<div>Okay guys. I'm going to keep the photo theme for now. Again, if you want something different feel free to message me. June is a pretty popular wedding month, right? <br/> <br/>Show me your best Renaissance Wedding Photo! <br/> <br/>It can be from your own wedding or someone else's. You have to have taken the photo (not something you pulled from the net). It doesn't have to be from TRF or anything, just renaissance themed. Submit your photo with "June contest" in the title. Two photo limit per person. And remember... have fun! <br/> <br/>Prize: A rennie ceramic mug. This won't be your average buy-it-from-the-store kind of mug. ;) No pics as it hasn't been made yet!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hey everyone! Sorry I've been gone for so long, but school work this year was killing me! lol. I just wanted to extend a warm welcome to all our new members as well as say "hi" to all our original members. I'm going to really try and keep up with the site a little better. On that note, I'm also looking for a mod for those times I don't have the time to update. Message me if you're interested and I'll let you know the details. The contests will start up again this month, but it -may- be every other month now. We'll test it out.

<div>Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar <br/>Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute <br/> <br/>YOU KNOW YOU WANNA GO TO A FREE CONCERT WITH A RENAISSANCE LUTE!!! <br/> <br/>When: Wednesday, January 30 , 2008 at 8 pm <br/> <br/>Where: A site-specific performance at <br/>The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum <br/>4011 Yupon at Branard, Houston, TX (map) <br/> <br/>Tickets: The concert is free of charge <br/> <br/>Nameless Sound and The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, in cooperation with The Menil Collection, presents: <br/>Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar <br/>Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute <br/> <br/> An artist of starkly contrasting styles, Tetuzi Akiyama gained international recognition as a member of Tokyo's "onkyo" scene of improvisers in the late 1990s. A groundbreaking and highly influential group, the onkyo musicians are known for zen-like subtlety, quietness and a remarkable use of silence. Akiyama's music can have these qualities, but his connections to blues and folk have always been clear. His acoustic performances are delicate, beautiful and expressive, often sounding like an intersection between country blues and traditional Japanese music. <br/> <br/>Jozef van Wissem probably plays the most unlikely instrument in the world of contemporary improvised music: the Renaissance lute. He has accomplished the strange feat of bridging the idiom of seventeenth century lute literature and twenty-first century free improvisation. Van Wissem has largely stayed faithful to the particular timbre, resonance and playing technique of the lute. Van Wissem first came to be noticed a few years ago because of his conceptual approach to Renaissance lute music: he deconstructed existing compositions, for instance, by playing them backwards. He also composed his own pieces for lute, using palindromes and mirrored structures. His music therefore does not have a traditional linear progression, nor does it lead to a climax; rather, it stays at the same level of intensity. His music is quiet. It doesn't so much demand concentrated listening, but it brings the listener into a state of concentrated listening—an aspect that makes Van Wissem a natural partner to Akiyama's zen-like blues. <br/> <br/> <br/>The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum was opened in February 1997. Intimate in scale, the Chapel Museum is the repository in the United States for the only intact Byzantine frescoes in the entire western hemisphere. These masterworks from the 13th century—a dome and an apse—were stolen out of a chapel near Lysi in the Turkish occupied section of Cyprus in the 1980s, cut into pieces and smuggled off the island by thieves prepared to sell them piece by piece. The fresco fragments were rescued from the thieves by The Menil Foundation with the knowledge and approval of the Church of Cyprus, the rightful owner of the frescoes. The Menil Foundation then funded a painstaking two-year restoration of the paintings. Numerous private donors helped fund the construction of the Chapel Museum, which combines rough stone, opaque glass and rich woods to extraordinarily spiritual effect. The Church of Cyprus is allowing a long-term loan of the frescoes in the building designed especially for them by architect François de Menil. <br/> <br/>For more information on The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, go to: <br/>http://www.menil.org/byzantine.html <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>It's been a joy working at Texas Renaissance Festival this year. Exiciting to see many of the performers and musical acts back, and the energy returning. Patron attendance has been exceptional, and from those who attended our shows, many very nice people. <br/> <br/>Sadly, I will not be there for the final 2007 weekend. In my "straight job," such as it is, I conduct scuba diving tours. On Friday morning, I'm scheduled to head off to Indonesia, with a group of 34 adventurous divers. <br/> <br/>The good news for all of you is that we are bringing Terrence Karn back to TRF to sub for me on Thanksgiving weekend. A master percussionist and all around maestro musician, dancer, and artiste, Terrence is one of the finest and most unique entertainers you will ever see. <br/> <br/>If you can, stop by the Gypsy Dance Theatre stage in the Agora and enjoy Terrence at his best, rain or shine.

