MONDAY 31 May @ 6pm: Crap Mariner 100 Word Anniversary!
Five years ago, Crap Mariner swore a solemn oath to write a 100 word story every day until the day he dies.
Since he's not dead yet, the writing and storytelling keeps rolling along.
Monday May 31, 2010 marks the fifth anniversary of that oath, so we shall gather at the West of Ireland Library to look back at some of the best (and worst) stories of this pernicious half-decade of keeping it brief.
Should you miss this event, you can always go to the archives at http://podcasting.isfullofcrap.com/ to read the stories on your own, suffer horrific nightmares, and then participate in the latest Weekly Challenge.
Presented Live in Voice.
MONDAY, May 31st at 7:30pm - Part II of "Ella Enchanted"
Following Crap Mariner's Celebration (with a brief interlude for the removal of exploding sheep parts) we will pick up the trail of Ella of Frell . . . sent of to finishing school with horrible Hattie and awful Olive.Come and find out how Ella has a near fatal encounter with ogres, and is reunited with Char (Prince Charmont) on her way to a wedding where she hopes to plead her case with the Fairy Lucinda to remove the curse of obedience from her. Seem confusing? That's why it's called adventure!

Join Gina for the beloved tale of Jonathan Livingston Seagull!
It is within us all, to use our wings (our strengths) for basic function, or to stretch beyond form, seeking enlightenment and purpose. Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a parable of simple profundity – a bird, a seagull, who chose a path of discovery, relishing the splendor and joy found in pursuit of higher performance, higher awareness, and higher meaning; a triumphant tale giving goose bumps – even if you’ve heard it a hundred times before! Story in voice.

Caledonia at Magicland tonight at 6:30pm

Grey and ghostly shadows are gliding through the brake,
Shadows of the dappled deer, dreaming of the morn,
Dreaming of a shadowy man that winds a shadowy horn.
Caledonia shares some adventures of Jolly Robin and his merry band of men who famously redistribute wealth, combat oppression, and right injustices in old Nottingham.
Presented Live in Voice and benefits War Child North America.
Grey and ghostly shadows are gliding through the brake,
Shadows of the dappled deer, dreaming of the morn,
Dreaming of a shadowy man that winds a shadowy horn.
"Robin Hood is here again: all his merry thieves
Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves,
Calling as he used to call, faint and far away,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day."
