Washington D.C.

Yeah the humidity's pretty bad over there but the powwow will be in the MCI Center, nice and air conditioned

You should go anyway, would be cool to meet you. .

Yeah it would be cool to meet! We'll see tho. I don't know how busy I will be with work at that time. I'll start getting my feelers out on getting some arrangements lol

my whole family went except for mee.. they did pretty good selling worldclass beadwork. overall everyone had a good trip. i definiately heard about this afterwards.

well anyways august is a hard month to break into the powwow scene. you have to go big or dont bother soo i guess thats the deal with the head staff and drums. theres alot of nice pw's in august. theres crow fair, shakopee, schmitzun just to mention a few. i think dc is gonna be nice pw to add to the already impressive lineup.
it would be nice if this turned into some kind of gathering of nations powwow, *i think* and spike draper as head man dancer that should be a nice special sat night..!!

Thing that made me mad about that old timer passing away, was with all the government buildings and National Park officers around, no one had a defibrillator. It only took 20 or 30 minutes for an ambulance too.

Anyone come out for the powwow on the national mall a few years ago? I think this one will definitely top that!

I was at that Mall powwow, it was awesome but yeah it was hot muggy and dusty. The first powwow was cool except for one grand entry they had the women traditional dance in behind the fancy dancers....... Holey that dust was horrible!!!

Really sad about the elder too and glad they moved it into the MCI Center.

I just got the email flyer yesterday, sooo, damn it sure looks good, hmm, first annuals are always tricky though huh?
But I imagine the money is there and a crowd will be there for sure so it makes me wonder if I should sling some real good old fashion Traditional Frybread at the crowds there and clean up with a few grand or so, hmmm. I may go, still got friends, family and a landlord in Arlington, VA. hmm. *L*

I really wanna go especially since I missed the grand opening of the museum.

It's gonna be wicked.

[katezninen]
