You might also want to search for 'Weston' or 'O'Malley's' on the board here. There have been several posts, some with cool pictures.

I'm taking my whistle, so follow the horrible screaching sound and introduce yourself. :P

Hope to see y'all there!!! :thumbsup:

I wish I could be there. Here's a picture of the lowest level of O'Malley's. I'm in the picture with light shorts and a sort of purple T-shirt. It was taken at the first Zoukfest.

Hey Serpent -

I can relate! I'll probably do the I-fest on Sat. and the Renfest Sunday 9(or, vicy-versy).

It's interesting that you ask why we couldn't wait....

We only last year convinced Sean (O'Malley) to re-schedule the I-fest, because every other previous year he had it the same weekend as Winfield!

I've always had to choose one or the other.

SHEESH is right :roll:

p.s. - I can also relate to the 'carting teens around' -
I have three (all girls) :really:

I'll be dropping by, most likely on Saturday, but I have out of town guests in so I'll most likely not be armed with flute or whistle since I want to play the good host. I'm a Tom Dahill junkie, have been since 88, and we're definitely going to hear him play. Anything else will be a bonus for me, though, since my 5 year old and my 13 year old god daughter will be there and might not want to listen to 6 hours of Irish music in a row.

Does anyone know if you get your hand stamped or something so you can leave the festival area and come back in? That would be cool.

I've rearranged my schedule so it looks like I can be there on Saturday. Any idea of how some of us could find each other to meet in person. I'll be carrying either a pack or a leather computer case with some of my whistles and a flute in it. I plan to get there before 11 AM on Saturday.

Hey Jim (and anyone else who might be in Weston Saturday) - I'm going to take my whistle and when it can be tootled without distracting the 'real' musicians will just... whistle (I do pretty well with Donneybrook Fair, Lord Inchin, Kesh Jig, The Home Ruler, Inisheeer, The Fairie Child) so just listen for me. I'll do the same if you are inclined to play. 8) 8) 8)

Another more circuitous route:

Ask where is Sean (as in O'Malley, our host) I'm sure he'll be flowin' the Guiness at one booth or another, and ask him to point out LEE, (the one he knows who lives in Weston) He'll say: "You see that drunk over there with the whistle - that's him". :P

I think also every now and again I'll just walk through the crowd with my Gen D nickle (very shiney) held up in the air.

I hope some of us can latch up, but if not: ENJOY!!! :party:
