Looks like a real good line-up for head staff & drums.

Awww Ki...I miss seeing you this year. Since I didn't know the line up, I made plans to attend something else on behalf of work so I'm flying out to Washington D.C. that Sunday. I'll have to catch up with you another time! Have fun for me!

[ndneyez]

Hey Bux!! OMG it's been a minute since I saw you last. You girls better make it up for U of M. I miss hangin out with ya! We'll definitely have a blast if you come. Missed out last year cause I was sick as dawg (dang bronchitus)!! This year will be better for me (crosses fingers)!!!

Anyway, come hang out with me!! I miss you ladies!!

Glad they finally posted the info, but we had already decided not to go. I just got back from federal contract administration training in Washington DC, we were there a full week, and me and my baby are wiped out. It's been 14 years since I was at U of M powwow and I was looking forward to it, but it's not realistic to try and go this year. Hope everyone has a great time and posts the results.

With an attitude like that, it's probably a good idea to stay home.

There's always Denver.
