Austin Celtic Calendar and Meetup
About this time last year, I had this brilliant idea of creating a monthly Celtic calendar and distributing it around Austin so folks in Austin would know when Celtic happenings are happening.

Ceann at Murphy’s in Alexandria
Well, I just back from Murphy’s in Alexandria where I saw Ceann. They are every bit as fun as their tongue-in-cheek CD, Almost Irish.
