electriceddiei took my push mower over to where i am gonna camp this pow wow.  it was mowed already but i wanted to push it back some more. it is down in the boonies. it is in a low spot. hope it dont rain anymore. seems it rains often during our pow wow.   it rained alot even when we had it over where the tribal office is. pretentious types call it the government center. i was still in my alky days when they had the pow wow over there. hung out down by the tree line where the partiers were. those days are gone.

tomorrow i will go set my tent up. and take my camping gear. dont know if they gonna have wood to cook with or not. i asked several people and just got a blank stare. i took that to mean no. others are camping in the same spot so we will get some wood somewhere. i like to have cowboy coffee going all the time. i can go back to the camp and fill up a thermos. we usually have a pot of something on the fire all the time. breakfast over campfire is always good.

they gonna have a potluck dinner tomorrow nite.  then they will the princess contest and hand drum contest. that ought to be a good opener for the pow wow. i am ready for the pow wow. we should have a good one. our prize money usually draws good singing groups and dancers. i always have a enjoyable time. i just hope we dont ruin it with too many rules or something. or rip people off. i dont know why but lotsa good pow wows kind of run their course after a while. i would like to see ours get better each year. we have a real good park for it.

i am taking my camcorder and camera. i like to take pictures. i have a coupla thousand of them in my computer. i will burn a dvd with any footage i tape. i posted a 14 second clip of  the chicken dance contest on my facebook page.  i have a dvd of just drum groups singing. and another one of various dance styles. i guess my study in college wasnt wasted.

all this rain is good for my garden. it is really growing. then during this time of year we have people praying it dont rain. kinda ironic. most people dont have gardens so they couldnt care less. at any rate i am ready to pow wow.
