TIS A "BLOOMIN’ CELEBRATION!"
Tallahassee Irish Society Celebrates James Joyce’s Ulysses
Tallahassee Irish Society (TIS) plans to celebrate legendary literary genius James Joyce’s Ulysses on Bloom’s Day, 7 pm, Saturday, June 16 at Adrien’s Café at the Progressive Center, 1720 S. Gadsden Street, Tallahassee. The occasion is the second of the "In Praise of the Spoken Word" series. Prizes will be given for the best circa 1904 Dublin costumes. Bloom’s Day is a BYOB event and there is a $5 cover charge for the evening.
Joyce’s masterful novel covers a day in the life of Leonard Bloom in Dublin in 1904. The inexhaustible richness of Joyce’s writing has endured and is part of the proud legacy of Irish literary tradition. Music, recitations a skit or two will round off the celebrations a wee bit later than the traditional Dublin "Bloom’s Day pub crawl," as the country’s time is five hours ahead of ours. But all are welcome to hoist a glass of Guinness to the genius of Joyce. Local Irish band "Paddy Go Easy" will provide musical interludes.
