Hello Everyone,

We wanted to get the word out, after we've been telling people that we would be
playing at
McGonigel's Mucky Duck on February 21st, that we will NOT be there on the 21st. 
The Duck
double booked the date, and we got bumped.  We are trying to get another date
lined up, and
will let you know as soon as we find out.  For those of you in Texas, please
help us get the
word out.  We just finished the weekend at Dickens on the Strand in Galveston,
and we were
telling people there that we would be at the Duck on the 21st.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  I can honestly say that this one is not our fault,
though.  Thanks
for your support, and we hope to see you at the Duck, whenever that will be.  We
are NOT
performing at the  Duck for St. Patrick's Day, so our show, when we get it
scheduled, will be
the only opportunity to see The Rogues in Houston in the near future.

Just a heads up, we will be performing at the North Texas Irish Festival this
year, March 6-8,
in Dallas.

Sarita just called me so that I could hear the guys at Dickens on the
Strand. I recorded a snippet and will post later. This is a fun thing
to do.

FREE WHISKI…

Masquerading as ‘mild mannered’ celtic musicians, Rodger Harrison, Garren Bagely and Deanna Smith Scotland live ordinary normal lives. But every now and then they slip into a VW mini-bus, and become…(insert dramatic music here)… FREE WHISKI. Playing the songs they grew up with from bands like CSN&Y, The Eagles, Janis Joplin, as well as newer bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, Free Whiski has been amazing audiences all over North Texas with their hot guitars, powerful vocals, soaring harmonies and feats of super human strength.

Hi Folks,

Just a short note to let you know that Free Whiski will be playing at The Tipperary Inn in Dallas.

Deanna and the boys could really use all of their friends to come out and make this a fabulous gig.

Free Whiski will be performing from 9pm to 1am

The Tipperary Inn

5815 Live Oak St
Dallas, TX  75214-7310
(214) 821-6500

The Tipperary Inn is nestled on the corner of Live Oak Street and

Skillman a couple of blocks away from the Lower Greenville Avenue area.

Saturday, Dec 06, Free Whiski, 9:00 P.M. - 1:00 A.M.

Thanks

Craig Scotland

Is anyone else going? The show starts at 8pm and will probably be done
about 10:30ish. www.enterthehaggis.com For directions go to
www.jamminjava.com. It's a right turn and 5 traffic lights from where I
live. WOOHOO.

Now if only The Rogues would play there! Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks,
Karen

Good grief! I heard that they are noisy. They had to use them for the
expansion of the Woodrow Wilson bridge. We seem to have a reprieve
from jack hammering today. They start at 7:30 and leave around 1:30.
The fun part for me is moving meetings to other conference rooms.
BTW, they were suppose to have the front walkway done over the
weekend, but someone stole the air compressor.

Happy Pumpkin Pie day to you and everyone else. I need to puree some
pumpkin tonight.

BTW, looks like I won't be at Dickens on the Strand this year. If I
win the Mega Millions tonight, then I will be there. Maybe next year.

The Rogues are helping drown out most of the jackhammers going on at my
work, but I still hear/feel them. I'm using my iPod.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

For those of you in reach of the Texas Renaissance Festival, there will be a
Rogues reunion
of sorts, as part of the Clan MacClugh reunion this weekend, November 15 & 16. 
Randy,
Bryan, Jimmy and Lars will be playing, and sometimes joined by EJ when he can. 
Saturday
will be without Jimmy until the evening, but Sunday will be all four.

The performances will be in front of the Cloisters stage, which is is in
Sherwood Forest where
the carillon (the bells) play.  The show times are 10:00, 12:00 and 2:00, and
probably a lane
show in front of the Sea Devil Tavern  before the Fireworks.

Sorry for the late notice, but please pass the word around.  Hope to see you all
this weekend.

Hello Everyone,

For those of you who were wondering if Galveston, TX would recover in
time for Dickens on
the Strand, the answer is YES.  We will be appearing as usual, with a
few stage shows and
street shows.  Look for us in front of Murphy's Pub on 22nd between
Strand and Mechanic
streets.  The pub may not be open, however, as they were flooded
during the storm.

We are asking people to come out in droves to help Galveston recover
from their worst
hurricane in many years.  To help out, The Rogues are performing free
of charge to the
festival.

We hope to see everyone there on December 6 & 7.  Please help us get
the word out by
forwarding this on to your friends who are not on our e-group.

Thanks in advance for helping Galveston recover.  For more information
go to http://www.galveston.com/dickensonthestrand/

Ok, early this am I went to have blood withdrawn (6 viles) to see if
I'm a match for a 10 year old girl with Acute Lymphoblastical Leukemia.
Waited for an hour and 15 minutes and then it took 30 minutes to get
the blood out of me;-) (My blood doesn't like to leave me) The sad part
is when it was my turn, they didn't say Karen Stevenson, they said 0-
7444-4331-0. If you know someone who needs to have a bone marrow
transplant, please give them this number. Talk about feeling like a
number! I teased the woman who called me to the back area. I will find
out in about 8 weeks to see if I'm a good match. Cross fingers that I
am!

