Cat, informally and hastily piggybacked onto the Poly
Living conference): yes for me

Pantheacon: no for me

The Minneapolis Initiate Gathering: yes for me

I'm not planning on laying out registration money for any festival/gathering this year, as we have no clue what's going to happen with the plan to move.

I want to go to FSG, but, well, you saw the reading. :-/

[onyxtwilight.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'll be at IG, and hopefully FG. Those are sort of given. :-)

Ditto what baggins911 said, although I'm more likely for Family Gathering, depending on funds. At that point I won't have seen my brothers in almost 2 years, and I'd like to have a combined visit with them and the FG.

Would you mind letting me know where you got your icon from? I've been seeing them around, and I really like them :)

[effloresense.livejournal.com]

It's my avatar (http://messenger.yahoo.com/avatars.php) from Yahoo Messenger, screen captured and made into an icon. :)

[vgnwtch.livejournal.com]

Clever! :)

[stephandcurtis.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm, those are all a long way from here - as you know . . .tempt me!

[stephandcurtis.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm, those are all a long way from here - as you know . . .tempt me!
I'd love to join you at Beltaine, as I did several years ago - would you be teaching classes this time, or just playing? Would we get a bit more quality time together than we did last time? Of course, the other question would be, now that I have made changes in my life - how distracted would I get there . . .hmmmmmm

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

I would *love* it if you could come? Is there any chance of that? If you come, I will teach only 2, maybe even 1, workshop so that I can spend time with you (this year looks GREAT for spending time with people I love that I haven't seen enough of in ages)!

Now that both of us have made serious changes, I expect we'd create a much different---more relaxed, more fun, less stressed---gathering for ourselves. I won't be walking on eggshells anymore. And frankly, I'd feel much more at home and much happier and safer with you there. : )

but if you can't come, I totally understand. It's expensive and notice is late. I'll call you this weekend.

At the moment, we're only planning on FSG's main festival. Too many things are up in the air. We still can't guess whether this will be a lean year or a fat year.

[cernunnos1956.livejournal.com]

I plan to attend the Free Spirit Beltaine!

[seedmoon.livejournal.com]

Love the title of this post.

The Free Spirit Main gathering is the only one I'm planning on attending at this point.

[sligoe.livejournal.com]

I'll be at the Philly Gathering, FSA Beltane and FSG-----I'll see how things go for the rest. I'm looking forward to seeing as many of you as I can, and meeting more Blue Star brothers and sisters.

[oakleaves.livejournal.com]

My work schedule is going to keep me away from everything. I'm especially disappointed about not being able to attend any of the FreeSpirit events because (1) it's really been my one opportunity to be with Blue Star folks and (2) I've so enjoyed coordinating on-site registration for the past three years.

But not having been able to attend Blue Star-specific events has been a thorn in my side for some years now. Not since BMC hosted the first and second Family Gathers have I been able to attend one, and it distresses me. I grieve having not met so many of the newer people, especially those initiates whom I have some responsibilities to.

[evaliz122866.livejournal.com]

I'll be at the IG

[puckmls.livejournal.com]

FreeSpirit Beltane: Yes!

FreeSpirit Main Gathering: Also Yes!
(I'm a co-coordinator this year -- I kinda sorta hafta be there)

[shakti-lemaris.livejournal.com]

I'm going to the thing in Philly and FSG
