beltane at circle was beautiful, as usual.
i was surprised how many people were happy to see me. i'm used to going there and sort of hanging out with whoever i came with for the most part and maybe chatting with a few people but yesterday it was like every single person who i have ever met there was like "PERKY!!!!!!" and ran up to me and gave me big hugs. it was nice. a lot of people remembered me from being half of the may couple LAST Beltane but that's OK. there was even one guy who is always there for holidays that came up to me and was like "So. OK. I see you at every single festival here and I still have no idea who you are! Hi I'm Brian!" so i felt pretty popular yesterday, and that's always nice. it was just the ego boost i needed, actually. lol. when in doubt, GO TO CIRCLE! also one of the high points of the day was drum circle with nataraj and bright cloud. (i think bright cloud may have a wee crush on me, and that is A-OK. i met him at PSG last year and he is a fun guy (fungi) and steph thinks he's gorgeous. i can't say i don't agree. he was crowned May King, afterall.) anyways i have to start saving up for a drum from helen bond's collection. they are the nicest, ever. she brings them back from west africa where she studies african music and drum making. i already swore to several people i wouldn't ever buy a drum from anyone else. but they are in the $400 range for a djembe... worth it, however.
anyways i am rambling about things that you people don't care about.
going back to circle today to get mom's serving bowl she forgot.

I'm glad you're having a good time. It seems to be just the thing you need right now. Mer's gonna be a drummer eh? I'll have to give ya few lessons.
haha yeah i suck pretty bad but my mom said i make it look easy... and last year at psg when i played my first djembe i was told i was a "natural"
i did bang on pots and pans a lot when i was little... but that may have just been to annoy my mother.
