KCIF 2011 .... Once upon a time!
alasse_fae came down for the weekend to go stalk Gaelic Storm at the Kansas City Irish Fest!
Currently we are enjoying this awesome weather - 75F/24C on my front porch, playing musics to annoy the rap playing music across the way and surfing the interwebs
Awesome time. Even with the rain yesterday. My mum would send a text message warning of the rain - she live just west of the Fest grounds so had good warning :D We'd be able to duck for cover before getting completely soaked. Until waiting for Gaelic Storm when there was very little cover but we - alasse_fae, ms_design_geek, x_greenleaf_x and I - huddled under alasse_fae's jacket while the worse of the storm passed.
Gaelic Storm as always was truly awesome!!!!!! Great Show. I made a banner for the Me & The Moon. If you haven't seen a live show - here's the summary - they split the audience, one side sings the 'I brought the whisky' and the other side sings 'He brought the slight.' Whisky side does 'jazz hands' the light side holds up cellphones or camera flashes or lighters - whatever you got that light. It's to see who is the loudest. Well I can't make very much noise still. I can talk I have a voice and can make tones - but like no projection. So I made banner - christmas wrapping paper folded in half LOL.
We were aiming to be on the light side, but I made the Whisky just in case they changed it up. So when we got to the song & they were splitting the audience and explaining we held up the banner & Twigger actually saw it. For the record I didn't think they'd actually be able to see it.
Twigger 'Hey we even have a banner, hold that back up.'
(only we held it way up for the song)
So I don't care what they say - the Light side won because we had a banner!
We queued up after the show to meet teh band - they signed alasse_fae's shirt in the only dry spot left - and they signed the banner, Peter and Pat sad to see the Light side, until I showed them whisky was on the otherside.
Pat drew on the whisky side.
And that people - is why we love the Gaelic Storm.
Today - shortly ish shall head back over to Fest. There is CD buying to be done - fest food to be eaten - we have not eaten fest food at all - one slice of pizza does not count - and party only down with Scythian, Kila (we have to see them, Gaelic Storm all but fangirled all over them), and The Ancients Elders.
