Old Friends and New Friends
Hello All!
Much fun was had at Charlie's this weekend. I think what I liked best about is that we made a LOT of new friends, and got to see some old and dear ones.
Tee-shirt Girl from St Pats came down, ( she and us separately ended up on the front page of the Stillwater paper that weekend, both for being the ultimate in Irish ) and Mr Trouble, as I call him came, hee-hee and brought two friends from Portland, who, I suspect, from talking with them during the breaks, both were better Trad players than Paul and I. Nice to have met you!
Aleta, a new friend from my girl-band blog ( www.lorraineamalena.com/blogspot ) came brought four of her friends. And of course, Chuck and Judy and Jeremy and Hillary AND of course the Never to be Thwarted AJ. ( who rocks our world. This weekend he told me he had a proposal for me, and I said I liked him but could not possibly marry him, it would never work out, and he said no, no, a proposal for both you and Paul and I said THAT was definately not going to work for me, hee-hee, but it turned out to be a GIG thing..)
There was a Wedding in the hotel on Saturday, and I do not much like wedding people, as they tend to be rather drunk and not into music, but THIS wedding was different, and made the third set rock for me, as they wandered away from their party. Loved them, tho I never did sort out how they were all related. Kept me up half the night.....
There was one group of Friends that came down just as second set ended and so only got to hear the third. I told them they had to show up on time if they wanted to ROCK. The way it most often works is first set, we warm up and play a bit of the mellower dinner type music, getting more rock as we go, it lasts and hour and a half, then second set, THAT is the one. We go an hour and anything can and will happen. Third set is 30 to 40 minutes, and can be fun, and goes anywhere, but it is mostly me thinking , I am really getting tired here!
So, thinking on it, anytime is good, and will be fun, but the earlier you show up, and the longer you stay, the more chance there is of REALLY getting out the Irish in your soul.
Paul and I have been neglecting this blog most shamefully, I do admit, not because we don't want to chat with you, quite the contrary, but he has been doing Things in order to get his PhD (which I am told is a fair amount of work ) and I am beyond busy, and do most of my blogging over at Lorraineamalena.com , you are most welocme over there if you want a more day to day picture of a poor little Irish Folk Rock Stars adventures, we would welcome you!
See you soon!!!!
Love and Irish,
Lorraine

Oooo, a new gig!
What will it be, then?
All I had to do to earn my Evil Scientist PhD was construct a giant laser capable of destroying the Earth and then cackle maniacally throughout the thesis defense panel and hover my finger over the big red button whenever they asked a question.
It will be on Memorial Day, the SUnday 2 weeks from now, only it is going to be Johnny and I , Paul is going up with his family to open the Cabin for the summer....
We need to hear from Paul on this thesis. Sounds like you had the right way to go, Danguy, I don't know why Paul is stressing so much...
Big Breaking News! Dan Guy is coming out for some shows in June! I think the 20th-21st is it? Wheeee-hooo! That will be some fiun
A party in fact. Everyone must come down for those.
Party party party! I can't wait. I will bring a DSLR and magnificent schemes.
Oh. Good. A DSLR. I always thought we needed a One Of Those....
(??)
YES! Hurray for the DSLR! A video would be even better.
Can't come though, time being sparse in this period (although there are loads of holidays too - they are there just to ensure that we don't keel over from the obscene amount of work we have to do in between).
Good luck to Paul, I am sure everything will go fine even without a red button.
I'm still working on a no-muss, self-contained video solution, as they say. I can't believe that there's no product on the market that does exactly what I want to do. It's hard to be an evil genius.
Mobile phone camera?
I would have used mine if it had accepted to talk with Lorraine's computer.
In fact I was silly not to use it anyway: I could always have had the file uploaded on my computer later on.
Speaking of which, I DID take some videos with Paul's camera. Where did these go?
I'm just stopping in to kill some time as I give my thesis defense presentation in 82 minutes. Boy would I like to have one of those big red buttons!
I'm sure it will all go fine and I will attempt to post as soon as possible to let everyone know how it went.
Spacedlaw, I have those videos on my computer here somewhere. I'll dig them out of storage, along with the rest of my life, after I finish this doctor thing.
Dan guy, I look forward to seeing you again, and we should talk about potential video casting ideas as if we can figure it out I could continue to do it from time to time.
Wish me luck!

Best of...
Have fun with it (you might as well since you are there already).
Hugs.
N.
All done! (well, except for the annoying paperwork) I am now a doctor! Hmmm... Me thinks the doors of mischief are beginning to open wide.
Thanks for your support!
I'm going to go collapse somewhere.
-Paul
Congratulations, Paul! -er- Dr. Paul!
Doctor Paul!!!!!!!!!
I find out about this from a phone call from someone else this afternoon and then read it here????
Whhee-oo! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as it does not get in the way of your REAL work....
Congratulations Dr. Paul!
Congratulations Dr Paul...
:)
Have yourself some of that nice whisky before you collapse. It is well deserved.
