Where
Britannia Faire, Township Hwy. 81, Jerusalem, OH

   
Oye Ye ! Oye Ye! Come and join us at the Faire for a weekend of PEACE! ....but not Quiet!!

Beat on Something is a gathering for drummers (and Dancers) who wish to hone their skills, learn new rhythms, and explore new bridges between musicians and Dancers.

This retreat is also PERFECT for folks who have NEVER DRUMMED BEFORE!! There will be a class taught on how to make simple and inexpensive drums, as well as intro classes to basic drumming and basic intro to Middle Eastern beats.

Retreat site fee is 20$ for camping, classes (some classes may have an additional materials fee) and feast on Saturn's Eve. A formal event schedule will be forth coming soon. Contact Shanna H on the Tome of Faces or Shae here if you desire to teach a course.

**keep in mind there is no combat scheduled for this event! Weapons will be checked at the gate; and you can pick them up on your way home. The focus will be entirely on performance art, music, and merry making**

Highest hopes you may all attend, HUZZAH !

[Redwycke]

Oye Ye Oye Ye !!! Let it be known throughout the realm...ANY drummers and or Dancers dancers who wish to teach a class at Beat on Something, Need to get in touch with Rap or Schieny on the Brit Faire Face book page ASAP!!!

[Rap the Space Drunk]

Your fact checker should be fired, Scheiny is out of town.

If anyone wants to teach a class, send me a message on facebook to Simon Rap Altschuler, or to Rap@ (the web address in my signature)

Thanks!

[Shae]

The classes are set; the instructors are set; we welcome everyone who would like to come out!

We have around 30 people registered on the book of faces! Only a week and a half to go! Who else is game!?

[Sváva The SpaceWolf]

Yeah, who wants to come have a great time with us?

I've heard rumors this even involves pretty women dancing and good music, how could you want to miss out on that fun?

[Dûrion Silme]

The Knights of Chaos has agreed there is a slim, however possible, chance that myself/Lilith/Sveinn might come out for this. If we do remains to be seen...

[Redwycke]

Hoooray for all of our last minute folks coming out to PArty!!

[Silk]

Sorry folks, we have to lst minute cancel.
To say our move isn't going as planned would be an understatement. It would be foolish of us to take an out of state trip before it's finished. I was really hoping to be settled in by now but we've barely finished cleaning the place up to make it habitable. Between not receiving the keys for three days after signing the lease (and expecting to have access) to having broken glass everywhere from the crew who replaced the windows to the kitchen appliances being dirty (two inches of gross standing water in the dish washer! Yay!) we've hit a lot of delays. We spent most of the week cleaning.

We do still plan on coming to BoFA this summer, and we're not planning any big projects or moves for that time frame so there should be no need to cancel then!

Had a great time at this event. Thanks to everyone who came out, and special thanks to our Viking Lord Elon for helping make our amazing feast possible!
