Or aka "Going for broke" *lol*

I saw a commercial for it on Thurs and pointed out to bubba "ooooooh!" I was joking around about going to it but he did say if I wanted, we could. So, we'll just see if he'll keep to his word tomorrow since thats the day we planned it for. If you click on the Texas section, thats the one thats going on.
Its not really a Pow Wow though its close enough for it to me. I haven't attended one of these things in like 6yrs when I was stationed at Ft.Hood. (it was actually held in Killeen outside of post). I use to go to the Pow Wow's they would hold in York, PA at the York Fair grounds.
Attending one of these events is just awe inspiring. The culture itself is beautiful, serene, and yet tragic as well. (finding words about it overall is hard for me to describe really). I never get tired of studying up on it, though its kinda rough to get over on some areas that make me tear up. The arts & skills of these people are mind boggling.
If you click on the section that says Stage Entertainment, pics just don't do it justice. To see the acts perform or the costumes/gear is breath taking. One yr at the York event, they had an Aztec dancer there. Seeing his costume up close, wow! Not just the feathers but the work that went into the costume itself, handmade at that. I would love to see Jackie Bird's outfit that she's wearing in the bottom pic in person. The hoop dances that one does is pretty neat, so very artistic in its own way. I can't wait to see the original setup of the Tipi.
The arts & crafts at these things are *GUH! makes grabby hands*. I'll admit that these things aren't cheap but I think alot of it is worth it. To go to one of these events, you have to make sure you have some money saved ahead of time. Plus the food there!! God, another reason I love going to these things, the food is soooo good. Me want fried bread!!
One of these days I'll do a write up about my love for this culture, while trying not to bore anyone *lol* As well as trying to find a way to take pics of the art I drew back in my high school years.

Hmmm....I was a bit disappointed with the fried bread at this event. I don't know if its something different to others or what or maybe cause the event we went to wasn't a Pow Wow. The fried bread at this event was thin and crispy. The fried bread I eat at Pow Wow's are thick and fluffy and it kinda tastes like a funnel cake (those you can get at carnivals and such, all it is is a batter that you pour through a funnel hence the swirly pattern it makes in the oil). Cause I had the fluffy fried bread at the PW's in PA and the one I went to 6yrs ago (which was in TX) were the same, which is why I don't understand the difference with what we had this weekend. The kind that they served at the event we went to was something we had at a mexican resturant recently, hence my disappointment.
Here is what REAL fried bread looks like. The stacks of them on that plate pic are the small versions. They make them much bigger at PW's. Fried bread is also a staple food that the Native ppl have eaten for generations.

I took a course during uni where we had to plan and host a dinner and our group chose Native Canadian cuisine as our theme. It was loads of fun researching and organizing the menu and whatnot. Anyhow, bannock was our "bread" for that evening.
Off to go read your report now...

Thanx. It may come off as sounding dorky (at least thats how I perceive myself to get) but I hope I can get my point across.
