When I left my girl
In her grave on Mount Hikite
And walked down the mountain path,
I felt as though I were dead

I submitted a proposal for two classes to Shibaricon 2010. Just getting that part done was nerve wracking, I hate writing and I had several friends read over and make edits along way.

Well today I received an email saying they would like me to run one of my classes at Shibaricon

I am kinda bouncing off the walls now, this means a lot to me and I am honored they have picked one of my proposals

more details when I get ok to say them

Last weekend was the Connecticut GRUE (Graydancer’s Ropetastic Unconference Extravaganza)

Graydancer popped in briefly during a discussion/class on tying blindfolded I was leading and interviewed me about what was going on and goal of the session. you can hear it at about 37 min into the RopeCast

You can hear the podcast yourself here:

I waited for my
Lover until I could hear
In the night the oars of the boat
