While I'm still reeling from what I considered awesome news about the Pirate Gathering's room, I now have to figure out what all we're going to be doing with this huge space. I don't have a time yet. Last year, we began at 11:00pm (start time was actually 11:30pm but FMB made us start earlier) so the chances are good it will start around the same time.
So far, I have asked 1 band if they would consider playing for us and 2 more have asked if they can play as well. Of course all bands have to be approved by DragonCon before they can play and entertain us.
The Virginia Reel was a huge hit last year so the plan is to have time allotted for this, both earlier into the Party and then again after all the live music is finished, it can continue.
So, is there anything you guys would like to do/see/partake in at this year's Gathering? What did you enjoy from last year? All suggestions will be considered.
You may or may not have known that DragonCon held a staff meeting yesterday. Unfortunately, I could not attend myself. My good friends and Tolkien Track Staff Members
I want to thank everyone that volunteered to help out for the Pirate Party! It looks like we filled what we needed on the very first volunteer post, that's awesome!
There is a staff meeting on Sunday. While I myself will not be in attendance (Ren Fest duties, otherwise, I'd so be there!) I do have a good friend who will be attending in my stead and being my voice. We're hoping to get some times/dates/locations nailed down so we can really begin planning this sucker. As soon as I hear something, I'll pass it on immediately!
