St Patrick's Day Festivities
Yesterday was St Patrick's Day. In honour of this festive occasion, and also due to opportune coincidence with a recording of an interview and song, the Bards of a Feather put on a show. A friend and I were interviewed for the podcast in the link above, and although I think we were both pretty nervous, some interesting stuff came out of it. It was very exciting to have 9 Bards turn up to perform for the recording, as it was the most we've had performing at any one time. With so many people to get coordinated, I think we did alright at smooth transitions between songs, although it gets increasingly challenging the more people there are. We tend to have wonderful audiences who partake in general revelry during and between our songs, and last night was certainly no exception! We started the party in the Shire, moving along to the Guardsmen of the Free Peoples' kin yard, then onward to a great secluded area near Trestlebridge, before winding up in Bree. It was kind of a small tour, but at the major town hubs (Michel Delving and Bree), we had some pretty cool audiences. We like to play the music for our own enjoyment, but it really enhances the experience to find that what you are doing is being enjoyed by others also.

About Me
- Anacredenza
- Anacredenza is a screen name I made up back when I first joined a debate forum. At that time, I was just about finished figuring out what my beliefs are, and the name, which means 'renewed belief' reflects that. I cannot claim to know everything (not even remotely close!), but I'm now comfortable with what I believe, which I discovered were my deep, though covered-up, thoughts all along, and have therefore been renewed. I may be right, or I may be wrong, but at least now I'm being true to myself. After figuring this out, I went back and talked with people who hold beliefs that I used to share, to test my new (and old) thoughts on the matter. After several years of that, I am much more comfortable with what I believe. I don't care very much about what other people believe any more, as long as they don't use their beliefs to justify harming other people. That said, I care a great deal about how people come to their conclusions - thorough, critical thinking skills are important, and if more people just knew how to think, the whole world could be a much less hostile place.
