You are all invited to attend The First Annual Clan MacColin Family Reunion at
the Loch Prado (Prado Regional Park) Camp Grounds on the 29th of February
through to March 2nd. This will be a pre-registration for both MacColin as
well as REC. In addition to various paperwork stuff, we will also offer several
workshops, games, the Highland Chef cooking competion, Drunken Kern Obstacle
course, and the latest word from Himself. This event will be somewhat chilly so
it will not be a period event due to lack of period cold weather gear. This
being said, we ask and encourage you to dress out if you can. If nothing else
bring your stuff so you can work on it, get advice, approval, etc. As I said
before, the Chief will do notes there as well. the cost will be $7.00 for parking
for the weekend and i think $3.00 for day parking, as well as a modest $5.00 to
the MacColin. I will also remind you that this will be a potluck event.
There will be 2 fire pits and possibly running water and electricity. I need to
come up with a head count ASAP, so please email me or post on this thread. I
look forward to hearing from all of you soon. Check the
MacColin Messageboard-MSN

Celtic & Historical music show with Simon Spalding in San Pedro Jan 20 & 21
Simon Spalding, long a member of this group but resident in North Carolina for
some years, will be back in town next week for a show of sea shanties, Celtic,
and historical music. He will be playing as a duo with James Hendricks, whose
specialty is 19th Century and Civil War music, but who also plays ragtime and
early popular music. Simon plays fiddle, octave mandolin, ukulele, banjo, and
Chinese er-hu; James plays piano, button accordion, percussion, and brass
instruments. They'll be harmonizing and playing on material from both of their
repertoires, so even if you've heard them before this show will be a new
experience.
Venue is the Whale & Ale in San Pedro, 327 West 7th Street - shows are 20 and 21
January, Thursday and Friday. Admission is $7.00 - good food and a wide
selection of beers, whiskeys, and other libations are available. Phone
310-832-0363 for a table reservation and request a good view so you are not in
Siberia - not all tables have a good view of the stage.

This is a period event.
Things to remember! This is not Faire, your behavior will be different because you audience will be different. We are being judged in a variety of mysterious categories by unknown judges. In general our guests will ask more engaged and generally better informed questions, and they will stay for a more complete answer. I expect you will respond in 1st person, in dialect as well as you are able. If you are unable to answer at this level, don't bs an answer, look for a senior member an pretend that your "inglis" is not up to the job. A hackle or a feather, or whom ever you think can answer. If it becomes necessary for you to move out side of 1st person to give a complete answer, do so, but make at least a symbolic attempt to physically distance your self from your character by announcing that you are going to do so. This can be done best by "please sir if you would step this way, " On this I must speak privily." asking them to follow and by really move away. another method Announce discretely as before and lower your volume and try to use the same rhythm you use in 1st person but deal with the subject in a modern way. And lastly, if you must deal with a danger or something requiring an immediate answer, use your normal modern tone and structure and speak clearly. and as loudly as the situation requires.
Your appearance and the correctness of that appearance is also very important. Get all the gewgaws off you costume, present your self in you best clothes, in there best condition. don't be afraid of the iron. Everything should be mended and clean, If it shines polish it, if it is leather oil it, if metal, de rust it. These are laudable things to be working on in public. repair it. If you are using borrowed items, bring them up to snuff to the best of your ability. Be clean and mended. Be available, there will be duty rosters. We have a variety of parade like duties, as well as operating the camp.
Check in with your senior concerning what supplies to bring, I know that often fire wood is needed, as well as water. All for now. more later.

dessert (Tipsy Laird or Dark Chocolate Mousse), and more bad poetry.
Then dinner (standing rib roast, roasted potatoes, vegetable), and
more bad poetry; then soup and more bad poetry; then appetizers,

Setup & Deco:
Set up will start at 7:00 pm Friday evening. We need help setting up the

done is directly correlated to the number of helpful bodies available. So
if you want Hog to be pretty plan on showing up! The hall will open at 10
am on Saturday to finish setup.
Pot Luck:
MacColin members are asked to bring a food dish to feed 12 people. When
deciding what to bring take a look at what other people are already
bringing so we don't double up. There is usually a excess of desserts,

to bring a serving dish & utensil for your item.

Your milage may vary. Dressing up funny is an intrinsically dangerous
activity. Be sure to read and follow all safely instruction. One pill

A gathering for as many purposes as we can muster.
Personas in particular are on the agenda --- bring any and all questions, but be prepared to do your own research and development.
Woodworking is highly likely, furniture specifically. Bring your projects and tools.
Anything else you want to know about? Anything you feel you can contribute? Let us know.
POTLUCK and BYOBeverage (please do not impose on your kinfolk), and if you bring raw meat, there will be a BBQ available.
Also, we'd like this to be a productive event. It has been kindly requested by your kin that if all you're going to do is distract people with idle conversation and keep them from being productive, feel free to occupy yourself elsewhere.

- Ragnarok --
"The world will end in 100 days": Ragnarok - the Viking Apocalypse -
predicted for 22 February 2014:
http://www.sourcewire.com/news/80556/the-world-will-end-in-days-ragnarok-the-viking
The sound of an ancient horn heard reverberating across the rooftops
of York this evening is a portent of doom and the beginning of a
countdown to the Norse apocalypse, according to experts in Norse
mythology from the JORVIK Viking Centre. “Following a study published
in 2010* that bearded men are more trustworthy than those without,
we’re also looking for fantastic displays of facial hair, so that we
can identify those with the potential to take us into the brave new
world that is foretold to follow Ragnarok.”

Greetings. The Colin wishes to invite all members of the Clan, both North

Colin's advancing years, we cannot be sure how many more there will be
here at the Clann's home. I must apologize for the lateness of this
invitation but both myself & my wife have developed a severe case of
manyanaism and it seems to get worse with age. The Colin.
