A Yuletide Toast! *raises her coffee cup* To all my friends who attended Winterfest this year!
Here's to all the Bands! To those who played for us! Great performances throughout the weekend! There was a whole lot of effort put into all those sets, and it showed. We loved your music, antics, and lyrics! Thank you for entertaining us all!
Here's to the audience! To those who danced, and cheered, and set off fireworks! You make Middle-earth Musicians feel like rock stars. It was great seeing so many of you! The jokes, the banter, the hugs and kisses, were all the warmth we needed. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful Music Community!
Here's to all my kinnies in Second Breakfast! You make this all look easy. To those who herded the cats and spoke on behalf of the bands! To those who cooked and prepped, and handed out goodies! To those who made announcements in the midst of the brutality that is World Chat! To those who offered ports! And to those who came and hung out with us all! Thank you so very, very much for your help in all this. <3 you all!
Here's to our surprise Streamers! Teedeegrowl and Eviluer recorded the whole thing, so you can look up bands you missed, or watch your own set again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And here's to Drummor, who started the whole thing. Blame Drummor. No. Really. Pester him and tell him we'd love to have him around more often. We began Winterfest by dedicating this years Winterfest to the grumpy dwarf. So, yeah. Here's to Drummor, former Leader of Second Breakfast, creator and Band Leader of the Dulcet Tones, creator of Winterfest! Thank you, my bearded friend!
