For Tribal Revolutions; this event just seems to get better and better. I had a wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting new ones, dancing in the hafla, taking classes and the show Saturday night was incredible.
The line-up for next year makes me wish we didn't have to wait so long. Thanks again from a fan!

Re: Thanks to the Loti....
Mon, June 23, 2008 - 7:42 AMThanks to all of YOU who came out and supported the event!! After all, if nobody came, all we'd be left with is a series of very expensive private lessons! Everyone was just awesome.
I'd also like to give a special shout-out to our team of volunteers who made this the easiest Tribal Rev yet!! Muchas gracias to my student troupe--Lotus Bloom, Neta and Jatare of Hipnotic, the purple-haired Sarah, Kelly "don't eff with this punk gypsy" Holder, Lieze, who not only worked but kept my ass quite happy, Elizabeth, the Quad City cookie, and anyone else who swooped in to help out!!
How about Gaiananda for not only providing dinner entertainment, but also live music during the shows and the after parties!! Y'all are the BEST!
The biggest thanks of course, goes to our teachers for providing excellent workshops and performances and for just being crazy cool all weekend long! Damn, this was a fun one!! -

Re: Thanks to the Loti....
Mon, June 23, 2008 - 9:28 PMTHANK YOU Lotus gals!!!! You gals really know how to put an event together and make it run smoothly and as a participant I very much appreciate that. I knew where I needed to be and when and I loved my little folder.
This is the most fun I've had at a TR which is amazing considering the fun I've had at all the others :)
The instructors were all fantastic. I got my butt whooped and loved every moment of it. Can't wait to do it again nexr year!
Now everyone should rest and try to process the weekend if you can
Thank you again!
-Elisabeth AKA the Quad City Cookie {I'm determined... someday ya'll will know where the quad cities are...)

Re: Thanks to the Loti....
Tue, June 24, 2008 - 9:07 AMThank you Loti and fabulous instructors!
It was great fun to bring the Zephyr ladies to their first Tribal Rev, and I know they will be back next year.
Wish we could have stayed longer, and will plan to for '09

Re: Thanks to the Loti....
Tue, June 24, 2008 - 9:20 AMWe all had a great time this year. Yet again - THANK YOU ALL for your support and enthusiasm!
It's always so much fun to put in a ton of work, but then just feel like you're partying with your friends for a few days :)
I would especially like to thank everyone who gave up their time to help us out - Diane for bringing us lunch when she had already made plans for her own, Karrie for rescuing me when everyone needed to buy shirts and sign up for MORE classes, and about a dozen others who selflessly stepped in and made the event even more special. Oh, yeah, and Lane -- those COOKIES!!!!
You all are the reason we do it, and we hope it continues to get better and better! -

Re: Thanks to the Loti....

Re: Thanks to the Loti....
Fri, June 27, 2008 - 12:06 PMI wanted to help out somehow, and I thought perhaps sweets at the front desk might be just the ticket. I was too late in responding to volunteering requests :(
I will make those cookies again, but better next time. Seriously...you haven't even BEGUN to experience organic gluten free cookies. MUHAHAHAHA
