    Many Anemones!

    September 17, 2005 - By 

    Hey, Kevin!! If you’re still lurking about, I uploaded pictures of many anemones (and other things) to Flickr just now. It’s weird that I didn’t take any photos of you all when we were at the house earlier that week, though. I think I was in “decompress” mode that day. This image was sent from Flickr as a blog entry, email or cameraphone image. Via: Flickr Title: Many More Anemones! By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 18 Sep ’05, 1.09am PST

    The McDades: The Most Amazing Celtic Fusion I’ve Ever Heard

    September 17, 2005 - By 

    Oh, my GOD!! This Canadian band, The McDades, played at the Chicago Celtic Fest earlier today. This crappy cameraphone image does not do them justice. The music they play is just… so assured and totally off the scale (not the musical one, the incredibly ****in’ cool one). As you can probably tell, I pretty much took pictures with my cameraphone all day, but this is the only one that I really regret is not a much better quality image (okay, the one of Buckingham Fountain could be a little better, too). I’ll be getting a better cameraphone in a few…

    Inside The Harp (Not Beer) Tent

    September 17, 2005 - By 

    These guys were pretty good at the end – they went off the rails into Celtic jazz on their last piece, very fast and very dramatic. The harper broke a string and played on as if the Devil himself was goading him. After the big finish he leaned over into the mike and announced “Thank you. And yes, it was the G string that broke,” to an even bigger round of applause. This image was sent from Flickr as a blog entry, email or cameraphone image.

    Uileann Pipes Tent

    These guys (didn’t catch the group’s name) were pretty good, but not quite up to the level of play we heard in Seattle from the Irish Piper’s Club. Still, they were good and the fiddlin’ women did great on the one song we heard. This image was sent from Flickr as a blog entry, email or cameraphone image.
