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: A Party so Wild It Was Remembered in Song FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- August 7, 2001 Brobdingnagian Bards 512.804.0468 Email: http://thebards.net/writeus.shtml http://www.TheBards.net http://www.mp3.com/marcgunn?press 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.
