Well, a few thoughts come to mind for me. A NYC gathering doesn't
have to take the place of the SW event. I think the main issue that
attracted me was the idea of a gathering with folks from here to put
faces to names and talk and do henna. NYC also opens a world of
other possibilities for other things to do while there about or not
about henna. But preferably henna related fun things to do in the
city. The thought also of a henna event in the winter down time when
the soul is weary and could use such a gathering gave me warm
fuzzies. And a totally selfish thought was that it would of
necessity be held "inside" where I love to do henna surrounded by
creature comforts of music, a fireplace, hot tea, incense burning and
the promise of a long hot bath waiting just for me.

If the existing henna artists association is defunct then I would
also like to discuss the possibilities...ins and outs and
wherewithalls...connected to starting a chapter or seperate
association. Seems like a lot of research could be done prior to the
gathering and some time spent together pulling all of what has been
gathered together in a form suitable to make decisions about
possibilities and next steps if any.

But, I just love NYC in the winter. It is one place I love to be and
look outside my window to watch the big snow flakes falling down on
the grey slush and cars and neon lights. (All the while knowing that
there are 10,000 other things always going on outside if I wanted to
go out and join in.) I'd love to browse the stores and walk the
streets in NY this winter with my fresh henna designs cozy and warm
inside my gloves. Fresh henna on both of my hands at the same time
will be a new and unique experience for me. I hope that is a
given...everyone will leave with both hands hennaed. Hey, that seems
to me to be an important enough purpose to gather. It can be
the "Will Somebody PLEAZE Henna My Other Hand!!!" weekend. I'm game
and will start saving now to get myself and my henna there.

About the e'zine...wonder what help Jeremy could use to get this
underway again. Catherine has said that he is very busy right
through here so knowing the ways he could use our help to keep this
alive might be a starting point.

Maureen here thinking henna thoughts while waiting for these stubborn
henna stains to go bye-bye.
