Dearest, your descriptions are so enticing! Such curious practices in the desert. I'll have to go one of these days. I may have to try and see you at Alchemy this year or the next. So many years of friends telling me to get my ass down there. When does it happen?

You should definitely go to Alchemy. Last year there was a circus camp with a full trapeze setup (silks and bars) and they were giving lessons and letting people play on it. You'd have a blast.

It's usually around the last weekend of September/first weekend of October; dates haven't been set for this year but you can keep an eye on the website or just watch for me gabbing about it on here.

Not at the same time as Dragon*Con is it?? Or is Burning Man during Dragon*Con. I want to go to Alchemy this year if I can. Part of my getting back to my traveling roots and visiting friends and such plan for 2010. It would be great to see you! I'll bring my rig ;)

Burning Man is always the week up to and including Labor Day weekend, so there's that conflict with D*Con. I know some people who go to each on alternating years. :)

Definitely go to Alchemy. It'd be great to see you too!
