Well, here we are fast approaching Houston Pagan Pride 2007 and things are grooving along! First and foremost, we have a new local coordinator! Our beloved Slinky has become so involved with being regional coordinator for the Pagan Pride Project that she decided the local event deserved to have someone whose time wouldn't be so split. So it is that Rev. Erin Forestwoman, formerly our Vendor Coordinator, has become the Local Coordinator for Houston Pagan Pride.

To take her place as Vendor Coordinator, CMA vending guru Armand has stepped up to the plate. We also have some other new folks on the crew, including myself as the official Houston Pagan Pride Web Witch. I will have a whole list of the new contact information as soon as our new domain is set up. (That's the other news coming.

)
Well, with so much new stuff going on, how can we not have a new and spiffy website? Dear Slinky confessed she hated the Geocities site because it was horrible and cranky to deal with. So what to do? First of all, hand the site management over to me.

I handle a 250+ page art site just fine, so a few pages that don't need near constant upgrades year round shouldn't be a problem. Add to that the fact that I'm an artist and that equals new custom graphics (some of which you are now previewing in this blog) and a whole new site design overall. I'm also adding new features, like this blog, that the old site didn't have. All of this will be hosted on server space provided by our own tech wizard Jerald and fall under the new domain of HoustonPaganPride.org. It's a work in progress at the moment and will go live as soon as I have all of the required information for the pages and the FTP info is in my hot little hands.
We've had our first meeting and I will keep things updated as more information comes in. Vending spaces are already all taken. We only have 8-9 spaces maximum at our venue and we try to have a variety of vendor types to keep from having to much of one thing. So if you missed the chance, please try to get in on it next year!
Stay tuned Houston area Pagans and prepare for a new year of Pagan Pride!
