ALES & TALES (every Monday!)

[morrowbreeze]

OK, tonites A and T is at a big hill near Frogmorton. On the road that goes by Frogmorton,... face south,...see the tall hill at about 2:00 oclock,... climb it. (West of the hill is the Methel Stage--East side of hill is apple orchard)

[Sindirell]

Bump! Just checking where tonight's will be!

Tonites Ales and Tales is at the Shire housing. OLDFURLONG Hoods. I suspect we gather at the town stage.

Next week it is at the Buckland Ferry! There will be a fish fry! I think its on the Buckland side, but will wait for confirmation.

On behalf of Dringil, I would like to thank the LMB for placing last night's Ale & Tales at the Buckleberry Ferry. It gave him a chance to catch up on his fishing and still hear good music. (The combination fishing pole/ lute didn't work out too well.) The fried fish was delicious, especially combined with Bullroarer's Brew.

Could we have more A&T in fishing zones? Dringil will make some campfire kits so we can cook, if that would help. If only we could find chocolate and marshmallows then it would be perfect....

[Harperelle]

Glad to have you, Dringil! I'm sure we'll be having some more fishing-friendly Ales and Tales in the future. Next week is in Woodhall, however. We'll make sure to have it in Staddle soon for the fishing and fishing vendor.

Scales & Tails - the fishing version of Ales & Tales?

[Harperelle]

Ales and Tales is at the Lonely Mountain Band's neighborhood of Raglan Road. You can find us gathered at the Ales and Tales Inn, at 1 High Street, Raglan, Breeland Homesteads.

It seems that the coming Monday - July 18 - will mark the One Hundredth Ales and Tales! We plan to celebrate this long-running event with a special program at the Green Dragon Inn where it all began.

And then the 2nd anniversary of the show is coming up soon, too!

[Harperelle]

I remember that first Ales and Tales fondly!



It seems so small looking back!

Has is really been two years? Olalie remembers that first one, still. So much has happened since then... *grows pensive*

Thanks to Harperella, Tinki, the vanished Galenswerd, and the rest of the Lonely Mountain Band for faithfully hosting this, making it one of the banner events of Landroval server.

*cheers*

The Ales and Tales Podcast will be launching soon! We hope to record the first episode of this new show for Middle Earth Network Radio after this Monday's 100th Ales and Tales. Locney, Gaiagil, and Lennidhren will host the podcast as a weekly recap of the happenings at A&T and a chance for folks who cannot attend the in game event to hear the performances and join in the fun. It can't happen without the help of the performers, though. Anytime you perform at Ales and Tales from now on, we would love to include your act on the podcast in the following ways:

- For a music act, you can either record yourself playing the song in game (it would not have to be at A&T; you could prerecord this or do it after A&T in some quieter spot...) with FRAPS or another means; or, you can send us the abc files for your song and we can generate a wav from them.
- For a story/poem, you can either record yourself reading it aloud or send us the text and we will read it aloud on the show.

Submissions can be sent to alesandtales@gmail.com. We plan to record the podcast on Tuesdays, so send your submissions in ASAP after the A&T at which you perform them, please!

From Ales&Tales last night,..at Pierson's Farm outside of Bree.


Doing some testing, shooting HD at 60fps with a crowd, and playing back at 30,..looking for a slower feel.

The most successful shots are the when the camera is not moving so much,..gets a bit jerky when I start moving, may need to try stabilizing the film.

Thanks to the Lonely Mountain band for keep this tradition alive!

[morrowbreeze]

Good new way to present the music and dance! i am sure you will find ways to improve the technique! those trees really messed with field of vision though didnt they?
