Greetings Everyone!

Allow for me to offer my Review of Wild Heart Affair II ~ 25 May 2002,

This year was my first to attend, and, I must say that plans are already in the works to attend next years' event! The evening/weekend went by all too quickly!

First off, allow me to both commend and thank Daniel, the events organizer. Your diligent hard work and months of planning paid off, the evening was a huge success! Excellent planning, food.. drink, entertainment, And, to Erica, the Mistress of the Evening, whom did an excellent job of meeting, and mingling with everyone as well as overseeing the evening's festivities ran smoothly.

Many thanks to the band, "Rumours, A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac", their sound is fantastic. They were stupendous!!!

Many thanks to the Regency who allowed us the room to hold our event there for the evening. The rooms' ambience, design, history was spectacular and all added to the evenings mystic feel. And, many thanks to those whom worked the event, from the booths, to the drink servers.

This evening was truly wondrous and magickal for me,

I met so many wonderful, down to earth people this evening! Susan, and her husband, Tom, traveled all the way from Boston, Mass!! (makes my seven hour drive seem like a blink of an eye! heh heh!!!) Susan is such a doll! And her husband too for attending such an important event for her/us Wildhearts! Connie and her daughter, Amy. It was my pleasure to have met both of you well, Let's do keep in touch! And, John, whom asked me to dance to Landslide, many thanks for that lovely dance! That meant a great deal to me!

There were a few that I missed seeing there that night, however... if you are reading this... be rest assured, I was not that fearful wallflower! heh heh!!!

The initial dance was to naturally, Rhiannon, (thank you Sue for encouraging me to get up and dance!) Where I danced and flowed on that dance floor,although.. I must admit, in that I was quite nervous! The band proceeded to perform many songs throughout the evening. Sounding wonderful!

I purchased a beautiful black, beaded chiffon full-length shawl by "Sisters of The Moon". Their work is exquisite! Their website just does not do their work justice! Simply gorgeous!!! www.sistersofthemoon.com

However, as the evening progressed I proceeded to dance the night away,the band then performed my signature song, Sisters Of The Moon, This, was indeed my highlight of the night,where I felt freest, My feet were guiding me all over that dance floor, dancing, flowing, losing myself completely and becoming a part of the song! Many thanks also to Bear for creating the lovely Rhiannon dress for me... it was beautiful!

There were raffles held throughout the evening, came close a few times... but that's alright, Those that won were very excited! Each of us were given an excellent CD, entitled Dreams and Chains... I listened to this CD several times on the drive home! Thank you for this gift!

There was Stevie karaoke,Stevie best look-alike contest, Again, upon Sue's recommendation, I entered, which was a lot of fun! Thanks for the loner of your hat Sue, Congrats to the gal that won, you looked great! Incidentally, she and two other gals actually did sing, live! Great job!

Then,just as quickly as the day arrived, the evening was over, seemingly like an instant.

Daniel was indeed the most splendid, gracious host ensuring everyone was having an enjoyable time. Thank you Denise for helping with corning both Erica, and Daniel for pictures for me! I pray that they come out!! Thank you also to Daniel's assistant whom was video taping the entire event (Apologies, as your name escapes me at the moment) Great job of working the room! And yes, Stevie will be sent a copy of the video! The evening was complete with Stevie birthday cake in honour of her 54th birthday! Happy Birthday Stevie!

Again, it was wonderful to finally meet with some of you, whose posts I have been reading for quite sometime now. Also met another gentleman by the name of Daniel as well, very nice indeed!

The people of San Francisco are the friendliest people around! To the city that never sleeps! Although the drive was long, it was worth traveling every mile! Next year I will plan a few extra days for additional site seeing.

This much is certain... this lady enjoyed herself immensely! The evening... time spent in San Francisco was truly magickal for me. Those memories shall remain with me for an eternity.

It was wonderful to get together with everyone, and Daniel, I very much look forward to attending next years event was well!

Safe travels to those on your way home...

... black moons in those eyes of hers made more sense to me... she was dark at the top of the stairs and she called to me... Sisters Of The Moon
