Workshop at Captain Amanda’s Sunday, May 31, 2-6 p.m.

Come craft with us at the home of krewe captain Amanda Helm at 7330 Sycamore St.  (map) All skill levels are welcome and all supplies will be provided. These are a great way to connect with other krewe members, get your questions answered, show off your own krewe projects, and bounce ideas. FYI for those with allergies, Lady Jane the cat does live here.

Krewe Social at Oak and Ale Tuesday May 5

Gather for our monthly krewe social on the first Tuesdays of the month, 6-8 p.m. Oak & Ale (8118 Oak St., map) features a wine bar on one side, a beer bar on the other, and a patio in between. Look for us on the patio or inside on the Oak Wine Bar side (look for a krewe jacket or logo hanging on a chair).  Order on your own tab at either (or both!) bars (same food menu on both sides, and one tab works at both bars). Prospective members welcome. Meet other krewe members, ask questions, bounce ideas, show off what you’re working on, or just hang out. https://oakandalenola.com/

Save the Date: June 6, 3-5 p.m., Annual Membership Meeting and Gathering for Full Members

Bring your sword, if you have one! We’ll be sharing some exciting krewe news, starting some fun traditions, and welcoming new members and leaders. This event is open only to “full” aka paying members with active memberships who are eligible to vote. If you have some spare swords people who don’t have swords could borrow, that would also be helpful. We’re meeting at the same place as our usual New Year’s Work Party, St. Andrew’s parish hall at 1031 S. Carrollton, use the side entrance on Zimple Street.

Non-Krewe But Fun Upcoming Events

Volunteers needed for the Krewe info table at the Urban South Mini Ren Fest

We know many krewe members are planning to attend the mini Renaissance Festival. It would be great if we could have some people sign up to take a shift staffing the krewe information table at the mini-Renaissance Festival (in costume please). Sign up here.

Medieval Dancing and Mini Renaissance Fest

Medieval dancing lessons led by instructor “Giddy Up Two Step” Costume required, advance ticket required. We’d love to incorporate more medieval dancing in the krewe, and several krewe members attended one of her recent sessions and had a blast!  She’s offered several sessions in April-June and they’ve been selling out quickly. There are two sessions with a few tickets left ($11):

  • June 10 at Anna’s bar, 7:30-9:30 p.m. (event link, ticket link)
  • June 20 at Urban South Brewery, noon – 1 p.m. (SOLD OUT), during the mini-Renaissance Fest.
  • June 20, Mini Renaissance Fest at Urban South Brewery, free and open to the public, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Costumes encouraged.
