OMG! <3

Perpetual Ceilidh Award, Tacoma Highland Games
(Given each year to the best of the Ceildh performers)

Fuck yeah, Mudkips!

Red McWilliams, who runs the stage there, made a point of making sure I knew. Thank you so much! <3 Walking onto the grounds today and seeing that on the official plaque? Awesome.

(Annie Henry won in 2008! Hi Annie! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! <3)

I just wish I could’ve played there this weekend, too, but, well, conflicts and bah humbug. Next year, I hope!

Oh hell yeah! Congratulations!

I already had been told in email, but it was still OMG WHAT seeing it walking onto the grounds. They have it on display at an information table near the entrance, and it's all AAAAA WHAT XD

Nothing like seeing something in person. It's not quite real until then.

[solarbird]

Apparently so! Plus: plaque!

Wow, cool!

[solarbird]

It was! I wish I could've stayed to play it again this year too XD but I couldn't, alas.

SO AWESOME!!!

[solarbird]

OMG YES

I AM ON A PLAQUE

PLAAAAAAAAAAAAQUE

(...I guess that's only funny if you've played Portal 2... XD )

Congrats.
I am pleasantly surprised to learn that Tacoma has a Perpetual Ceilidh.

As a session player, I'm left amused by exactly what would power the perpetual machine of a ceilidh since they all seem to end by 11pm

Session? Where do you play? Anna and I play the Terrible Beauty session in Renton on Wednesdays.

[doc-mcdowell.livejournal.com]

I play for the Vashon Celtic Player on it's namesake island most often. On occasion, I'll drop in on Paddy Coyne's in Tacoma, the Owl and Thistle when they don't have sports nights and the private kitchen sessions which dot north Seattle.
I'm embarrassed to say I don't attend them as much as I'd like. I've been busy with Hungarian gypsy and Spanish music projects.
Is the Terrible Beauty the place which was once The Giant's Causeway?

[solarbird]

I don't know! It's this one, if that helps. Anna and I attend every second session right now, as we're new to this type of music and spent alternate Wednesdays at home working on learning tunes. (It's rather traditional. Matt Haverly runs it, if you know him.)
