Sweet. If I can make it, I'm totally up for learning that.

I've met Russell. He is a pretty decent Renaissance musician.

I'll be flinging poo at a large canvas.

The idea is to do something ORIGINAL and creative, not just your standard Saturday afternoon.

I will learn nearly any type of dancing!

If I am not in AZ I will be there, with my unsophisticated digital camera and some art supplies. Please note, those art supplies may consist of a coloring book and Crayolas.

My poi have been shipped! :D

Why must all the awesome things happen three days before I'm in town?!?! That kills me. It looks like an awesome time!

A reminder that this Saturday is the awesome event.

Some reminders and odds and ends:
-We have a location reserved in case of inclement weather. It is in the condo complex that houses GD and CP, and may be known by some of you as the site of BlueErica's departing-Southern-California party. Fingers are remaining crossed, but should weather look bad that morning check this space for directions/instructions, etc. And many thanks to the Happy Haunts for their assistance in the planning.
-LSPE and I will have some drinks on hand - probably water and sodas, primarily - and there will be a cake. And you are all welcome to bring anything else you would like to eat or drink in your picnic baskets.*
-There is shade at the location, but not everywhere, so please remember sun protection - sunblock, hats, and clothing. Layered clothing is probably a good idea in case it gets cool or windy, particularly later in the day.
-There are some picnic tables and benches, but the supply is limited. Those who have portable chairs/tables/blankets should probably consider bringing them along.
-When we checked out the location this past weekend, it became clear that it might be necessary for some of you to hunt around the area to find parking, particularly those who are coming later. When we went at about 3 in the afternoon, all parking places near the Old Zoo were taken. There are a number of other places to park in the surrounding area, and anyone can call or text LSPE or I if you should need more directions to the location, either before or after parking.

* Actual baskets optional. Other carrying devices also accepted.

So a checklist of things to bring on the day:
1) Yourself (-selves)
2) Creative supplies
3) Layered clothing
4) Hats and sunblock
5) Desired food and drink
6) Seats, tables, blankets, etc.
7) Creative and celebratory spirit


LSPE and I should be at the location from 10am onward (until dusk, probably), and we are so looking forward to seeing all of you there.
