ALES & TALES (every Monday!)

[Feonnah]

Next week its time to get lost in the old forest and find Goldberry's Spring! Security will be provided from Adso's camp for visiting low level characters. Feel free to wander your way by any path--via Barrow Downs, Buckland, or Bree-land. Its a wonderful opportunity to RP being lost in the woods, and possibly running into others seeking the same goal.

Stories and songs emphasizing the mystery and ethereal qualities of elves and of Faery are encouraged.

This sounds fun... I love the Old Forest! I would love to play "Fairy Story" if time permits!

[Harperelle]

Sadly, I won't be able to make it to this Ales and Tales. Silly me, I had forgotten that it is also my RL anniversary! So I'll be wining and dining while you are all making merry in the woods. Take lots of screenshots and writeups, because I was dearly looking forward to Goldberry's Spring.

--Harperella

P.S. Now I'll just have to schedule an Ales and Tales at another of my favorite spots...

Happy anniversary, Mistress Harperella! It's far more important to take care of your life's partner, after all, than to attend some light entertainment.

I totally didn't fall asleep and miss it... I didn't, I swear!
I'll try to come next week.

This week Ales & Tales at Goldberry's Spring was truely amazing. There were around 60 people in attendance!! The music and story telling was excellent as usual. Dovie Harper played for us as we gathered in advance at Adso's camp (you know I love Dovie's performances) and Fionnuala told us of a fine Elvish legend (how can you not love these wonderful stories). As the crowd gathered at Goldberry's Spring, even this backwoods boy stuttered and stammered his way through a tale from Dale.

[Harperelle]

So sad I missed this one! See you next week at the Plough and Stars... Or maybe I won't--plans are still being formulated for RL adventuring that weekend.

Tinki Kicked up her heels all nite long. She had 3 volunteers to pass out the ale and smoke, Baarru, Grebe, and the lovely Arabesque!

Many campfires were started and the dance area was pretty tight what with all the crowd. Goldberry seemed pretty tranquil throughout the event, so that must mean she liked it,..right?

[Aquamarine518]

Post-it note is ready, I will be there

[Fionnuala]

I was in the Blue Lady's Grotto the other day on an alt and thought to myself what a wonderful place it would be for an Ales and Tales. Lo and behold, the Blue Lady's Grotto is there on the schedule for July 26th! Great minds think alike.

I hope to be there tonight with another tale.

[lowah]

I'm so sad I missed last weeks so I'm so excited for The Plough and Stars tonight!

[Aquamarine518]

I got there waaaaaaaaaay too early, hehe

[Elessar2007]

Wish I could join you tonight but have a stupid School Board Meeting. Bah!

Have fun!

[Aquamarine518]

It was great! I'm glad Hireldal could join everyone.

[lowah]

Last night was so much fun. I really enjoyed the poems, music, and stories. I also learned to be very careful when betting and to be wary of rich, handsome men....with Aunts. :P

[Einarr]

Loved A&T last night at the Plough and Stars!!

I posted the story I told about losing my eye and finding a husband on my My.Lotro blog. I also posted a report on the night's festivities.

Lunnas story was riveting! I didnt think a happy ending would be possible, but it was! Whew. Tinki will stay single thank you.

Tinki and Baarru worked hard to ensure all had thier ale and smoke.
The proprietor of the inn was furious when he learned Tinki was undercutting his business though. She did some smooth talking and dealing with him and all was affable again. Two delicious Honeybrews can calm mighty storms it seems.

Thanks to Rohanwood, Leanndra, Meribuc, Thodolir for the ales, and Tarenthare and Malornwyn for the smoke!

It seems we are getting 60 plus at each meeting nowadays.

That was one fine story Lunnae shared with us, and the MAJOR work performed by Fionnuala was a serious step up in intensity of music for the event. Now we just need to pay some attention to our future performance spaces so we have just a bit more room for dancing. (can you tell I just learned a whole bunch of new dance steps, lol)

Oh btw Gari, I did set off all or the fireworks you passed on to me, though it was a challenge what with the main event being held indoors. Some got used during the preparty gathering and the rest just outside the entrance as guests left at the end of the event.

[Fionnuala]

and the MAJOR work performed by Fionnuala was a serious step up in intensity of music for the event.

Goodness. The music was just several random Renaissance Lute pieces I've transcribed. The story I worked hard on. :P But I apologize for its length. I didn't intend it to be so long when I started writing it.

Honestly, I thought it was so fabulous that it didn't seem so long. Also, having the music playing during the tale made it even more enjoyable

[Aquamarine518]

I wonder where next week's will be. /think

[Harperelle]

So sorry I couldn't make it last night! Just got back from a camping trip and had a business trip in the morning. Here's looking at you all next week at the Breeland Fairgrounds!
