Geek Gamer Morris
Had a fabulous time yesterday.
Anonymous Morris were invited to a small local DIY folk festival. We danced along with a couple of other local sides. (We're slowly getting there on kit, two of us have tatter jackets now)
Listened to some good music.
Anonymous took a break from the sing around sessions to do some gaming in the other bar. I love being part of a morris side where all four dancers sit down to enjoy playing 'Cat in the Sack' and 'Bucket King' and the like.
Then we went back and joined in the ceilidh and generally had a blast.
I think we've gained two more musicians. We'd have had another if he hadn't lived too far away.
And, best news of all, we have a drum. Thanks to our incredibly nice friend Ted, who plays fiddle for us when we're dancing out. Not just any old drum, but a thing of great beauty (in our team colours of black, red and white) with a dragon painted on it. Sold to us for a price that is far less than it's worth.
I now have a drum to play with my tabor pipe - as soon as I successfully learn how to play the pipe...

That is one aspect of why you are awesome: so many people look at something creative and say "I don't know how to do that, it looks so hard" and they don't even try. You just go ahead and say "I don't know how to do that, better learn."
