I would like to personally thank everyone who attended the meeting for coming and helping to make our club better…
There was a lot of discussion about going to other rendezvous, not as a club for demonstrating but rather as individuals, with the exception of Klondike Days.
I too am planning on going to a few I haven’t visited in many years..not to demonstrate, but to have fun and see some friends I haven’t seen in a coon’s age and maybe meet new ones. That’s all I got for now pilgrim……
The event is obviously over by now. A good time was had at this, our last official event of the year. No pressure to have competitions, good food and Good music (in my opinion), Smurf and I pretty much held the floor for most of the weekend, but were joined off and on by others. The weather, although slightly wet at times, co-operated with a tolerable atmosphere for the most part. I do miss the member participation that we had here the first year of the blog (and forum), before facebook became our social meeting place.
Well the Fall event is up and running, we hope to see some new faces and old ones too…
For the rest of the folks who will not be here we hope you have a safe and fair weathered weekend…see ya next week.

Probably the most popular & well known Indian symbol. Known as the seed bringer and water sprinkler. A common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. His image is found many times in petrography art. He is a personage who is honored as a kachina by most Pueblo cultures. He is associated with fertility, the male principal, biology, and the significance of guarding seeds. Usually depicted as old, bent under his heavy load with his flute. He travels to many communities, impregnating young women who are mesmerised from the notes played on his flute. Related to the cricket or locust whose natural music is associated with the state of humidity and seasonal weather. Many bawdy stories of his various exploits have been told. As a kachina doll, he is made with a staff, not a flute and is carved as a hunchbacked. His likeness also featured exaggerated male sexual organs until the missionaries came in the 1930′s, who frowned on this practice. Today he is considered the ambassador of the Southwest.
2011 Spring Event was a enjoyable time for all. My good friend Ynot was able to join us this spring and the weather cooperated for the most part. No major problems or drama, just a group of friends having a wonderful time!
It came to my attention that the song previously uploaded to you tube was marked “private” so I uploaded another version of this song for all to enjoy…
