Carolinah Regional Gathering

And now for something almost but not quite completely different — PAMalot: The Meaning of Life of Brain, Live at Drury Inn.

Whether your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries, or you simply enjoy a bit of light taunting in an evening, who among us doesn't love the absurdist humour (because it's British) of Monty Python? And when the Regional Gathering Committee members were throwing rocks, darts, and theme ideas for 2025 at each other and someone realized the dates would coincide precisely with the 55.5th anniversary of the premiere of Monty Python's Flying Circus, it all clicked into place like a clicky thing clicking into another clicky thing with a satisfying, um, click.

Join us for a weekend of Pythonesque (it's a real word, look it up) entertainment. You won't be able to swing a dead parrot without hitting a presenter, game, or trivia event. Just don't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

Registration Rates
Full-weekend: $75 through Jan. 31, 2025; $85 from Feb. 1- Feb. 28, 2025; and $95 March 1, 2025 and beyond.
