So yesterday I participated in the Seattle St.PatParade. I knew I made it onto a couple of news cameras, but a friend of mine called to say that he saw a good deal of me actually. He said something about "...they didn't go right up your kilt, but almost...".

OK, I'm not expecting -- even thinking -- of becoming famous off of piping... but if I did gain publicity, I want it to _not_ be in any sort of Ron Jermy kind of way.


Ahh well -- hey! -- had fun yesterday with the parade. It looked a little bigger this year than it did last year -- more participants and more audience. It was a bit warmer too, which made things far better -- it really bites when you're out in public trying to perform and you can't feel your hands. Got to hang out with some of my friend, saw a pipe band I've never seen before (meant to go talk w/ them but I missed it), got 1-2 offers to join another (local) band (I was flattered, but I'm looking to stay solo -- at least for now). Yeah, nice day. The Irish Heritage Festival at The Seattle Center had the same gusto as always -- sadly though, it was about 1/2 the size of presentation as it usually is. Still, I had a nice time, it was good to be there, and I met some really great folks.