It was only 112 days (July 9th) from the time I registered (swabbing
cheeks) to getting a call (October 29th-aka Mom's birthday) that I'm
a "potential donor". I hope that in reading this other people will
register. I have the "potential" of saving this girl's life!

Blessings,

I got this from another one of my yahoo groups. In an ironic twist, I
got a call from the National Marrow Donor Program (NMPP) today. I'm a
possible match for a 10 year old girl with Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia. I go for blood work Monday morning.

Hope to see some of you there. It's on Crownsville Road between faire
and the American Legion (for those who attended Deakstock II-which
was fabulous once again).

Thanks,
Karen

Ok, so week 7 was a little insane for me. I was dealing with a
plugged left ear and allergies. Also my house mate and his daughter
came to faire for the first time. It was really funny because they
kept stopping and looking at everything. I did manage to corral them
to the Rogues first show. I was also recruited to video the start of
the Green Men March on Sunday. Other then that I know I was there and
in an allergy fog. German music for October fest. Packed Parking
lot!!! Sarita got to hear closing cannon over my cell phone as I sat
to get out of the parking lot.

Week 8:
I managed to be there for opening cannon for only the 2nd time this
year. Doug and Lyric were here and at one point were only playing one
bagpipe. Too funny guys! Melody(aka The Rogues web mistress) and her
husband were at faire. I called Melody on her cell. She said "it's
Karen". I said I see you. She looks right "your looking the wrong
way" turns around "hi there".

Sunday I got to be a "substitute" CD seller for The Rogues for the
first time. I was standing on the rocks for Jenesse. It was funny
when Nelson was saying all of the CD sellers names and then suddenly
looked up and saw me. "and Karen" (saying questioningly). Classic
moment.

Week 9 preview:
It was announced that Corey will be here this weekend. YEAH, this
made Sarita's day. There will be 5 Rogues playing this weekend.
Randy, Nelson, Jimmy, Lyric and Corey. This should be fun.

Deakstock II will be happening this Saturday night at 8pm. I have the
priviledge of helping out that night and making 2 pies. One for
auction and one for eating. I think $5 a piece (used this word since
it has PIE in it) is a reasonable price for a benefit;-)

Tom and Sarita are SO READY to be here! They just got hot water
yesterday (or was it Sunday).

Preparing for the craziness of final weekend;-0
Karen

Hope you have a wonderful day and that you enjoyed your pumpkin pie.

Karen

Hugs to Tom and Sarita!!!!

It took two weeks to get power back on in Pasadena, and yeah we were
doing the generator thing, too.

I hope you get your generator back/replaced and the police find those
nasty (add lots of ugly words here) scum rats.

MUDFEST 2008 occurred this past weekend! Sunday was horrible with the
mud. I thought was going to loose my sneaker to the mud. Otherwise it
was another fun weekend. Allie, Jenesse and Steve's daughter,
celebrated her 7th birthday on Sunday. Saturday evening Maria's
fiance, Lyric and another guy sang "the pumpkin pie" song. I just
might have to put it on YouTube!

On Sunday the 6:15 show was a little late. The Rogues did 3 songs and
then Doug walks over to me and says "If it's ok, we (Lyric and Doug)
are going to change in the back seat of your car". I said it was ok.
They did another song and then the 3 of us bolted from the Dragon Inn
so that we could leave by 7. I had to tell them to slow down a couple
of times (due to mud) and I'm about a foot shorter.

I took a short cut just in case there was traffic and so that D&L
wouldn't flash anyone;-) I was playing Free Bird and I think they
were changed about half way through the song. They liked my music.
The funny part was when one song came on and in 3 notes they knew it
was Aerosmith. They seemed a little surprised that I had "i don't
want to miss a thing" on the CD. I've only got 20 years on them <G>.
I did tell them that I was going to post about this as it was just
too funny. Doug asked if anyone ever changed in my back seat before.
I told him it was a first. I found 60 cents when I got home. Must
have been when the kilts went over their heads. LOL.

We called Tom and Sarita on the way. I can't wait for them to be here
final weekend! They had their generator stolen the other night. They
filed a police report. Hope they catch the Rat B*st*rds!

Hopefully my cold will be gone before the weekend. It's October fest
weekend. Oom Pah Pah. What is a bartender's favorite music? Polka
because it has lots of hops. If you did or didn't like that write to
Dear Brother Barwick, Hengrave Hall MDRF.

Later,
Karen
