"There is no coming to consciousness without pain"
Well, I just got here. That's not really true anymore, but all this still feels new and exploration-worthy to me.
I'm not really good with this whole 'talk about myself' affair, so if you'd want to know what, why and how I got into all of this, please read the story of my personal ascension.
I definitely seem to have developed a passion for body suspension. And because this community seems to be THE place to be to live that passion, I decided to join your little world here. I want to learn as much as I can about it.
No Forum - but I like getting messages. And don't be afraid of the tracking thingie; it doesn't bite.

So, my 'premiere' at hosting an IAM suspension event is finally over. What a weekend!
A huge THANK YOU to all who made that possible: all who attended or supported it and especially to the "crew", namely Steve, Benoit, Alice and Marc, who managed to facilitate eleven suspensions that all were a complete success.
A big update and pictures will follow, but for now I`d like to point your attention to the experience Kerstin submitted about her first suspension which she did there Saturday night. Go review it!

My dad was rushed to the hospital tonight - he just collapsed. No diagnosis yet, could be a stroke.
What a shitty way to start retirement - he quit working last month when
he turned 65.
Vacation/Suscon travel plans are on hold for the moment 
edit 09/04:
He's out of the hospital again. It`s still unclear what exactly happened. Most likely
diagnosis seems to be a kind of "mini stroke" called TIA. Further checks/treatment required in the next few days, in a special clinic 90 minutes away.
Since he's not allowed to drive, it's going to be me who'll be taking him places.
I REALLY hope this will clear up as I`m holding a non-refundable and non-exchangeable ticket to leave for beautiful Albuquerque, NM, USA on Thursday to attend Southwest Suscon - something I`ve been looking forward to for over half a year now!
Update 09/13:
so he´s fine again. For the moment, anyway. They`re going to put him on some mild anticonvulsant medication for the next few months.
Anyway, I was amazed at the amount of sympathetic feedback I received from members of this community and woud want to say "thank you" to all who were sending me supportive messages. Much apprechiated!
And I learned that there`s going to be a 2008 edition of southwest suscon, so although I had to miss this trip (and had to forfeit my paid-for-since-February flight ticket) I`ll end this with See you there next year!
