It might be the season end of Coffee and Pub Songs, but I have a LOT planned for the coming month. There's a couple new songs, new album pins, and a couple new videos to share. Read more about it below.
PROMO TIP OF THE MONTH
Post a comment and respond to others comments.
Social media relies on engagement. Not just like Likes, but actual engagement. So if there is a discussion on a post, then more people will see it.
ALBUM PINS
These were a huge success at another convention making up half of my sales. I'm finishing up a Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits design that will be released in time for Gen Con. There might even be another I do first!
KICKSTARTER DELAYED
I REALLY hoped to complete creation of this Kickstarter. But I ran out of time. Instead, I'm gonna launch the campaign in August for Gen Con.

COFFEE SEASON 10 FINALE
There are just two more official Coffee with The Celtfather shows. This Wednesday is a May the Fourth Be With You show. I'll take your song requests and play at least one Star Wars Drinking song. But keep an eye on May 18 too. I'm releasing a video on YouTube at 11 am, the usual Coffee show time, which features some live performances from Sherwood Forest Faire.
If you want to watch the show in August, make sure you subscribe on Patreon.
PUB SONGS & STORIES CHANGES
Pub Songs & Stories is changing too. I'm releasing only one episode a month on the public feed, starting this month. The season will finish up with the June release. It'll return in August, once a month, with bonus episodes available exclusively for Patrons in the Gunn Runners Club on Patreon.
Sign up for as little as $1 per month if you want to get these Pub Stories.
