Normally the yoga studio is a shoe-free space. If you need shoes, consider wearing shocks over your shoes.

Please bring a folding chair as seating is limited. Also, bring some water or a non-alcoholic beverage to wet your whistle. Please kindly observe the no-smoking policy for the benefit of the singers. Everyone who comes will have a chance to sing. Any song that is Irish, Scottish, or otherwise Celtic will do. Songs tend to be solo round-robin, but singalongs are great too; bring lyrics to pass around if you'd like. A cappella singing is preferred in the Irish tradition. Just bring your voice. You may also bring a guitar or other instrument if you prefer to accompany yourself. # Wednesday, July 5, 2006 Austin Celtic Association board meeting ***MOVED TO THURSDAY, JUNE 29*** # Sunday, July 9, 2006 Craobh Thir na gCnoc (Gaelic League of Austin) meeting Mother Egan's Irish Pub 715 West 6th Street Austin, TX 512-431-6290 3 - 4 PM http://www.austingaelicleague.com/ # Tuesday, July 11, 2006 Scottish Society of San Antonio Monthly board meeting Covenant Presbyterian Church Roleta Drive San Antonio, TX 7 PM http://www.scottishsociety-sa.org/ # Thursday, July 13, 2006 The Harp and Shamrock Society of Texas Beethoven Home (off of South Alamo) San Antonio, TX Phone 210-656-2666 for information http://www.harpandshamrock.org/ ************************************************ EVENTS IN EAST TEXAS, MISSISSIPPI, AND LOUISIANA ************************************************ # Saturday, July 1, 2006 Constant Billy Bayou City Farmers' Market 3000 Richmond @ Eastside (in the parking lot behind the building) Houston, TX 9 - 11 AM http://www.constantbilly.com/ # Wednesday, July 5, 2006 Emily and the Occasional Musicians McGonigel's Mucky Duck Pub 2425 Norfolk Houston, TX 713/528-5999 7 - 9 PM Tune session starts at 9 PM.
