* Tracy Grammer's birthday and CD release concert at Club Passim with my Lady and fellow coveners. :) Dave's music and poetry were transcendent as expected -- and it's weird to expect transcendence that then delivers, but there you are -- with two musicians and voices. We wondered how it is that Tracy is able to perform some of the more obvious elegies, including the one she herself wrote for Dave, without dissolving into tears. *shiver*

Flower of Avalon shines, but not brightly; it's overproduced. "Preston Miller" survived, but only "Phantom Doll" exceeds with the supporting instruments and arrangement.

* The April Demo.
( April Demo )
At the Parkman Bandstand, 50-75 dedicated Carolingians, including His Excellency jdulac, liamstliam, mermaidlady, lakshmiamman, new_man, learnedax, tpau, pamelina, jducoeur etc., etc.... showed our best and brightest arts martial, creative, and practical to Boston at large. Hundreds of parambulators took fliers and even more stopped to visit guild tables, watch fighting, and participate in dancing. My Lady and I are exhausted and happy.

EDIT:
Special thanks are due to evilnicola, who kept us sane and happy throughout the entire event with relentless good cheer and industrious assistance. Without her help we would surely have perished dead away from loneliness and attention-starvation. What a gal.
