This month has been a bit crazy, so for my Antonio Pacelli post this month, I am sharing some of the haiku I have previously posted here on WTF. If you have found them here, no point in clicking the link, but if you want to find out what I think about Irish Dance in 5/7/5, take a look at Haiku…You’re Welcome out on the Feis Dad page of Antonio Pacelli.

Shop Update
Just a quick update to let you know that ordering for new Feis Mom Eat, Pay, Drive and Feis Dad Eat, Pay, Drive tshirts is back online. By request, the Feis Mom shirt is available in both the fitted and a regular t styles. I still have some inventory from the first run available and on sale.

Thanks for your patience.
Feis Dads – Extra Strong T-Shirt Design
UPDATE: It is now available for purchase, click here.
I rolled this out to a few dozen people a few weeks ago and it was received really well. So I would like to formerly announce the upcoming release of the Feis Dads – Extra Strong T-Shirt.
Inspired by some old Irish drink labels, in case you can’t tell, Feis Dads Extra Strong is a play on a dad’s ‘typical’ role in Irish dance. The date is based on info I found about when feiseanna became an organized sport.
Dayton Feis 2014, PC/OC Levels Review
The 42nd annual Dayton Feis was held on June 27th, 2014 at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio.
This is the third time I have done the Dayton Feis at Sinclair. Here are the posts about past experiences if you are interested, but its going to sound like what is below ;) In fact, so little has changed, I am copying and pasting sections from last years review where approprite (indented and italicized). Why rewrite history? ;)
Venue
Stages and Seating
The feis was split into three floors of the building. The competitions held on the lowest level in an indoor track and field building, a second floor that had a cafeteria, the tabulation room and where the OC/PC presentations were done, and the top level where results were posted and awards were presented. Lots of stairs so not the best for people with limited mobility, but there were elevators available.
What goes online, stays online…
This morning, while getting caught up on things in my home office, with my ever present social media streams going on the monitor, I saw a well-known dancer who I have always admired post a rather derogatory over-generalization. I won’t say who or what, you can probably find it, and that is the point of this post.
I know people use social media for all kinds of reasons; to praise, to complain, to share, to seek, to buy, and so on. What lots of people seem to forget, or maybe not realize in the first place is, that temporary rant that is on your screen right now, and off it 15 seconds from now, is still out there.
non-feis eat, pay, drive tshirt sighting
The first person to buy a tshirt sent me an awesome picture. Admittedly, it is not the first epd tshirt pic I have received. The first was from a good friend who sent it via FB but I could not retrieve it to post it elsewhere.
This pic however, sets a new standard in epd tshirt appearances. Click the thumbnail for the full view.
Thanks to Jamison for sharing! Enjoy the rest of your vacation. :)
Indianapolis Feis 2014, PC/OC Feis Review
The Indianapolis Feis was held on June 14th, 2014 at the Indiana State Fair Grounds Exposition Center. This is the second time we have attended the Indy Feis, although this year it was held at a new venue.
Venue
This was the first time the feis was at this venue and there are mixed feelings from lots of people on it. It is a fairgrounds building with a concrete floor but it was big and fully enclosed and it was climate controlled, unlike another fair grounds building we all know, but I wont go there right now ;)
A Tribute to Feis Dads, Father’s Day 2014
As I drove home from the Indianapolis Feis, I thought it was about time to write another blog post for my Antonio Pacelli blogging gig. What better than to write a small tribute to the Feis Dad’s out there on their weekend, and why not post it on AP so it can reach a wider audience. Even though the whole world isn’t having Father’s Day this weekend, it is still appropriate since Feis Dad is a 24/7/365 kind of thing.
So, without further ado, go read my Tribute to Irish Dance Dads. And Dads, thanks for all you do and Happy Father’s Day!
FeisNation
Haven’t had a new glossary term since the first one I posted months ago, but my reference to FeisNation in a FB post today prompted a follower to write a little ‘wiki’ on what that means, so without further ado… Hat tip to Karen for the definition :)
FeisNation
Feisnation: (definition) a growing group of the population. In public they appear completely normal other than a having a strange graphic applique on their vehicle that depicts what you think at first is a pole dancer but is actually an Irish Step Dancer in motion.
Well, I screwed up…
I made a mistake. I need a minimum order to get the quick turnaround for my tshirts and I am about 4 – 5 shirts short on each of three designs.
So, extending my order deadline from tonight to tomorrow night (Tuesday, 6/10) at 9pm EST, and if you order a ‘feis mom circle’, ‘irish dance parent circle’ or ‘irish dance sibling circle’ design tshirt from https://whatthefeis.com/eat-pray-love-parody-tshirts/ you can use the coupon code wtfscrewedup for a $3 discount (those designs only).
Looking For What The Feis TShirts?
