Actually, on at least one of the nights that I stopped by House
Blackstar, I started out walking around the lake the long way, looking
for bardic circles and ended up at your place after circling the lake
having not found any bardic circles or other entertainment.


I do draw a distinction between ME dancers and bardic circles. They

don't co-exist very well and, at least locally, the former tend to
have driven off the latter. I miss being able to drop in on small
bardic fires or vice-versa with wandering bards. They were much, much
more common ten or twelve years ago.
