refreshments. I doubt I can compete with that fantastic spread we had last year, but I can at least get a coffee brewer going.<BR>> I'm not asking for letters of intent, but who is planning on coming?<BR>> What would you like to see at Eisteddfod?<BR>> <BR>> Anyone?<BR>> <BR>> ~Finnacan<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Bards
