: 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.

Yes, there is SO much to do in NYC! And it is great for henna related
activities too. There is Jackson Heights, which i describe as "India
and Queens," there are tons of little import shops and other fun
things to do. The last time i was in NYC it was November, and the
snow was falling lightly in SoHo... It was freezing, but really nice
too to get into a warm shop and toast a bit every once in a while!

:
: 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.

I just LOVE Jeremy's idea on this... i hope we can get somethng
going. It really would be entirely useful.

:
: 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.

Yay! My other hand hasn't been hennaed by somebody who isn't me since
last summer! I did manage to do a few left handed designs between
then and now, but they were truly more of a hassle than hennaing
should be! I think this is definately an awesome idea, and you can
count me in 100%! Let's get the ball rolling.....

:
: 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.

Yes, i'd like to help too... just let us know if anything needs doing!
