An intriguing way to celebrate the Solstice

[pegkerr]

I am awfully tempted to go to this. minnehaha B. and K. told me about it.

Mystik Toyz, Robin "Adnan" Anders, and Illumination Fire Dancers Present A Winter Solstice Drum And Dance Circle

What better way to celebrate the winter solstice and darkest day of the year than with drums and fire? Robin "Adnan" Anders and some of the Twin Cities' hottest percussionists lead the drumming as Illumination Fire Dancers heat things up even more with soulful and mesmerizing dances of fire. Bring your drums and dancing feet as everyone is encouraged to participate in this annual celebration - all skill levels are welcome! You don't have to travel all the way to Hawaii (although that would be pretty nice this time of year) to experience fire dancing at its finest. Illumination is the Twin Cities' premier fire troupe and will be featuring a variety of fire dances such as baton, staff, poi, devil stick, as well as elegant fire fingers, fans, palms, and wands. Nothing fuels these dances more than the heartbeat of the drum. Read more

Hmm . . . $10.00. Reasonable if it just me. But minnehaha K. and B. say it goes very late. Logistical problem. Thursday night is Rob's night out, and if I take the girls and pay for them too (they would probably enjoy it), it'd be more of a financial stretch. And what do I do when it's time for them to go to bed, if I want to stay? They have to get up at 6:00 a.m. to get to school for heavens sake. (Well, I have to get up at 6:00 a.m., too, but I'm tougher about going without sleep.)

Not asking for advice, exactly, just thinking out loud. Maybe I can work something out with Rob. Anyway, it does sound like fun. Anyone else going? If not to this event, what are you doing to celebrate the solstice in your area?

Wow, y'all are still in school? The kids around here have been out since last Friday.

Sounds neat.
