Well, as I live right here within 3 miles of the Theatre, I thought I had better prepare to host a Forum get-together, and extend a big Céad míle fáilte to all planning to come to THE HIGH KINGS Concert on 27th September. The previous night, Friday 26th I will be in Cocoa Beach with the IACS for our Irish Beach Weekend. It's one of the highlights of the year for our Irish Club, and I have to be there for part of it. So I will arrive back in Orlando around 2pm Saturday. I would like to meet with other Forum Members at Raglan Road Irish Pub, located in Disney Market Place, for a pre-show get-together and dinner around 4:30pm. http://www.raglanroadirishpub.com/That's the basic outline until I get an idea of numbers. There may be only the six of us, but whether there are 6 or 36 it will be a great time. If you are going to be there, please send me confirmation in a PM from the Forum. That's the only way to be added to the list. This is the list of names so far:
Maggie Ryan and Dave
Rich Ropes and son Chris
Joe and Sarah Hennessy (Maggie's friends)
Sister Kathleen of the CW Sisterhood
Sister Sara
If you need accommodation, there are dozens of hotels close by. One with very reasonable rates especially if you book online, within walking distance of the Theatre is: http://qualityinn-orlando.com/index.htm |

How sweet is that!! Thanks Maggie  If I were coming to this one, I would certainly make arrangements. I really am looking forward to the next round of tour dates now that I am here and maybe being able to make some other shows to get to meet some of you! |

The plan up to now is everybody at Raglan Road around 4pm to 4:30pm.
It's at Disney Marketplace which you can walk around, there is no charge.
There are many cool stores, and it's a good place for people-watching visitors from all over the world.
You might want to get there early. If you get to Raglan Road before me, tell Paul Nolan you are in Maggie's Party.
Because Dave works at the Convention Center, our vehicles have parking stickers, so we can take up to 9 passengers to the Theater location.
I can fit 4 passengers in my Chevy Impala, Dave can fit 5 passengers in the Chevy camper van.
Rich - we have better a/c in it now....and a killer music system. You can even watch THK DVD on the way there. No wait - it will only take us 5 minutes!
You can park your own vehicles safely on the parking lot at:
Wingate Clubhouse, 10722 Gateway Ave Orlando FL 32821, if you want to Google it.
Maggie's B&B is now full. You are welcome to join us for dinner and festivities though.
The more the merrier!

Maggie, maybe you should warn THK's, too!! I know they will remember the forum people from their opening for CW, but to have to face you for an entire show--- they may want to get a bit more rest before it starts. !! LOL

They don't need a warning, they already know....
....and trust me, they are well able to cope.
We already met at the WMFE filming.
We were sitting around talking, laughing and dancing for about 2 hours.
They signed my CD and DVD, but I'm crushed they didn't ask for my autograph!

September can't come soon enough. Raglan Road in KC is good, but I'm betting that the one in Orlando is better and probably has a bigger menu.

Oh how I wish I could be there with you all! It sounds as though this will be a BLAST in Orlando.
I will be in Houston for the show there. I will be driving 5 hours to get there, but I would not trade it for the world!
Please give us reviews and share the meeting at Raglan Road!!!

Timi, Raglan Road Orlando is brilliant - Paul Nolan is from Dublin, with typical Dublin wit (but don't tell him I said so!)
The house musicians are from Ireland, and there is an Irish dancer ex-Riverdance and LOTD.
I have a British friend in Katy TX, near Houston...we exchange Irish music CDs....she wants to go to that concert too. |
