Oh, and it was a pleasure seeing you Sitara :) I wish there was a chair next to that stump I was sitting on. If you want to discuss more about websites, and that sort of thing, email me.

salaams hijabo- thanx for comin in town anyway and trying stuff out. i really don't think they discussed the book..at least perhaps not until after we left (6ish). getting there was a trip in itself- had a bit of a harold and kumar venture with a couple cars trailing with us to search for an open gate. the food made up for it..and i guess the stagnant weather got to a few folks who weren't up for getting up. i didn't get that clique vibe tho, maybe it was just on the brothers' end, but i know what you mean about closed off societies. i think it just may take a while for folks to get comfortable around each other before they are willing to open up. sometimes it's just difficult becuz so many folks have such varying interests in what they want to do there, which is cool, but just harder to find others to partake in the same game. i think the camp crew deserves props for putting it together tho, tireless efforts. if u missed this one, come to the next.

Picnic: Not the best in the world.

On a scale of 1-10? 4, reaching a 6 by the end.

I should explain. I do a lot of traveling to various MSAs, Conventions, Picnics- Muslim gatherings in general. And I have this internal rating system of how cliquey vs. open they are. How well they treat strangers, etc. One of the reasons for my balloon animals is to draw people out of their shells, make people a little less insecure. I just felt like people weren't willing to break out of their shells, the vibe felt a bit stifling with what I saw as insecurity, or an unwillingness to begin new relationships, or go out beyond their comfort level. It's understandable, because our whole society is like that. It's considered weird to go and speak to some stranger... I tried :)

In all fairness, I did meet a few wonderful people and hope they keep in touch :)

Did anyone get the scoop on the launch of the book club? They were going to start with a discussion of "Muhammad" by Martin Lings, which is an amazing book...

d part i dont understand is when exactly is the picnic part? and it's most prbly gonna be in the 90s like this week, so i'd prefer being outdoors during sun downtimes, like after 3 or 4. whats the deal? id luv to stay for the 9oclock gig but it's way to late for such a far place. when's everyone goin?

Due to my unexpected brain fart, I slurred 7 pm. What I meant to say was the 4pm and 9 pm events. However, it's still too early for me to decide that far ahead in future. I know it's only a week, but I will definitely be able to decide by mid way through next week.

hmm 4pm or 9pm? yeah 9 pm does seem a bit late, but i'd like to c it, so i guess the 4pm will have to do. besides, picnics are more of a daytime event.

anyone remember the planetarium from the owen b. science center?? i'm assuming the NC stands for nature center. the 9pm one sounds interesting, but it'll be exhaustive to stay that late..4pm sounds better.
