All Snakes Day II web page is now live! Buttons are now in, and you can hear us on WNKU Saturday nights.

The All Snakes Day web page is up! Go to the lefthand blog column and click to go there live!!! The schedule is there so you can begin planning. And a vendor form is available so that you can send in your vendor registrations. There is also a Hafla sign up page for the dancers who would like to perform at the opening gala on Friday evening.

Also, the "Hey Pat, We're Back" snake buttons are hot off the presses. If you'd like to have yours mailed send $2.50(button plus tax and shipping) made out to Susan Hergert, c/o the Faerie Realm. Or... call TFR and ask them to put yours on your CC!

Thanks a bunch to DJ, Jeff Menke, of WNKU who featured TR Ruddick and Patrick McMahon on his "Rainbow Bridge" radio show last night (this morning?) at 12:30. He featured the Snakes Rising: Dance! CD and played "Rompi" after talking about TR on vocals and mandocello. Then he played "Gypsy Fire"... featuring the "virtuoso" harmonica playing of Patrick. Very nice!!! Good mention of the blog, the Faerie Realm and the ASD event as well!!!

Can't wait for next week's foray into local music!!!!


Happy Hissing.

New Years Eve Reflections

How to sum up the New Years Eve festivities?

We found Randy and Angie to be fulfilling and reliable percussionists, and we're eagerly looking forward to their future contributions. We also were joined for much of the evening by Nicole Aimee, who appears as guest vocalist on our 2nd cd, and she gave our sound some new dimensions to explore.

Tantra Heart provided warm hospitality, and Dick and Antionette Asimus took us deeply into our spirits through their leadership of the trance dancing and the ritual of the six senses. Even the food for the potluck was inspiring!

We thank all who helped us to give the new year a wonderous beginning.
