community Notes; February 28 – March 6

Paganicon is really filling out. They received more programming submissions then they could find slots for. The vendor area is completely reserved. A whole lot of people are signing up as attendees, but this is an incredibly important event for our community, so I’m going to keep promoting it. This is going to be a major event. Pre-registration ends March 4, so be sure to sign up right away: http://tcpaganpride.org/paganicon/registration . Food will be ordered according to the pre-registration numbers, so if you register at the door, you might not be able to eat. Also if you want advertising, or sponsorship, sign up before March 4: http://tcpaganpride.org/paganicon/sponsorship . If you are going to stay at the Hotel, you can get a special Paganicon rate until March 4: http://tcpaganpride.org/paganicon/hotel . Please sign up this week.

Local community grandfather Ken Ra got a new kidney this week donated by a local Pagan. We wish them each many years of good health.

UMPA’s 4th Anniversary Bash is next Saturday at the Sacred Paths Center. If you are a Pagan in the Upper Midwest, then you are extremely qualified to attend. They are planning a wonderful celebration, and these are people who know how to throw celebrations. Really, I’ve been to their celebrations before, and they do it right. http://www.umpaganalliance.com/schedule.shtml

Nationally known author and lecturer, Orion Foxwood, will be presenting the workshop Path of the Faery Seer at the Eye of Horus this Saturday & Sunday. They’re flying him in just for this. http://shop.eyeofhorus.biz/Faery-Seer-Module-1-p/cls-fs1.htm

Next Sunday, there will be a talk and book signing with the authors of the Psychic Tarot at The Eye of Horus at 2pm. Listen to the authors talk about using psychic abilities to enhance tarot reading. http://shop.eyeofhorus.biz/Psychic-Tarot-Book-Release-Lecture-Signing-p/cls-20110220.htm

UMPA’s fourth anniversary bash is coming up in two weeks. We’ve had a few events lately which have provided wonderful opportunities to cut loose and relax after the long winter: Moosemas, the Bread & Brew competition, and now we can look forward to UMPA’s celebration. After this winter, we certainly deserve some wonderful celebrations. http://www.umpaganalliance.com/schedule.shtml

We reported here that Keys of Paradise LLC, a local Pagan-owned business, is moving into a larger production facility. Now you can read more about it at https://pncminnesota.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/keys-of-paradise-a-growing-local-pagan-business/

If there is an event which you would like mentioned in this newsletter, please post it to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TwinCitiesPagans/cal

Paganistan Community Notes; February 7-13

Next Saturday night (February 12) will be the annual Bread & Brew competition at the Sacred Paths Center following their annual meeting. Bread! Brew! Pagans! That sounds like the basic recipe for a good time. http://sacredpathscenter.com/?page_id=1065

TC Pagan Pride normally has a booth at GLBT Pride, however this year none of the leadership is available that day, and they’re busily organizing Paganicon. This means that there will not be a clear representative of the local Pagan community passing out fliers from the myriad of different local Pagan originations (as Pagan Pride has done). Is there another Pagan group who would like to take up the Pagan banner at GLBT Pride? Please contact info@tcpaganpride.org and they will be happy to share all they know about working a booth at GLBT Pride.

This community has a huge Heathen population, but so far no heathen workshops have been submitted for Paganicon. If you’re a Heathen attending Paganicon, and you’d like to present a workshop, please go to: http://tcpaganpride.org/paganicon/programming
