Rogarian Life

Among Orkestar Bez Ime's International friends in attendance were Austrians, Germans, Serbians, Romanians, Poles and Greeks. The members of OBI were most happy to see the Supreme Vulgar, Daryl, from Rogaria's surrounding country of Vulgaria and salutations were plentiful with Italians, Slovaks and Czechs.

Although Rogarians rarely give their national identity away while in disguise, OBI vocalist, Natalie Nowytski, exercised the ancient custom of enticing visiting male dancers to lay food and beverages at her feet as they enter their dressing room. She was very successful.

Another ancient ritual came to surface the final moments of the festival as the last strains of Orkestar Bez Ime's Bulgarian music echoed in the atrium.

OBI's new friend, the chieftain of alienvisitors (sometimes disguised as a very large Fiberglas bovine from Wisconsin), took human shape to eat the mandatory three pieces of Birthday cake with a Rogarian ceremonial fork to officially close the weekend.

OBI in Wisconsin. April 2-3 (no joke..), 2005

OBI just returned from astounding their fans, once again, in a fabulous performance at the Fox Valley International Folk Dance Party hosted by the Folk Dancers of Fox Valley.

Pravos flew thick and heavy, and the strains of Csardas filled the air...

The road trip home took an extraterrestial turn when members of OBI encountered a spaceship in a Wisconsin pasture where cow were busy turning raw material into cheese curds.



OBI members Dee Langley and Natalie Nowytski were able to be photographed with the chieftain of the alienvisitors (cleverly disguised as a giant cow) and one of the alien starship crew members.



Tune in again as OBI takes you on another excitingcruise through our part of the universe...
