Flagger Weekend in Dallas is just a week away, and the organizers are in high
gear getting everything ready. We’ve added some items to the schedule:

*** Free T-shirt tie dye – For the first time ever at Flagger Weekend, we’ll be
dying t-shirts. Thursday evening after dinner, we’ll explain the process
(different than for flags) and turn you loose on the dye tables. This is a free
workshop; just bring your own t-shirt (white, washed, 100% cotton).

*** Poi Flags – We’ll have a limited number of poi flag kits, available at the
welcome center. Instructions will be given during the Friday demonstrations, so
you can dye them any time during the weekend.

*** Gift bags – If you’d like to add something to the gift bags for
participants, please do! We’re preparing 50 gift bags this year and will
assemble them Thursday evening after dinner.

*** And a reminder that in addition to standard sized flags, this year we’ll
have giant flag kits (45"x55" flags) and lightweight giants (45"x55 flags of
lightweight silk)

Schedule and registration online now at http://www.FlaggerWeekend.com — Hope to see
you here!

Dallas welcomes flaggers, fanners, and poisters from all over the country for a
3-day weekend of connection and growth, July 3-5.

Our welcome dinner is Thursday night on July 2. Workshops are all day Friday and
Saturday, and we end the weekend on Sunday with a flaggers’ tea dance.

We’ve added some new courses this year, and have more time than ever before at
the dye stations — 13 hours!

Our host hotel is the Warwick Melrose, one of Dallas’ most historic hotels, and
is located on the gay strip of Cedar Springs for walking access to clubs and
restaurants. We have a special Flagger Weekend rate of only $79.

Greetings all,

As I am sure you have all heard by now, Jeff Jacka has passed from an
untimely death in his hot tub.

Funeral services will be in Atlanta on Sunday, April 19. Details are yet to
come. I’ll pass along info as it comes my way.

A West Coast Memorial is being organized for San Francisco friends and
"family" and will be on Saturday, April 11, in the AIDS Memorial Grove. The
Grove is ours for the day. Timing and other details are yet to come, but I
wanted to let everyone know as early as possible so you can plan to be
there.

If you care to assist in the Memorial or have pictures, video, flags or any
remembrance of Jeff you would like included in the Memorial, please let me
know.

Please pass this info along to anyone you know who I might have missed (or
don’t have contact info for).

More details to come.

With sadness,

Chuck Conner

Hello Everyone,

We’ve received pictures from several people, and have done our best
to include shots from each of the events.

There are several movies:
– HighRes/LowRes Pictures – a "weekend in review" of the entire event
– HighRes/LowRes SpinOut – a montage video of all 22 performers in
the SpinOut Showcase.
– DVTV 08 – A Dallas Voice TV video created for Flagger Weekend 5

We are working on the souvineer DVD, which will contain all of the
individual performances from the showcase. The montage video gives
you a taste of the showcase, while we prepare the full video.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and videos!

Best regards,

It’s been an amazing, exhausting, wonderful event, and I think the
passion of everyone involved has taken Flagger Weekend to a whole new
level.

I couldn’t be more pleased with our team of organizers. You guys
really dove into it, taking ownership of your areas, and helping in
more ways than you know.

Our team of instructors was simply perfect. Each instructor came to
share of themselves during Flagger Weekend, selflessly offering their
knowledge and experience with the rest of the community.
Thanks go out to Patric, Xavier, George, Dan, Ben, and Amy.

Our volunteers and contributors are also greatly appreciated. Whether
donating their time, hosting out-of-towners, sending in items for the
giftbags, or making financial contributions, they enriched the
experience for everyone.

And of course, it’s the participants that really make an event like
this really come together and having meaning. Coming to Dallas to
share, learn, connect, and grow. Each of you has added something to
the weekend.

For me, a sense of caring is a big part of any community, and I think
we have a fantastic community. We like to think of this as our tribe.

Welcome to the tribe!

Best regards,
Phillip Bryan
