Y'all GO!!!
suggestions/ideas (mostly intended for organizers - * are for everyone):
make sure they have all the gas heaters working, and turned on;
make sure they lay in a big supply of firewood for us, and that
the fireplaces have been cleaned and inspected;
use the Mansion;
make sure they have the floor(s) in tiptop shape;
*bring musical instruments, and songbooks/sheets;
*bring warm bedding/clothes to layer;
*bring candles/lamps and matches, and know how to use safely
are Brad and Mecca on this list?...let them know;
*make sure your car has enough gasoline to make it back home,
when you arrive;
*bring bottled water (large container) & maybe(?) a couple-days'
worth of food;
*bring adequate footgear and outerwear (adequate to mud, ice,
slush, rain, or snow, that is);
*bring slippers - also, perhaps, dancing slippers or thick socks
with the toes and heels cut out;
*bring any strange gifts you may have received which you either
do not want or do not need - alternatively/additionally, have a
random gift-exchange circle, where each person brings a wrapped
gift to place on a pile, from which each of us later takes one -
alternatively/additionally, bring as potlatch gifts (not
necessarily wrapped) any items from your house you think are
wonderful/beautiful, but which you do not need/want/enjoy,
yourself;
*check out the Utne Reader site/booklet on Y2K.
At such times, a fire ritual is nice; either fireplace (cozy) or
bonfire (wild energy), perhaps slips of paper with writings of
what we wish transformed?
A dream circle can also be wonderful (particularly in connection
with Authentic)
Ummm, I think the potlatch/gift ideas (above) belong here, too,
but I don't know how to move them down.
Somebody stop me, before I suggest again.............
