In Bonsall, CA June 24-26, 2011 (new website, somebody!) * This year’s theme has been suggested to be Fifteen-related (since it is Soulstice 15 and all) whichs sounds to some soulsters like a QUINCEAÑERA party! So, what does one find at Quincenañeras, besides poofy dresses??? Why don't you show the answer at Soulstice?! * Also, this is the 14th anniversary of Soulstice. Traditional and/or contemporary 14th anniversary themes are: GIFTS: Traditionally, 14th anniversary gift is ivory - but that is now conventionally recognized as not so nice, but "the ivories" (piano) sure is. So can we get an Amy Jo, Christie Scott, or any other ivory-tickler doing there thing under the stars, or under the big daytime star? FLOWERS: Orchids, Dahlia (any floral folk wanna confirm this?) GEMS: Opal - for real, not kidding. Alternates are Agate & Bloodstone. Mention any thoughts you have on this at the Soulstice 15 FaceBook Group.
