Kung Hei Fat Choy…Happy Lunar New Year to all! Many new and exciting things in the works for 2010! The schedule for my Spring/Summer Workshops will be posted soon and I look forward to having you join me in new adventures.
Speaking of adventures…my darling Pyrate Captain and I are soon southward bound to New Orleans for NOLA Pyrate Week . This is something we love being involved in along with our many friends in New Orleans. This year’s 10 day event is shaping up quite nicely and we very excited. So much to see and do and we have some truly amazing talent joining us this year. As per usual however, we still need Volunteers to help rebuild with lowernine.org. This is a grass roots organization that doesn’t get the funding or have STAR power backing it. One of the reasons we feel it is SO important to try and help them make a difference. Of course seeing our friends every year during our trips is also great fun and NOLA is now our “Official” home away from home. There is an amazing vibe in the city unlike any other I’ve experienced. It’s hard to describe the frenetic yet laid back energy there, you somehow just have to experience it to understand. This city captures your heart and it’s friendly vibrant off-beat people are a joy to meet and know. It’s a bit like being at a party for Bacchus. The people, food, drink, architecture, the river & the history all wrapped up in a strange kind of underlying… Magic! Their hospitality is wondrous and the city breathes… ‘Laissez les bon temps rouler‘ Truly a spectacular place that should be experienced in one’s lifetime and we feel blessed each time we are there.
