A few weeks ago I posted a mini-rant on Facebook about courtesy. With all the responses, I thought maybe it would be a good subject for my next blog post as Feis Dad on Antonio Pacelli. See Don’t Forget Your Manners and post your thoughts either there or here.
Our recent move up to PC (like how I said ‘our’, I really mean TGC 😉 ) I have had a hard time trying to capture review info for the entire feis. I guess I was grade specific before this though, so the tides have turned. Anyway, some WTF followers have graciously submitted their thoughts […]
Note: Since our ‘promotion’ to PC, my reviews have been more focused on the nuances of the new level, and I have not captured much info on the other levels. Looking for volunteers interested in helping me remedy that by adding grade level review info the the feis review. Thanks. The North Coast Feis was held on February […]
With a new feis season upon us, I thought it might be a good idea to remind everyone about feis safety. My latest post as Feis Dad on Antonio Pacelli is a recap of what I blogged about in August here on WTF. Take a minute and refresh your memory about making sure that F.E.I.S – […]
Jeff Foxworthy may have the Rednecks pegged, but I think I have created a pretty good Irish Dance Parent checklist. My second post as Feis Dad on the Antonio Pacelli website, take a look at You Might Be An Irish Dance Parent and let me know what you think 🙂
My first ‘real’ post out on Antonio Pacelli on the subject of being an Irish dance parent is what I call ‘The Top 10 Responsibilities of Being an Irish Dance Parent’ which you can find in its entirety at https://www.antoniopacelli.com/community/article/the-top-10-responsibilities-of-being-an-irish-dance-parent. If you have a minute, give it a read. I would love to hear your thoughts! […]
A number of months ago, Antonio Pacelli contacted me about blogging for them. To be honest, I had no idea who Antonio Pacelli was and thought it was a hoax, I mean, what does an Italian man know about Irish dance? After a bit of research I found it was indeed not a hoax, and […]
We had the opportunity to spend a little time in Naperville after the Chicago Autumn Feis and I wanted to mention a few places that may be worth a visit if you are a food fan. Quigley’s Irish Pub Quigley’s is on Jefferson, pretty much in downtown Naperville. It is a nice place and has […]
The 11th Annual Chicago Autumn Feis was held on Saturday, November 9, 2013 at the North Central College in Naperville, IL. This is the second time I have attended this feis, the last when it was held back to back with the Prairie State Feis at Ho-Chunk back in 2011. I liked that venue better 😉 Venue The […]
The 1st Annual American Pride Feis was held on November 2, 2013 at the Embassy Suites Nashville – South/Cool Springs in Franklin, Tennessee. Venue – From a hotel standpoint, it was great. For a feis venue, um, not so much, sorry. Not really a big fan of hotels as feis venues and this one was no exception. The […]
