We're putting on a very cool party just South of Austin, Texas and we are
looking for Ren Faire or Celtic performers who might be interested in
celebrating life with us.

The event is called Lanigan's Ball and it's taking place on the 25th of
August. If you are interested or know someone interested, please drop me a
line and let's tallk.

Below is the press release I sent out about it:

Marc Gunn Releases New "Lanigan's Ball" Single to Celebrate the
Brobdingnagian Bards' Lanigan's Ball party on August 25

Austin, TX -- Marc Gunn has released a new single called
"Lanigan's Ball" to provide a small preview of the events that
will to take place on August 25th when the Brobdingnagian Bards
hold their First Annual Lanigan's Ball. The Ball will be held in
Kyle, Texas and will feature live music from The Bards, plus, a
bar and a roast feast provided by the host, Jeff Kleinman.

Lanigan's Ball is an event conceived by Marc Gunn after listening
to the traditional Irish song, "Lanigan's Ball". "The song tells
about a young man who carelessly blows all his money," Gunn
begins, "He is offered a second chance when his father dies, but
the rash youth does not learn a lesson. Instead, he decides to
throw a huge party. He tells his friends to tell their friends,
and six months later, the Ball is an enormous affair. That
eventually breaks down into a drunken brawl. It's a hilarious
song!"

In December 2000, Gunn introduced the idea to RenFolks, a Texas
based mailing list for Rennies. "The RenFolks loved the idea,"
Gunn says, "but it wasn't until this summer that I was able to
find a place to hold the party, and Jeff has really done a
fantastic job at getting this thing rolling."

Jeff Kleinman, known at faires as The Captain, is a long-time fan
of the Brobdingnagian Bards and chief organizer of the event.

"If we have enough people preregistered, we'll have a lamb roast
as the main part of the feast." Kleinman says. "Plus, we'll have
plenty of alcohol including a bar, and lots of great music,
especially the Brobdingnagian Bards. They put on the best live
show I've seen at any faire!"

Lanigan's Ball will take place in Kyle, Texas from August 24-26.
The live music will begin on the afternoon of the 25th. For more
