l the prize was this fabulous pottery urn and two mugs belt buckle and poster how cool is that toasted that night with a little special brew more stories to tell so many interesting people i met great music and fun times gonna go next year bigger and better might even be a vendor and sell my fairies and stuff to pay for my habits posted by sgodsy at 10 52 am 3 comments sunday august 16 2009 kentucky music week i talked mike into going with me to kentucky music week find out about this great event at website www kentuckymusicweek com we left early on friday june 19 and made it to our destination my old kentuck home state park in bardsto wn kent ucky around midnight camping spots were way smaller than we had imagined from the map on the website and also there was a severe grade on the pad real challenge trying to level her up there was such a huge step to get off the porch we met a lot of nice people and were graced with camping fairy gifts many nights a nice family from kentucky gave us a lot of firewood betty from florida in her awesome little new shasta brought us some delightful keylime pie she shared her recipe for it and a few other easy pies which i made for our impromtu dessert jam a couple driving by gave us a thumbs up on the vardo and we invited them to come in for a tour thrilled to find out they were also dulcimer players here for kmw mary jane and jean were are first kmw friends and we enjoyed talking with them throughout the week bardstown was a quaint little town and we walked the downtown shops and went on a trolly tour to heaven hill distillery we started off the week with a little trauma early monday morning a little rain storm blew up mike had decided to sleep in a little tent instead of the mattress on the floor of the vardo i sent him a text you dry reply no i put on my shoes and went out to help put a plastic sheet over the tent and as we were clipping it on i made a quick trip to the loo and came back to find mike standing on the vardo porch saying we need to find a hospital i looked down at his muddy foot to see his big toenail had been ripped back walking in the mud with flipflops proved to be dangerousewith all the exposed roots we called nancy the kmw director and found a hospital fairly close the er doctor came into the room and shuddered when she saw mike s toe all bloody and muddy nail hanging loose i said you re a doctor you re not supposed to do that she said i don t do well with toenails well after a couple of standard er hours of waiting the nail was removed toe cleaned and bandaged and we were out of there mike hobbling with his protective boot we made it to boston school the location for the kmw by around 9 30 the classes actually started at 9 but to our good fortune there had been a fire alarm and everyone had been out of the building so we really didn t miss much the gods are with us the week was filled with classes on hammered dulcimer autoharp singing and tin whistle for me mike enjoyed making two lovely stained glass pieces a drum out of a gourd and campground cooking he had intended on doing a dancing class but not destined to happen with his toe situation back to the campsite one night we found the campground fairy had left us a nice wooden step to get up on our porch another night there was a bright orange leveling pad by the vardo f olks were really generous we gave a lot of tours think i should put out a donation bucket for future improvements here are a few pics with the emma rose dolled up in her finest courtesy of mary janes blog i borrowed these pics cause i forgot to take any pictures that week i added a flower garland that has lights purple of course check out the new carpet i made for the porch these are recycled carpet tiles i have cut to form a quilt like pattern pretty unique eh i have some challenges keeping the pieces in place they come with these little adhesive dots but the rain and heat are taking a toll on them i may try to find a way to sew them together using plastic lacing check out the groovy little colorful lights i found at wally world they are those paper lantern styles although they are made out of nylon so they won t melt in the rain they work great clipped to the spines of the umbrella we really enjoyed our first full week camping in kentucky minus the setback with the big toe and a little muggy heat which made cooking our dinner over a campfire a real chore gotta buy a little electric grill sure wally world will have something that will make dinner in less than an hour our last day in bardstown we found this fabulous family owned restaurant it was way too hot to try and cook over an open fire lunch was amazing and we made a reservation for dinner t hen we went to visit mary jane and jean at their campground toured their big rig saw mary janes new baby an amazing sounding mountain dulcimer mike said he wouldn t mind learning to play that one we invited them to join us for dinner great home style southern cooking and fun conversation a memorable end to our week think we might do this one again posted by sgodsy at 7 22 pm 2 comments saturday august 15 2009 first annual gypsy goddess gathering for my birthday i decided to camp out all week at watkins mill campground in excelsior springs a few nights of storms but for the most part a great week with the culminating event on saturday night my first annual gypsy goddess gathering i invited some girlfriends and 15 actually ventured out rose and her mom came up on friday night and shared dinner with paula p and i they helped put up our makeshift tarps and fancy disco lights this was a big step for rose as she doesn t really like the wilderness while sitting at the picnic table eating she screamed and leaped next to me when a snail crawled up the tablecloth by her plate my goal is to get her to stay the night sometime this year paula p from work brought her pop up camper and got a spot right next to mine she s my hero cause she taught me how to make jello shots we made over a 100 for this event april and paula a came up early and set up their tent and oozed in the beautiful weather we enjoyed some hammock and lounge chair time before the festivities began i invited maya zahira to give us a little belly dance and drumming instruction she brought scarves and drums the yell she taught us drew just a little attention one guy just kept hanging around the vardo said he thought a bunch of indians had invaded and he thought he was going to get a free show i talked with him for a bit and he finally went on his way maya was great gave us a little gypsy history info and taught several steps and moves and drumming rhythms gonna start a tradition of the traveling sisterhood of the the scarf to keep our gypsy goddess spirit alive all year amanda works it after a few jello shots angelina geslaine paula a paula p april phyllis amanda and her mom and sister my mom meghan elva are decked out in our finest gypsy apparel skirts scarves and jingly drapes gypsy girls chillin by the fire we hung these tapestries on the clothesline to give us a little privacy a couple of boys at the next site spent much of the evening peeking out of their tent window after maya left we tossed around a few more jello shots then came a little visit from the park ranger asking us to keep it down a little i thought we were going to be kicked out next year i may need to find a private place to camp so we can party and not worry about quiet hours be looking for an invite the second week of june