    I wanted to thank Kajira and Chuck for working their butts off to make this such a great festival. Everyone I talked to there was so nice and enthusiastic (and I think I talked to just about everyone!) - even in the hottest part of the heat. The teachers were great (just as Jessica said), the performances were fabulous, the vendors' creativity and quality were amazing, and the volunteers and staff of TF and the Community Center were all lovely. I had a great time and am already planning next year's!

      Kajira and Chuck for a fabulous week! I had such a great time! I took some great workshops and got to reconnect with beautiful friends. I shopped until I couldn't shop anymore - the selection of beautiful items was mind boggling! The performances were out of this world, and I came home completely inspired. I had a great time volunteering as backstage manager on Friday. It was a great way to meet new people (Onca is a complete doll - I adore her!! & ArBee - you are the biggest sweetheart! - I lurve you bunches!) Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make the festival a success. Thank you to all the amazing dancers who shared their vision and art with us. Thank you to the fabulous teachers who shared their knowledge and creativity with us. Thank you to everyone who came out to support Tribal Fest - the happiest place on earth!

    Can't believe it, another Tribal Fest has come and gone, and while we're all over here at Anaar's recovering, we're already talking about Tribal Fest 10!

    Thanks so much to Chuck and Kajira for everything they do - and major kudos to all of the volunteers who help make TF run. And thank to all of my w/s students - you make everything worthwhile. And everyone who stopped by the booth (to shop, to chat, etc). So good to see friends that I now only see once a year b/c we're on the East Coast. *HUGS!*

      Thank You Kajira and Chuck! and to all the beautiful community that makes TF what it is.
      This year was amazing!! So much wonderful dancing! and was great to catch up with friends, and meet some new ones. I get a good dose of everything I love the most about America, when I come to TF and stay in Sebastopol, its so good for my soul just to be there, I Love Tokyo but every once in a while I need a good break from it, and a chance to reenergize.

      Unfortunately lovely E-chan brought something less than wonderful back with her to Tokyo, she has the first confirmed case of Swine Flu in Tokyo! yikes!! somehow, Milla is fine though.
      hopefully Echan will be well soon.

      See you next year!
      All the love.

        wow... well, this is unfortunate!
        I actually should go and get tested too then since I'm kaka sickly now and drove in a car with them in Florida right before tribal fest!

          I picked up a nasty cough and was feeling pretty run down. My only symptoms. The doc said it was a virus, but they didn't seem concerned that it was swine flu. The cough has already improved and my energy is returning. Just FYI!

            Thank you to both of you, Waow! Last year was my first, this year was wonderfull too.
            I met so many people thanks to you, saw wonderful dancers too.
            The vendors were great but this time I didn't get ruined 'cos I was a bit of aware.
            Sharing a room with other dancers was so great too, the community was all over.

            ... just one regret : I was looking forward to seeing MC Laura again, but she wasn't there. I had such a good time last year listening to her. I hope she's good and that she'll be here next year.

            Once again, thank you to Chuck and Kajira.
