From Faire to Con and Back Again!

What’s up with Marc Gunn this week? Well, Marc has just recently returned home from the Texas Hill Country!  For the past two weekends, he has been  at the Sherwood Forest Fair, where he jammed with Cedric of the Bedlam Bards playing Firefly Drinking Songs, music inspired by Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Serenity (you can find the CD of […]

Happy Mardi Gras!–and all that (Celtic) jazz…

Today, in select locations, revelry prevails.  In New Orleans, my home town, there is eating, drinking, and merriment (more than usual), beads, occasional nudity, temporary insanity, and a general festive mood.  Meanwhile, in other parts of the country (like Texas, where I am now), it is just another day.  But we can still be a […]
