We (me, Sage, her hubby, some other folks) are having a small all-night vigil in Lakewood on Friday night before Drumming Up the Sun. You are MOST welcome to join us even for a little while should you feel so moved. Maybe six folks all told? Gracious hosts. Sharpies at hand (ask and we'll tell you). Yule logs at the ready (I hope we can burn outdoors that night). Stories and drumming. Foot massage. I will dig up your email and send you the info there as well. BB -- alison
