I agree...the tides food was better. It was very good last night, but The Tides is just exceptional.
Didn't I eat Ramius's share?
The concert was just pennywhistle heaven. I swear, I thought my face would crack in two, I smiled so much. It really was an awesome experience. I'm considering becoming a bone fide groupie.
At one point, the lead whistle player, Kevin Crawford, bumped the table with all his whistles and flutes on it. OT and I were RIGHT by that table...about 4 rows back...and I believe we all three nearly had a heart attack! His very expensive flutes and whistles nearly rolled off the table and he caught them with his hip! Spilled water all over the table and floor.
They were also selling whistles at the CD table and they were Chieftans...beautiful whistles...but biggun's. D and G whistles with Lunasa stamped on it. Only $160! Yowch!
Anyway...we were doing ok, then about mid-show a person whom OT described as "Artsy-Fartsy" sat down beside us and was a real "Lookit me!" type. It was ok, because she bellowed out at one point "Tell us about your instruments" and that Kevin guy went into some detail about his flute. So that was ok. The guitar guy sat down for that! LOL!
Got home around 11pm and I made the pre-waffle batter. Went to bed fairly exhausted.
Now we're off to the festival...I have my camera THIS time! Becky is coming over this evening and we'll post some pictures then.
The jedis have gone camping for today and tomorrow.
See you later!

Glad you had a good time... I think we would have all liked pictures of you two stuffing your faces, but we'll just have to imagine it :~)
