Karl Gallagher and Laura Gallagher both used to do small Renaissance faires in the Southern California area for several years. In fact, that's one of the main ways we got to know each other. We both played 16th century Irish characters. Karl was known as Kevin O'Gallagher (and still is in the SCA), and Laura played Keely Alanna O'Lalor. Kevin is an Irishman of a misty background with a low sense of humor. Keely was usually seen at faire spinning wool or other fibers, when not chasing after Brendan.

Dawn, aka Acacia Brewer, also works the small faire circuit, with Hounds Haven. Karl and Laura have attended a faire with them as guests.

Our time at faire included some wonderful stories and gigs, many of which we will relate to you here - some with pictures. So click here for:
The Tale of the Leprechaun

The Tale of the Sheep Gig (Now with pictures!)

The Rope Gig A story from Ojai faire

• Fresno City College faire (in spite of the weather)
• Tulare Faire (really in spite of the weather. If you ask us nicely, we'll show you the "I survived the Tulare Renaissance Tornado Fest 1998" t-shirts)
• San Luis Obispo faire - with Hounds Haven
• Santa Barbara Renaissance Faire - Lake Cachuma - Sept. 19-20

While we're not doing any faires at this point, we are having a lot of fun in the SCA. We hope you'll look for us there and come visit with us in our pavilion.
