You are invited. The Kurdistan Workers Party will be held this year at Champions Sports Bar (formerly the Copper Penny) in downtown Gilbert, Arizona. (We'll be in the left back bar area away from the TV's where the Gilbert Road and Boating Club will be gathering to watch the Daytona 500.) Show up early for the falafel and spanikopita. Grape leaves, plumb tomatoes, vinegar rice balls, pork and lamb souvlaki, broiled gyros meat and olives on Syrian soft flatbread will also be served. At 3:00 PM, we'll be holding the 'Tatziki Tasting' with prizes for best base yogurt (cow, oxen and sheep), garlic and cucumber. At 4:00 PM, we'll hold the the crowning event, Baklava and the Art of Phyllo. Last year's winner, Maria Rasz-Birkeryat, we'll return with her Sumerian Cottonseed Honey and Almond concoction.
This year's K.P.P. (Kurdistan Workers Party) holds great promise for the best Valley ethno-nationalistic diaspora party of the year. You'll have the opportunity to meet Sulman Bayekir, the former Mayor of Erzurum. Ali Farke Toure will be spinning the vinyl with his Indo-African beats from 1:00 PM until party's end. Belly dancing is encouraged and since the Renaissance Fair is in full swing down in Gold Canyon, a few may be in the area. We hope to see you there and, of course, bring almonds!
