Agreed and Agreed - what a great weekend. Thanks to all the amazing performers and musicians, and to our fantastic hosts....
Sheque, Gecko and I were talking trying to figure out how many years we have been doing this....who knows but I"m so honored to have such a great event to look forward to each year!

Deep and profound love and thanks
to all liberated, illuminated and enlightened citizens
of our free and independent Republic of Darbukastan,
especially to those selfless and heroic partisan comrades
who paved the roads
and petted the goats,
taught the classes,
and entertained the masses
all night long
with dance and song,
kept the power
and the water
and the hot coffee flowing
and the Radio Free Darbukastan
sound system going,
to those who maintained order
and protected our borders
and manned the dam
as the summer typhoon
devoured the moon
and the roads became rivers
and Spirithaven Lake
burst her muddy banks ...
Let us never forget
the heroes of the bloodless
Food Riot of 2009
and the feast of chick peas and black beans that ensued ...
And, as always,
may the light of one million suns
shine on our first dynastic family,
Sheque and Kay and all that share their royal blood!
How I long to once again walk that native soil ...
or shall I say, that native mud?
VIVA DARBUKASTAN!

It was an INCREDIBLE event! This was my first time attending and I can't believe what a fantastic time it was! Thank you to all for participating in that in some way. :)
