Where's the post from earlier  tonight?!   Lost in cyber space!   Tying off loose threads these last few days before TA DAA!  Julie Hellwich comes in Thursday night, then we fly into the festival & stirring up energy.  Great to be on WCYB noon show Tuesday + new press out in Loafer, Times News, TriCities.com & Greeneville Sun.  Jamming with Park Overall is fun, fun, fun as we whirl around ideas for Friday night.  Been working on a special art piece designed by Jeanie, my sister. She has done A LOT of brainstorming with images and design for print pieces; also had help from Nancy Fishman + my friends at KINKO'S/FEDEX OFFICE.  See the photo gallery posted on my FB page!   Student photog, Carissa, has supplied many sharp shots!
Looking forward to a TOWN FULL of WindeFest divas - friends coming in from several states and the roller girls and artist presenters!   Can hardly wait to see ya'll, ya'll! 
 
HOORAY FOR  WF first ticket sales for drum circle!   I hear it already;  the rhythm of  creative energy and he power of positive INTENTION!  BIG THANKS going out to my sister, Jean, who has done logo, poster, ticket & other print design...do not even ask how many variations, tweaks and remakes I've asked her to do!  Such is artistic process!   ALSO to K.C. Gott for contacts, web work, answering my countless questions!  YO to Nancy Fishman working on the rack cards! Mike Clark & the Loafer & Carissa for photos, also staff at J'bo Visitors Center for handling ticket sales pre-event.  And what about all the friends loaning REALLY COOL garments for Fashion Rules.  You will NOT BELIEVE what I got hold of this very day!  Synchronicity is being synchronicious,
ya'll.  Keep a look out for WindieFest flyers flying!
 
Lots going on all while the snow continued these past 2 weeks....I got my Christmas tree down, decorations wrapped and PUT AWAY!   I think it is genetic, this not wanting to take down the tree, as Mom told me my Grandmother used to wait until Easter!  Now about WindieFest...well, there are parts fitting together daily with program elements, posters, publicity, yadda yadda.  Had a great time last Sunday working with Paula on Ear Wings - see pics at INSPIRATIONS!   +  lovely visit to ARtopia to meet with Becky and communications with Jenny re BEADWORKS.  Julie has sent pages of Smart Women Stickers, so you will be seeing them all around! 
 Meeting with Amber at Jonesborough Visitors Center on Monday to set up ticket sales.....MARCH 1st  we open the gates for ticket purchase!
I am excited...and anxious...and jumping up and down!   Have been dreaming of WindieFest for YEARS, and now it's time to let 'er fly!
 
Getting WindieFest on a range of radar screens, including Jonesborough chocolate vendors and venue owners!  It is exciting to get enthusiastic feedback and accomodations for this new format.   It's all about the love, ya'll = love of people, programming, possibilities = all into the light of this new year.  Lots more to tell, but at the moment distracted by LUNCH DATE with Park Overall . . .must be on my way. Learning lots of new tricks re: web publishing, bloggin and formatting.
 
Park Overall schedules flight for Friday, March 26 7-00 pm for windieFest kick off!
