Spirit of the Tribes sucked my soul!
Home from Spirit of the Tribes. It was amazing, loved it, but am left totally wiped out. Geisha Moth is one of the sweetest human beings alive. Met some really excellent people that I hate that I'm going to have to wait a whole 'nother year to see again. Learned good stuff, if I can remember it all. Yep, good stuff, definitely want to have even more people come next year so that we can make sure that this yearly even keeps going and going.Qabeelah performing with the College of Charleston
