[Ponte Alto] Mini Tourny, Bardic Circle and A&S Gathering Sunday May 18th at Pimmit Park, Falls Church, Va

[cunian@citlink.net]

The kumihimo braids are really cool and really easy.  You can use  
standard DMC embroidery floss, #25, in the same colors noted.  The #5  
pearl cotton seems a lot harder to find.  There are kits for $3 at the  
Hobby Works where I am dropping Helen off before practice which I can  
pick up for anyone who wants and sends me an email before 8 am Sunday.

>  Bardic Circle Format will be Pick, Pass or Play.  Pick, Pass or  
> Play format has been used ever since I can remember  singing in a  
> bardic circle. This is how it works.  The host of the  circle offers  
> a song and then moves to the next person on the left.   Going around  
> in order, each person has a choice. They can Play,  which means  
> perform: sing, dance, tell a story, or play a tune. They  can Pass,  
> which means pike out, admit to having no voice, or to  shyness, and  
> beg forgiveness. Or they can Pick: choose a song or a  singer they'd  
> like to hear, ask for a story on such-and-such a  topic, or suggest  
> a style of performance they'd like.
>
>  You are welcome to bring picnic goodies to share as well!
