Yeah the humidity's pretty bad over there but the powwow will be in the MCI Center, nice and air conditioned

sounds like a plan....but ummm. i think schemitzun towards the end its goes something like schemitzun than shinnecock i think. and thats labor day weekend.

T. Jude Fox · 03-17-2005, 08:47 PM

I just got the email flyer yesterday, sooo, damn it sure looks good, hmm, first annuals are always tricky though huh?
But I imagine the money is there and a crowd will be there for sure so it makes me wonder if I should sling some real good old fashion Traditional Frybread at the crowds there and clean up with a few grand or so, hmmm. I may go, still got friends, family and a landlord in Arlington, VA. hmm. *L*

I really wanna go especially since I missed the grand opening of the museum.

It's gonna be wicked.

fancyfingers · 03-18-2005, 12:35 AM

me and fam are lookin forward to go this year, im glad theyre having it this year, last one was all goot but, just to hot no air goin thru, glad its indoors and larger area. im worried bout parking thu. anywayz that will be my b-day w/e gonna have a blast. cant wait to see some fam and friends old and new.

BlackHorseButte · 03-18-2005, 10:13 AM

looking forward to singing down there....it was hot the last time we had a powwow there. so hot a tradish dancer dropped dead of heart attack during intertribal. sad, but it was a good powwow other than that

buckskin pantyhose · 03-18-2005, 10:56 AM

YUP! YUP! YUP! In our own "backyard"!....I cant wait for this one...the line up is incredible, the money is rediculous & the vibe is gonna be outta control!! The MCI Center is a really nice facility...HUGE, a great way to bring all the natives back to DC!

Anyone come out for the powwow on the national mall a few years ago? I think this one will definitely top that!
