February Issue - Hound About Town


with Honeysuckle Rose Loving


Just because the weather's cold doesn't mean you have to hide inside your houses folks! Wow, what a quiet month!

The Hair of the Dog did open this past month, but that's about it! If you're in Iron Forge it's a great place to go for a drink on a Sunday night. Of course, I'm a little bit biased as my brother is the co-owner and I sing there. I like to think if he mixed lousy drinks I'd admit it though!


So, perhaps we should focus on what there is coming up this month. That's got some hopeful prospects!


The Lunar Festival is already in full swing and will be until the 12th of February. For those of you that have yet to experience this celebration, all you have to do is find your local revelers. Hint: head toward the bright shiny lights! They sell fireworks, dumplings, and some lovely clothing. It's also a great time to visit the Moonglade and one of the few times during the year I'm told the druids won't look at you funny for walking the haven's paths.


Don't forget the serious side of this celebration either. You can find elders all across Azeroth, who during this special time of the year are able to make contact and share their wisdom. If you don't like spirits, well...enjoy the fireworks!


The Servitors of Lothar hosted a lovely Moon Viewing Party in honor of the Lunar Festival on February 5th. Maybe some of you have pictures of that you'd like to send in and see printed here! The staff sadly missed the event.


From February 6th to the 12th the Darkmoon Faire will be setting up their tents outside Shattrath City, in Terokkar Forest. The Faire is one of the most interesting places to visit! They have exotic acts and animals, really cheap food and drink, and you can even get shot out of a canon! I haven't gone before, but will definitely be doing so soon and will let you know how how that goes.


February is also a great month to spend time on the relationships in your life, or the relationships you hope to build, with the “Love is in The Air” celebration. From February 6th to 20th The Crown Chemical Company is in town. Collect charm bracelets and trade them for perfumes, chocolates, rose petals, all manner of cute or romantic gifts!


Whatever you choose to do remember to enjoy yourself to the fullest, but stay safe! We'll see you next month!
