#NipclubExtra Robert Burns Night

Burns Night at #NipclubExtra
January 25, 2025
12 noon to 2 AM EST | 5 PM to 7 AM GMT

In bonnie Scotland, Burns Nicht celebrations ur held o'er th' land oan th' 25th o' January. Often, thae events consist o' a tea 'n' a cèilidh, a traditional scots dance – 'n' extremely fin bit exhausting!

Th' tea, or "Burns Supper" traditionally consists o' whit's said tae hae bin Rabbie Burns' ma fave fairn: haggis, neeps 'n' tatties. Haggis is a traditional fairn o' scootlund, made fae sheep´s hert, liver 'n' pipes, as weel as oatmeal 'n' plenty o' seasoning 'n' spices. Despite th' a wee bit unappealing sound 'n' keek o' it, haggis tastes absolutely magic, think o' it as a crumbly link catch up wi' wi' a peppery flavour! ah loue it! Th' haggis is sae central tae a burns supper, it even receives a special toast at th' oncom o' th' meal referred tae as "Addressing th' Haggis". It's classically served wi' mashed turnips ("neeps") 'n' mashed potatoes, or tatties as we lik' tae ca' thaim 'ere.

Jyne #nipclubextra as we celebrate burns nicht wi' a cèilidh 'n' a traditional supper.

Our bartenders wull be servin' Scots foods 'n' th' DJs wull git ye jiggin. See ye thare!

Address to a Haggis

by Robert Burns

Fair fa' ur honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o'the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

Robert Burns
From The Complete Poems and Songs of Robert Burns (Gresham, 2000).
First printed in The Caledonian Mercury in 1786

#NipclubExtra Renaissance Faire Oct. 26

Hark, noble kin, who come from far and wide!
Since days of old, in twenty-ten we’ve met,
To raise our gold for creatures in our care.
If thou art new, come seek the #Nipclub blog,
And read of all our deeds, both grand and bold.

Once more we sound the horn for merriment,
#NipclubExtra calls all lords and dames.
In October’s crisp and gentle air, we meet
Upon the twenty-sixth of this fair month,
To don our robes of knights and queens alike,
And host a RenFaire pawty most divine!
At Noon EDT, till 2AM, we stay,
On Twitter/X, a realm where joy holds sway.
Our silks and armor shining, we shall show,
In contests for the grandest sight below.
