2022 … — WELCOME 2023!! *ANOTHER YEAR OF LOVE AND GOOD KARMA*!
Virtual item / Hybrid / IGWTLI publishing
Description

Yet another year. On the occasion of marking this strange, sad, overloaded, yet fantastic year — a year of ambivalence — and welcoming a new one, filled with hopes and aims for joy, pleasure, and freedom: LOVE for 2022 (absolutely no order of appearance, some with several overlapping hats and occasions, not to mention friends):

And you are many more being part of the machinery; working at the venues; volunteers; borrowing us poles, hands, and other equipment; creating the links, making the important introductions; the ongoing and in the loop — you know who you are. Ever grateful.

ALL A KIND OF MAGIC.


Love,

Karmaklubb*
