Yes, it's that time of year again. A time to celebrate the coming of summer. A time to prepare for the arrival of a film festival. And a time to pretend to be a fairy. It's May Day!
Here in Seattle, our Folklore organization is putting together a traditional May Day signing & dancing event at Gas Works Park. At 6am. Sorry, way too early for me. They claimed they'd be dancing around May Poles in different parts of the city throughout the day today, however.
Last night, we went to a concert given by Slighe nan Gaidheal. Great music, most all in Gaelic. Afterwards, there was a ceilidh at someone's house, complete with food, Scotch, and more music. Nice to spend the coming of summer listening to centuries-old music and songs.
