By Daniel G. Van Olst Materials Needed: A long thin waterproof form, maybe 4 or 5 inches wide and about as long as the diagonal on your flags. I use one side of a Dharma fabric box covered in Saran Wrap, so it’s about 5″ by 45″. About a dozen rubber bands, big newspaper ones, not the wimpy little [...]

By Daniel Van Olst I am being watched by an audience of one. A warm night breeze blows off the desert and brushes my cheek, touches my flags, as they slide past my arms, my legs, my face. The only music is from the palms murmuring in the wind, far above me as I flag, as I [...]

Dan, You are an amazing spirit and you were one of the brightest shining stars at Texas Flagger Weekend 4! You are an excellent instructor & mentor and I LOVE watching you move!
Watching you play my Larry Reigel "Mexican Village" pair of fans to my CD mix was the icing on the cake, and it made me cry! And your fire poi-spinning was mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing so much with all of us so openly & freely, Dan.
I’ll get some more music to you soon and take care, my friend!

Dan,
I felt flatterred that you offerred me to flag your spectacular set that nite on stage. No doubt that your sweet offering made a remarkable memory in my flagging life, simply you were the first person who volunteerly asking me to flag with his own set…:) Of course, thanks for some sweet flaggers allowed me to "play" with their sets after I asked for their permission… Hence, your lovely offering made me feel so great and somewhat emotional… Hopefully, you didn’t get disapointed about how your flags "flying" while I "having fun" with them!
Also, I did notice you spent your time showing some cuties how to flag…that’s really nice! I felt embarrassed that I took much of stage time for myself rather than for them to practice…
Again, thanks alot, my Dan.
Cody, a little Asian flagger…

Thanks for sharing your vacation pics! I believe you will be getting a copyright-infringement call from the lawyers for Where in the World is Waldo, but it was worth it.

Flagging with you at an Alegria is a certain candidate for "wildest flagging experience!" Man, it was great fun getting all sweaty with you. Thanks!

Daniel – thanks for the wonderful comment about Sum’s and my performance in "Under the Mink". The night was truly magical for us! I have enjoyed your pictures tremendously – can hardly wait until I learn to do some flag making myself!
