Very much with you on the need for more bardic, Lady Eleanor.  There's no
such thing as too much bardic!

At Lughnasad, I am planning on opening up my pavilion to any who wish to
stop by for refreshment and spontaneous bouts of bardic activity throughout
the weekend.  I'm hijacking the idea from some friends in Caid who have had
great success with their "Open Arms Bardic Hall."  If there are enough
people interested on Friday evening, a gathering there would be a lovely way
to start the weekend off right.  I will post more details as the time draws
nearer, but now's as good a time as any to say that everyone is welcome!
I've been entertaining this idea for awhile, and if it winds up having any
appeal at all, I would be happy to do it semi-regularly.
