And two announcements for your amusement, information, or to help you procrastinate a little longer from some important chores like mowing the lawn, brushing your teeth or playing online backgammon:
1. The Singin’ Sisters Women’s Chorus is open for new singers. If you are interested in joining us, please let me know. No auditions required; if you want to sing, you can! We meet for practices every Thursday morning from 9:30 to 11:30 near Old Town Fort Collins. We’ll keep the group open for the next couple of weeks and then shut it down again to prepare for a performance.
2. WARNING, WARNING: If attendance at the Fort Collins Tuesday evening dance stays low, I will be discontinuing it after September. Same goes for Studio Soma. If you enjoy the dances and want to keep them an option, please do not tell me, show me! (I feel like Eliza Doolittle).
3. I just thought I’d sneak this one in here too… I have another CD for y’all “Chant Disc Volume II.” It’s similar in rough recording style to the first one. There are 35 tracks on it and I’m handing it out on a donation basis. Eventually I’ll get the mp3’s up on the website so you can just download them, but for now, you can take a disc.
4. No more announcements, just the usual wrap-it-up spiel. Call or e-mail me for more information, directions, to RSVP for rituals, or to report UFO sightings near Greeley. Not cows, UFOs. (970)227-5275 or rain@trigoddess.org.
Watch out for falling leaves!

Hey, I heard a report on NPR about how cows align themselves facing magnetic North or South when grazing and resting. Cool, huh? They’re gonna put magnets on their heads next to see if it messes them up! Why do we (humans) always have to mess with stuff?
