Going to be out of town tomorrow (Friday) through Sunday, with probably limited internet. Have a good weekend everyone.

I'm sorry for another disappearance.  Another family member passed away.  Unless something else happens, I will be posting tomorrow.

[PigLickJF]

Sorry to hear that Marvel, tough time for you. Take whatever time you need, I for one can wait.

[DM Dougfan]

Condolences Marvel. Take your time.

[GM Marvel]

Thank you.  It has been a very rough summer.

[Nacesh]

Sorry for my absence; we also had to let go of great-grandmother.

[GM Marvel]

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your great grandmother.  This just hasn't been a very good year. 

It hasn't been very busy anyways.  Weekends usually are pretty quiet.  But I know Betimi's player has been preparing for a Pagan Pride which was Today (Sunday).

Pagan Pride? How did I not hear of this?

Oh, that's right. Because I'm stubbornly solitary.

Didn't know you lived anywhere near Durham Region Ontario.. or I'd have invited you.  I was too BUSY to have met anyone though. Unless you were a vendor or attended my workshop I had no time to stop and talk.  I was vendor coordinator, taught a workshop and ran main ritual.  My sis in law and my niece and nephew stopped by and I only had time to hug em once and move on.

And if you are gonna FB stalk me at least PM me amd let me know who you are. lol

FYI if you missed Durham Pagan pride there is also
Toronto Pagan Pride - https://www.facebook.com/groups/torontopaganpride/ sorry they haven't set a date yet, but it will be late September
London Pagan pride - https://www.facebook.com/events/1531873277142759/ - Saturday Sept 10th I might go if I have the day off work and can catch a lift from a friend who i know is vending there
PPD Hamilton Harvestfest - https://www.facebook.com/events/1572640866373984/ this is the big one usually - sept 11th .. I will go, or be made to go, if they have to stuff me in the trunk of a car.. so I might as well go willingly and be comfortable

Ottawa Pagan Pride Day hasn't been a thing since 2013 - I can get you in touch with the organisers if you are gutsy enough to take it on and also fire some Ottawa pagans at you as volunteers lol
Kingston Pagan Pride - also died .. last event was 2011
usually these events die because they don't take lessons from each other Durham Pagan Pride Day almost died a few years ago.. a few years of bad weather, not enough vendors and trying to have it in September so competing with PPD Hamilton and PPD Toronto for attendees and vendors almost killed it.. new committee, new energy and a new date and we are ramping up again

as for other PPD events I have only been involved with the 1st PPD Houston, TX back in 1999 if you want to find other ones outside ontario you'd have to go to www.paganpride.org
