well one thing for dancers and singers/drummers is to bring their stuff to the pow wow. that would be a major OOPS! to say the least.

One time I forgot my beadwork under my chair at a powwow. The next day I freaked cuz it was gone and felt really bad, almost crying, then that nice man Kiwehnzii found it and brought it back to me. Probably what made me feel so bad was cuz it was new mocs for my 2 yo grandbaby.
Thanks again Kiwhnzii! Another time I was at a powwow, danced all weekend and on the last day the committee told me that I was wearing my number upside down. Geez! My number was something like 1609 or something, so now I always check to see that the number is right side up. :Chatter Funny thing too was that when I went back the following year, the lady that registered me said, I remember you, you danced with your number upside down last year! Dumb, but funny!! :Chatter |

Eat if hungry, or use the sanican if necessary, BEFORE they hand me a flag and say, "Stand here". "Dance here". "Stand here". "Put the flag here". "Stand here". "Introduce yourself". "Stand here". "Listen to speeches". "Stand here". "Shake hands". "Stand here". "Shake more hands". "Stand over there". "Dance here again". "Have a baseball hat". "Stand here". "Watch them dance". "Stand here". "Shake these other hands".
As a Veteran it's an honor to have all this happen but OMG when you're starvin' and yer back teeth are floatin' man-o-man .... then to get to the portapotty and find something like a softserve sculpture protruding 4" above the rim is just disappointing.

1. Forget the drumsticks back at the hotel.
2. Tryin to make Drum Roll call. 3. Forget the lyrics to a song you just learned 4. Forget to stop on time, and go over beat 5. Forget the name of that fancy shawl dancer you snagged last night 6. Lose your card key to your room. 7. Drink all night and morning and forget that you have drumroll call early. 8. forget to turn the cold air off and wake up with a sore throat. 9 and 10 can wait
