Well, I WAS feeling pretty fucking excited about it up until a few minutes ago, when I found out the guest list was full. I was sent an invitation through email on Tuesday night and I responded to it on Wednesday. I was expecting to get directions emailled to me today.

If this is to be such a small, intimite event, then why didn't you guys just hand pick people and invite them by phone? Or at least you could've sent everyone who RSVP'S an automated email letting know if they were on the guest list or not. How disapointing.

I always look forward to Circle parties, because they are a natural anti-depressent for me. Circle parties, when they are at their best, remind me of how the world could be, and should be, and will be. And they remind me that I'm not alone. There is a feeling of connection that I get at Circle parties that I have rarely experienced in any other setting. Sometimes I feel very much at home at Circle. Other times I feel like a trespasser.
Sometimes I feel tremendous acceptance, other times I feel like I'll never be good enough to belong....that I'll always be on the margins.

Since first being introduced to Circle years ago, I have been thinking about the power of circles in the world. There are so many closed circles...the world needs more open circles. This city needs more open circles. It needs a 24 hour Rainbow-style "Welcome Home" camp. Every time I move back to Boston, it is so hard to re-establish a sense of community. I spend all my energy simply looking for the openings....trying to find places to squeeze in. I wish the entry points were more obvious. There are so many people in this city like myself who are starving for community and a sense of belonging. So many people spend their whole lives fighting for something that should be our birthright.

The world needs more open-circles, and fewer inner-circles.

I just posted some pictures from LOG on the tribe for you guys. Enjoy!!
