Shenanigan Report 12-27-2026
Dia Dhuit! Fáilte!
Can you tell I'm back to learning more Irish?
Hello and welcome!
I'm going to make this one short and sweet because I'm under some pretty hefty deadlines. Normally, I would just hold off on this, but we have some stuff coming up... one of them happening this evening! So, I'll give you the happenings and let you get on with your Friday.
FROM THE FRONT LINES!
After every event, I'll post a follow-up here. Making it different than the Shenanigan Report because I want to give each event its own space where I can ramble on a bit about them. A couple weeks ago, the Gallowglas Army descended upon Life, the Universe, and Everything. Read all about our epic adventures in From the Front Lines.
SHARED STORY
Speaking of LTUE... I started a new thing where people who came by the table got to add a sentence to a shared story. I had such a good time with it, I'm going to do it at every event from now on.
GALLOWGLAS ARMY JROTC
One of the things bouncing around my head for a long time has been the idea of a special branch of the Gallowglas Army for our younger members. Well, at LTUE I decided to make this a thing. I'm officially starting the Gallowglas Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps! If you're in high school or a college undergrad student, contact me. You'll get access to a special channel in our Discord, attend my classes and workshops for FREE, and once we recruit around a dozen or so, I'll start offering classes just for the next generation of Gallowglas Army!
FINAL FRIDAY SOCIAL HOUR
The last Friday of every month, we'll be gathering on Zoom to share our awesome wins and vent about the slings and arrows flung at us from a cruel world. These go down at 6:30 Pacific Time. Hit me up for the link, or join the Gallowglas Army Discord.
