art and fashion show

my otter hatjust finished making me an otter hat. heading over to the casino tomorrow for the art show. it is from 8-5. i will show my roaches and one of my hand drums. they are having hand drumming at 11 o’clock.  they are also having a fashion show at 1.  i dressed up at the spring dance in my indian regalia. i guess it aint hip to call it a costume. some of the ladies said i should dress up at the fashion show since i was gonna be there anyway. i thought what the hell, why not. but i needed an otter hat. so i made one from a hide i scored at the trail of courage last september. gotta take the camera along to get a few pictures. i dont dress up often. i want some pictures of the others too. i also want to see other artists’ work.

this will be a great opportunity for me to show my roaches. i had a stand at our gathering last year. i did have a stand at our pow wow once but they are a bit pricey. our gathering last year didnt charge much and there were at least a dozen stands run by our tribal members. gotta be a message in there somewhere. i hope i sell something. i need some travel money to go to gathering of nations.

we decided we want some catfish. only place around that serves the whole fish is up north at our brethrens casino. every friday the buffet serves catfish. so i guess we will have a night of gaming in store. i havent been anywhere besides our spring ceremonies. so i need a night out. my body is still aching from dancing 4 days and playing in our indian ball game. every year i say i will retire but end up playing. i have paid for my decision the past few days. good thing i had a few pain pills left.

i still have to get to my garden. it is burned off. just gotta till it now. i didnt put in any early crops. thats okay. i just love to garden. i know what is in my food i eat. im glad i can still do all the things i do. dont want to slow down.
