The Tribe is Gathering


The Kadizzle tribe is vast and far spread. Erin just called form London, Meg is in New York City, and five of the Quinn clan will be united by Saturday. Chief trouble maker has come from the Dakotas, Melissa will represent the tribes of the Northwest from the Portland area, and the West Virginia, Pennsylvania group will be represented by Suzie,and Louise. It is hard to tell if this gathering represents the Indian style, or the Mafia style organization the best.

The women will embark shortly on a fribble hunt to Jerome. In the old days women went out to hunt fruits and berries and other small edible items that often were colorful. Now that the tribe has a reliable source of food the women just go out and hunt for brightly colored, useless, overpriced objects that will keep evil spirits at bay. Every tourist town has a vast selection of fribbles. Fribbles come in all sizes shapes and art forms. Pottery is a common fribble genre in the Southwest. The always essential and popular Indian jewelry is also a necessity for anyone traveling in the area. Lord Kadizzle suspects Indian jewelry is now being imported from China. It would be interesting to know how much local art is from China. China must be very close. One thing the Chinese have perfected is churning out mass oil paintings. On television they have been advertising original art from seven dollars to fifty four dollars. You cannot get this high quality art anywhere but the exclusive art galleries that seasonally crop up in the Best Western Hotel.
