It was 1992. I was living in a roach infested apartment off Riverside Drive in Austin. My brother had left the army and needed a place to stay. For about four months he was living with my roommate Jason and me. We used to live in San Antonio so Sean started visiting his friend Rafael […]

Best of Austin 2005
The Austin Chronicle’s annual Best of Austin Poll covers everything that’s not music. In the best, the Brobdingnagian Bards won “Best Renaissance Men” and “Best Way to Fix Your Computer and Fight Dragons”. There are not quite as many catergories that we are hoping to win, but we have lots of friends who we’d love […]
Ode of Oceanflame Poetry Blog Review
I saw this Ode of Oceanflame Review which made me rather happy. The writer was reviewing literary blogs and seemed fairly pleased with my poetry blog. Description: Celtic Poems written by the Celtic Folk Singer, Marc Gunn. Content: 4 stars Explanation: The poems are all free verse, do not seem to have a flowing rhythm, […]
Tony Winning SPAMALOT Music on a REN FAIRE CD
I first learned about Monty Python in college. One of my friends learned I had not heard of Monty Python’s Holy Grail. They were shocked and dragged me to the Texas Union theatre at the University of Texas to watch the movie. I was a big Dungeons & Dragons fan so I was captivated. They […]
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Review
Yay! I saw Episode 3. Of the Episodes 1-3, this is by far the best. It’s still not nearly as good as the Episodes 4-6. Andrew and I talked about it and I think Sudden Death said it best on his new CD, Die Laughing. “You don’t need a plot you got CGI.” Again, don’t […]
Poetry Book Review of “Bella Filiocht”
I got Bella Filiocht in the mail yesterday, I couldn’t put it down. It’s profound in a word, but to stop there would sell it short. It’s beautiful, and deep, heartfelt and funny, all at once. I read the whole thing before I went to sleep. – Emilee Rush, Oklahoma

Celtic Christian in a Pagan World
It’s tough being a Christian in a pagan world. I know this might sound weird to most Pagans living in a America where the Religious Right runs the government. But that’s really not the world I live in. I live in Austin, Texas. The liberal capitol of Texas. The one place county in Texas that […]

Goddess Dresses, Magic Gardens and Love of Excalibur
Another delightful weekend at faire. The crowds were a bit smaller, but it was much more relaxing and enjoyable for me as I returned to an old tradition–playing for vendors. Our first few years at faire, Andrew and I played almost non-stop. The trick though was to play without cutting into someone else’s show schedule. […]
