Where and when is it?

For those of us who don't know...

Well, you know I am going. Last year, the fire show and the hookah tent were both really cool. I am definitely up for Pirate Bellydance- combining two loves of my life.

I wish I could go, I soooo totally want to learn poi spinning. :-(

Awwww yeah, TribO take 2. My husband and I went last year and had such a blast, that even with the financial downturn of my quitting my job and going back to school, we'll find the money to go to TribOriginal again. We're in on the group, as are Ee-Set and Aurelia, and many others from up north.

Bring warm stuff. Lots of it. A good sleeping bag and a blanket or two, plus warm jammies. Lots of work-out clothes, in layers. Water water water. Other drinks, too - they weren't able to sell alcohol last year, so bring your own if you want it. Most people do. Snacks, too, although the food is plentiful at meals, and sticks with you for a while (still haven't lost the weight from those stinkin' desserts), so you probably won't need to hit the snack pile too much.

If you watch the Baraka Mundi tribe (those folks who put TribeO together), tribes.tribe.net/barakamundi
they generally put out a packing list before the event. In fact, just go look through their old posts and you'll probably find last year's.

Um, the low down from last year. Hmmm. The classes are awesome, although they can get a bit crowded if they're held in the smaller venues. There's only one big one room, but there are usually multiple classes (four, as Karnsy said) going on at the same time all around the grounds, so if the class you're interested in is in one of the smaller rooms, you may be practicing your collision-avoidance technique. But hey, it's an intimate setting, right? Ask around during the weekend to see who is impressed by which teachers and try to take those classes especially.

Take money for the vendor's tent, but I'm asking everyone right now to keep me well away from it. I don't need any more costume pieces, and I don't have the money for them, so DON'T let me look! Thanks in advance to anyone willing to keep me honest.

And now I will try to continue my regularly scheduled day without getting too goofy over the prospect of going to TribO. Both Ee-Set and I were all dumb in class last night because of it... :-)