Experience the rich sounds of live drumming and violin from our friends in Gypsy Dance Theater. Become enthralled by some of their finest dancers as they join us in celebrating the most secret of places - the dancer's dressing room. So bring your zaghareet, grab a nightcap from the bar and join us for this saucy, sexy, and singularly unforgettable performance. Make sure you get a good seat for this one time show at Avant Garden on November 20th at 9:00 p.m., because when the last song ends, the boudoir doors close for good. <br/> <br/>~Nah'na <br/> <br/> <br/>Look for other Nah'na dates and themes at Avant Garden every month! <br/> <br/>Dec. 4th – Not Your Mamma's Hafla, featuring The Tribal Lillies and Tara (her first performance EVER!) <br/> <br/> <br/>Nah'na Belly Dance - http://www.myspace.com/nahnabellydance <br/>Gypsy Dance Theatre - http://www.gdtlive.com</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Glad to report that Gypsy Dance Theatre will once again have the pleasure of performing at Texas Renaissance Festival. This will be our eighth year as a troupe, and my own 29th year performing professionally at TRF. Yikes, how time flies...but it sure has been fun! <br/> <br/>This year will be unique for GDT, as our master drummer, acrobat, and dancer Terrence Karn has moved out of state to accompany his wife Julie Fox as she pursues her MFA in dance at Ohio State. Glad to report that Taras already has a great job in the dance department at Denison College...but we will miss him mightily. It certainly takes more than one man to replace the likes of Terracio, so this year I will be joined in the band by David Anderson and Aaron Hermes. Hope you like our new sound. <br/> <br/>In addition to our original core dancers, Farasha, Kira, Alla, Soraya, and Kareena, we will be introducing a new GDT performer this year. The lovely Katia is the new "baby" in our troupe and we all look forward to incorporating her into our group choreographies, and watching her own solos shine. We also have some special guests lined up included Pangea Beat, Danmar School of Dance and HABDA. <br/> <br/>Finally, after all these years we have produced our first music CD. Entitled "Gypsy Breakfast," it includes Turkish clarinet, Indian bansouri, sitar, a fabulous violinist, vocals, Alla's flying feet, and a world of percussion. So I hope to offer you will have a taste of Gypsy Breakfast sometime soon. <br/> <br/>See you at the Faire... Opa!

<div>Hah! Finally posted on the 1st. This one is for all you body modifiers out there. 'Bod Mod' is getting to be a big part of the Ren scene these days, so.... Show me -your- tattoos, piercings, etc.! The best set of modifications wins a BEAUTIFUL pair of tie-on horns made by my talented sister, Sydney. <br/>**Limit of 3 photo posts per person please. Photo posts can include more than one modification (aka a collage). And, it has to be -you- folks. Not your brother, his wife or their dog. Also, might be better visually if you're in garb for the photos.. hinthint. If you have any other questions, feel free to im me. Contest ends on the last day of this month. So.. Go! <br/> <br/>I'll photos of some of Sydney's work sometime this week, though the pair being given away hasn't been made yet. Everyone who has seen them loves them. A Ren Fair must. She also sells them in case you don't happen to win. ;)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>Okay, sorry about the late start on the contest. This month I'm going to try and switch it up a little... <br/> <br/>Instead of a photo, tell me about your funniest Ren Faire moment. It can be your moment, or something you saw someone else do. Funniest story wins. <br/> <br/>Depending on how many stories we get, it -may- turn into a vote. And while I don't want to limit how much you can write, please try not to post up 2 pages worth! lol... Shorter can be better. And on that note, feel free to post up dirty stories too, as long as they're not too explicit... Just post your entries under this. <br/> <br/>This month's prize is a beautiful, light blue coin scarf (look for the photo) generously provided by Kelly, a student from Sirrom. Thanks Kelly! So get started so we can read those stories!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Well, hold the congratulations, it is not for me ! <br/> <br/>I have a couple of friends who have decided that in '08 they will tie the knot Renaissance -style. <br/> <br/>Figured if there is a good place to look for advice this might be the right spot. So, on behalf of imparting helpful insight to my pals here are the queries: <br/> <br/>Have you or someone you know been married at Texas RenFest? If so, what were the highlights? What do you wish you would have done differently? <br/> <br/>Are you a part of the festival? If so, do you have any insider advice on planning the nuptials? <br/> <br/>Any/all input on the matter will be appreciated. Thanks.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>Okay. I'm not associated with them at all, but www.buycostumes.com is having a pretty good clearance sale right now. It doesn't have the most original costumes for rennies, but right now they're -really- cheap, and they do have some cute things for those of you with kids.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Okay... so I've been a little late with the contests lately. Of course... I didn't exactly get the greatest response the first time around, so let's try this again... <br/> <br/>Submit your best photo of YOURSELF in garb (bellydancing outfits count). Coolest costume wins. The prize is...... I dunno. How about a drawing of you in the garb? Yeah... that'll do. So you get an idea of what I can draw http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/d/o/dow/ <br/> <br/>Contest ends at the end of the month.

<div>Here's the deal: If this tribe breaks a certain number of people... I dunno, say... 50? I'm going to start doing contests here. How's that for incentive to join? lol. They'll be fairly crappy at first... likely the first will be free henna from me. But if I can get a few connections worked out they just might be pretty exciting (I'm thinking free tickets, dicounted clothing, etc.) I need to ask some questions though... <br/> <br/>What kind of contest should it be? Should it be different every month? 3 months? <br/> <br/>Basically you first people who have joined this tribe can steer how this will go. So throw your ideas at me. In fact, this can be the first contest. Best contest idea wins some free henna from me. Go!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/txrenfest">Texas Ren Fests</a> - 3 replies </div>
