Beltane World Boss Sacrifices, Sat Apr 29 1800 GMT

Hey all! It's time for Beltaine, the traditional Celtic start of summer just like Samhain is the start of winter. We're going to sacrifice some world bosses on Saturday April 29th for good luck for the summer. I'm told we have 9 bosses: 2 New England, 4 Egypt, 3 Transylvania. So come join us for bloodletting for the favor of Celtic gods. Afterwards we can hang out at the bonfire at Norma Creed's house. Everybody can dance to their own music or something, or I can just jaw about Celtic lore.

Here's the blurb I originally wrote for this:

Beltane 2017!
Saturday April 29th
Come help banish the season of darkness and usher in the light of summer! We'll be sacrificing world bosses for luck, then dancing in the blazing light of the biggest bonfire! We'll start the bloodletting across the Secret World at 1800 GMT then going to Norma Creed's at Kingsmouth for the party. Wear green and bring flowers! Come join us and may the Tuatha dé Danann (Too-ya de Day-nun) shed favor on you all summer long! Sponsored by Nine Swords, DJ Drina and Happy Tentacle Radio.

We've now confirmed DJ will happen, thanks Drina! Also, check out Happy Tentacle Radio's gigs that weekend! They start at 5 pm ET Saturday and 4 pm ET Sunday and go all evening. Never been to one of their shows but they've got so many dj's you know they've been working on this for awhile. Will confirm soon exactly what time zone they mean by 'ET'.

Indicate interest for being in rotation for the summon team below.

1. Durendal
2. Katelin
3. Yuriksha
4. Aberlour
5. Ishco
6. Saunabath
7.
et al

EDIT: Put in more flavor.
EDIT 2: Changed title to 'Beltane' since I don't say anything about May Eve. Beltane is May 1st (just as Samhain is November 1st). so May Eve is to Beltane as Halloween is to Samhain. Just so you know.
EDIT 3: Updated because we've gotten DJ Drina on board with us. Thanks!

Updated OP to reflect DJ Drina is going to be on with us. Also it has been proposed that we do some trivia questions to give away boss loot. I hope we get some good drops to give out! It can be argued that it's considered unlucky to give or lend anything (since a witch could use the object against you), but you know, this isn't actually May Eve or Beltane and why let details get in the way of a good time? Any good lore-hounds out there who can help with the trivia questions?
