Posting this for my pal Liz who's not an online person these days...

Massage is Good: How to massage yourself and others without killing your hands.

Date: Saturday, September 18th 2010
When: 11 am potluck, 12 Noon Class starts (12-6pm)

What: This class is intended for anyone who would like to be able to learn or improve massage skills. Our primary equipment will be ourselves, ordinary
dining-room chairs, and the floor. The class is oriented mainly towards
massage without the use of specialized massage equipment, so we will be talking about how to work with what you have, and will make accommodations for people’s physical needs. We’ll be talking about how to make massage easier for the person doing the massage and more wonderful for the person receiving. We’ll demonstrate various strokes and techniques to reduce fatigue, and offer basic safety tips for both the massage giver and recipient. You will have time for hands-on supervised practice so that you can try out what you’ve learned and ask questions while you’re doing it.

Where: at Sidhehaven in Yelm (contact us for directions if you need them)

Bring: food (either for yourself or to share, but we think sharing is more fun)

(please do not bring anything with pork, as it is a pork free household.
Ingredient lists are much appreciated in pot-luck items so people will know what's in the food)

Wear: comfortable clothing in which you can move easily and through which it will be easy to massage.

How much: $35 for one person, $60 for two.

Spaces are still available but class size is limited. Please contact us to let us know if you’re planning to come. There are stairs to get into the building.
If this is likely to be an issue for you, please let us know.

Who to contact:

Band busy-ness...

Share Flag
Pleasure
We've been busy - some of the best part of our days has been band stuff... I might post some other fun stuff separately, but the band stuff is pretty cool - the last couple of songs I've worked on have given me opportunities to do work I'm really proud of... both the harmonies I've written and the performances... plus I think the songs are just great; I'm really proud of my boy suddenlynaked for some awesome composition and lyrics... yay...

One of my current favorite bits might not make the album cause it's goofy - he did a funny intro-bit for the song "YES" that'll probably be an alternate version, won't be on the CD:

This saturday we'll be playing a fundraiser at Soul Food Books in Redmond; we're so close to being done, this'll be the last fund raiser for recording; it's so close I can taste it...

it's been a while...

I'm still here :-)

wow, it's been a busy summer - St. Crispy Fest was a fabulous big ass party - music, barter, potluck feasting, singing around the campfire, pancake breakfast, out in the trees and fresh air... big thanks to the folks at the Frog Ranch in Auburn; we'll probably do it again there next year...

then this last weekend was polycamp - I so needed that... a chance to sit and chat with friends I've not seen in way too long, flirting and some kinky whatnot with a delicious new friend, helping in the kitchen (dare I admit that I enjoyed running the Hobart?) - and the most amazing karaoke evar - those poly folk can really put it on...

and recording on the BPO album is going *well* - I'm so proud of my vocals on this album, I feel like I've sort of graduated a level... can't wait to be done with this one - but of course that also means finishing the cover - my first really serious watercolor, which is a bit intimidating... but I think I can pull it off - we'll see, eh?

so... running madly, between hiding my head in the sand and checking the fig tree... I am gonna make some serious figgy chutney this year, I am...

still buzzing...

really high energy show tonight - and what a wonderful audience response! The hall was tough; very echo-ey and "live" - it took a good part of the first set to get the sound to settle down, and it was still not perfect, but Jim really did wonders taming the room to a dull roar... he deserves a sainthood and a really easy next gig for his work tonight!

It was BIG FUN playing the new music; I sang lead for the *second* time tonight, and I think 'Smells like Rain' came off nicely; it's really starting to feel more natural to sing lead (smiling sheepishly) - and oh, it was fun! The other new song that really felt like it came off well was 'Pleasure of the Sky' - that was SO much fun to perform!! and the audience just leaped in with both feet and joined us in the air - no little thanks to the "St Crispy Dancers" - three beautiful women in short coctail dresses who leaped up beside the band to dance and lead the audience response... I so hope someone got film (or at least photos) of them... oh! I might have some myself - my camera was out in capable hands for the evening, I just remembered! I'll post them somewhere when I unearth the camera, it's in one of the cars...

and.. I think we're a rock band now...

Anyway - wow, what an evening - and we capped it all by heading over to the Night Kitchen downtown for our usual 'midnight breakfast after the show'... that place makes *serious* goodies... mmmm, I especially loved the fries dipped in homemade mustard (that was my favorite of the three sauces they came with) - and after, key lime pie... even my non-sweet-loving tongue was enthralled, enraptured - *that* was pie...

it's been a good night - and now it's morning - I should find some sleep now! just don't want to say... good night!

A very dear friend of ours (Dave Burch) needs a ride to the Bone Poets show tonight - Saturday April 24, at Fremont Abbey -

He's in Lakewood (near Fort Lewis) - if you're heading to the show from the south and have room for one person, give him a call: 253-588-3759.


Edit: Found the ride - he's still looking for a ride to Sidhehaven tomorrow, though, if you're going that way...

I'm learning web design in a rather awesome progam (Web Foundations Fast Track) at Cascadia Community College - and I'm on a team that will be redesigning the Everett Public Library website (eee!)... this is their site now: http://www.epls.org/ - it's *not* an online library, but has a catalog you can search of books you can check out online and pick up, information about events and services, that sort of thing.

Here are my questions and requests - for those of you who use public library websites (from either side, as librarians or as users or parents of users)- pick a couple questions from the list - don't feel you have to answer all of these :-)

- What do you see as the *main* purpose(s) of a public library website?
- What specific tasks or information would you go to a public library website to do?
- What do you think is too often missing from library websites (or missing from the Everett site in particular)?
- What do you think is the most useful tool/feature on a public library site?
- What do you find frustrating while using a library site?

- Please take a look at the Everett Public Library site, and note what works and doesn't work for you.

- Please suggest a couple of library sites that you think are great (functional and appealing) - and note what you like about them.

- if you'd be willing to help with usability testing (which won't happen for several weeks), email me at: sue at bonepoets dot com

Thanks for any feedback!

5 years ago...

5 years ago today, we fell into love with two amazing people... I can't really believe it's been 5 years, but then it feels like longer than that; it's hard to remember a time when I didn't love my Ace and Eric. I'm so lucky; we're all so lucky -
I wish that everyone could have this, find a balance of personalities, a connection that is so ... right.

So. I breathe, I dream myself into the arms of my distant loves, I happily feel the arms of my great love who I get to see every day... I am grateful and *deeply* happy.

*LOVE*

spring again...

It's spring, and the colors are singing to me...
how is the time so short, these bright incandescent days
flit by... seeming like moments of pure
anticipation - laced with the smell of green

suddenly I'm that child again
afraid to sleep, or I'll miss something...

here I come... wait for me!
