It was our first time to Spirithaven and my wife and I were made to feel at home immediately. The energy was great, the music and drumming was awesome, and the concentration of talent and skill was unbelievable. And the people... the PEOPLE! I never once got a clique-y vibe from anybody, everyone was generous and kind - there were just all around "good people" to be found everywhere. My wife and I just want to say mega-thanks to Sheque and Kay and everyone else who helped to put on such a great event and make such an awesome happening happen! I saw so much pitching in and helping out that I felt sort of like a bum... I guess there's always next year, eh? :D Oh, and Geoff's prose is as captivating and on-point as ever! (BTW, I'm still waiting for the rest of the your KID epic to be published at some point... hahaha!)

Thanks to everyone for another great event! It is amazing how every year you think that last year can't be topped but it always is. I always feel lost when the event is over and today has been a tough day for me. Thank you all for making such a thing possible and I can't wait until it happens again!

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!