for gypsy goddess gathering take 2 posted by sgodsy at 7 58 pm 1 comment tuesday june 30 2009 schwagstock or bust may 21 25 last year my brother told me about this place camp zoe http www campzoe org that held these big concert events called schwagstock i guess it s kind of missouri version of woodstock got rained out last year but i was determined to go this year cause i could be high and dry in the vardo couldn t convince anyone to go with me think all my friends thought this might be a little too out there for them so i said what the hey i m going on my own brother jeff and linda were planning on going too so i wouldn t be completely alone by the way it was his big 50 birthday coming up so meg and i made him a special cake with a bobber harley making a motorcyle out of fondant is really a challenge but i think it turned out rather well i had called the camp asking about an electic sites air would be nice so would my cpap machine they said no guarantees i left early thursday morning and made my merry way to salem mo course i had to stop at walmart for stuff to sustain me the whole weekend forgot about the cake in the truck in 80 degree heat that s when the major melting and sliding occured oh well at least you can still tell it s a motorcycle although it looked like it was going down on the way to camp zoe there was a hiway patrol rodeblock a little panic no i was not carrying any illegal substances although i did have expired tags no renewal sticker the officer said what s with your tags i said i worked in the inner city and someone kept stealing my stickers he bought that and didn t give me a ticket guess they were more concerned with contraband than legal plates easily found the entrace to camp zoe huge gravel hill and another checkpoint camp zoe security looking for weapons and dogs don t think they counted my mace as a weapon thought i d bring it along incase of another stranger in a panel van situtation made it to the main entrance where i asked about needing electricity for medical reasons they flagged over someone important in a little golf cart she took a look at the vardo and said i like your rig so i m gonna park you over in this handicapped area it was right next to the vip camping area which cost another 25 bucks or so and there was a sweet space right next to a driveway where a large rv was plugged into a outlet on a pole i backed her in and was right next to a shady pine tree row which gave me shade from late morning on i leveled her up and quickly pulled out my 100 foot extension cord and asked some nice hippy couple who were hanging up this big graffit banner if i could plug into their outlet they said sure and i was wired got the emma rose all set up lights and tables and such settled down for dinner at my little table with umbrella light and all and here is my perfect view of the main stage i swear i had the best spot in the place could see it all from my own little gypsy domain met some interesting people who were curious about the vardo one nice older man brought back his chair and sit to talk for a while he shared that he had been diagnosed a few years ago with cancer just finished his treatments although he still had the stint for the chemo in he d just gotten back from san fran haight ashbury area where he found releif from his pain in medicinal grade herbs if ya know what i mean that night enjoyed some mellow music with the help of a little homemade wine delivered by a wandering vendor that was little more potent than your regular stuff found myself walking a little sideways to the handicap portapotty which conveniently was located just behind my site nicest port a potty i d been in also guarded by a nancy one of the friendly private security guards of camp zoe who added her special touch of a candle vip camping is the bomb next day jeff and linda found me not hard to do and i gave him the slightly tilted cake and a harley davidson blanket they hung around for a while and came back for breakfast and dinner on fri and sat linda made a mean deluxe breakfast burrito on an electric griddle and jeff cooked up some good burgers met a lot of nice people including tanya and her boys credence and red and their friend mike who sports the red mohawk seen below drumming he did some amazing fire dancing including a flaming mohawk if i can figure out how i ll add a video i took of his performance there was supposed to be a contest for best campsite and of course i had to get in the action so i did some bartering and got this gal who does airbrushing to create my camp gypsy nomad sign let s all live like nomads when i figure out how to enter might win tickets to go back to another schwag event it really ended up being a lovely time pretty interesting and mellow music dancing light show giant bonfire with drumming and dancing all night long believe it or not i was able to sleep through it all what an experience with a couple thousand friendly hippies i ll probably go again sometime hope someone will go with me next time posted by sgodsy at 2 29 pm no comments thursday june 18 2009 ozark gathering may 8 10 my first solo trip my first solo weekend in the vardo i decided to join up with the teardrop group for a missouri ozark gathering at riverfront campground http www riverfrontcampcanoe com near lebanon mo on the banks of the niangua river i decided to go down early to give myself a chance to set up camp on my own arrived at campground on thursday early evening only saw one other teardrop there he came over and introduced himself i ve forgotten his name but he was from arkansas he shared some firewood and thank goodness lent me a hand to put up a new screenhouse i got the campsite all set up cute hung party lights inside the screenhouse set up my kitchen stuff there another camper drove in and introduced himself riverrat ron he wasn t with the teardrop group just a wilderness survival kayak guy in a white panel van now that i tell the story i guess i should have been a little leary of a guy in a panel van but he seemed friendly and not too scary i suppose i should be little more savey and cautious about strangers but my gut instincts said he was ok i went to bed pretty early and air con felt pretty good that night as it was really muggy that should have been my warning that the weather was changing for some reason i woke up pretty early around 6 or so turned on the radio and heard about all these storms and possible tornados just south of me in springfield area i got in car and drove to other campers two more teardrops had arrived in the night including warpony who was the organizer of this event i asked if they were concerned about the weather and they didn t seem concerned said it was way south i realized i didn t know what county i was in something you should know when you are traveling they said we were in dallas county so i went back to the vardo pulled out my map and sat nervously listening to the radio it seemed the storm path was really widening and now included dallas county when i heard about a school roof being blown off just 10 miles away i must say a little panic set in i looked around to see where i might take cover i contemplated putting a blanket around me and a plastic tub to block the glass and just sit it out in the truck called mike at work not that he could be much help but just needed to talk through what to do with someone i drove up the hill to the camp shower house but it had not been unlocked for the season looking aroun...
