Blast from Past

[bethlakshmi]

Remember the friend I went looking for? I found her! She's as psyched as me that we caught up. Apparently finding me among the billions of other folks with exactly my name is challenging, while finding her incredibly unique name was fairly simple. I filled her in that "Lakshmi Amman" is alot easier to dig up.

I'm just thrilled that we found each other and that she wants to hear from me. I sure wish I could figure out time in the next 6 months to make a visit. Ann Arbor has not only two of my friends - this one and her husband, who is the one responsible for casting me in my first LARP - but also the Kelsey Museum which has a phenomenal collection of Fustat Textiles and is the home of Ruth Barnes, who dwells right next to Rosemary Crill in my heart, as textile curators who must be worshipped.

Is it weird that I worship textile curators?

ADDITION: Flushed with sucess, I have made a bolder attempt than in the past to flush out another friend of mine from college - Tex (who is really from England... go figure). His email on the only site I can find isn't working, so I boldly mailed his martial arts Sifu a very polite mail asking for him to relay my contact info to Tex. Given that the Sifu still teaches at my alum, and he has an rit.edu address - I think I may get through.

Oh wow! The idea of a wild trip to Ann Arbor gets sweeter all the time... you guys have any ME events out your way? Or artsy performing events?

Sometimes we do, we have a lot of that stuff here and there. There is also always a folkdance night, and hmm, there is probably a bunch of Indian stuff but I'm not as well connected with that. I know there is a theatre that shows Indian films sometimes. Any weekends I should check?
