Our befuddled masses have immigrated to McGinty's, having realized Annapolis was too small a town to contain our monstrous session. The room we play in now is a bit more like an airplane hangar than a typical Irish pub, but you get used to it after a while. In theory. Tunes start at 8:00 but come by early to have dinner and chat us up a while. Hosted or anchored or what-have-you by Dennis "Doc" Botzer (fiddle agus guitar) and Patrick Cavanagh (banjo). We are idealistic egalitarians, but when neccessary have been known to have a quiet discussion with the odd (quite odd) overzealous cutlery abuser.
Good musicians/friendly folks welcomed with open arms.
Bad musicians/friendly folks welcomed with only-slightly-less-open arms.
Good musicians/unfriendly folks begrudgingly tolerated.
Bad musicians/unfriendly folks politely shown the door.
The session has a website now! -- You'll find recordings of our session (and other sessions too, why not!) and other interesting information, like session etiquette, pictures, session players kind'a profiles etc.

I'm taking a break from my hosting duties for a while. The illustrious C.B. Heinemann is my capable replacement. CB plays bouzouki and guitar and is an incredible singer as well, if you poke him and prod him enough. He promises to maintain session craic levels in the mid-nineties.
