Picking up Luna didn't go very smoothly, she was already getting in a bit late (10:45pm?) but was delayed somewhere in Seattle when there was an issue with a bridge. They ended up taking everyone off the trains and putting them on busses....so she got in a lot later than she was supposed to. At least she was able to let me know what was going on because the guy at the train station didn't seem to know anything other than it was ~super delayed~ and posted a 1-800 number for Amtrak....
I actually had to fill him in.
I was glad when she made it in okay and we were lucky enough to catch what was probably the last Skytrain and bus. We got home around 1:30am and I tried to crash as fast as possible. I'd packed up all my costume stuff earlier that day so I'd have a lot less to do.
Didn't sleep well because it was fucking cold and then that ended up making my legs really hurt, so I woke up 2 hours before I'd planned. Fine fine, that just meant I could take a LONG HOT shower....something I hadn't had in a few days because along with no heat....there hadn't been hot water either for some damn reason -_-
But no luck, I had to have yet another cold shower. That worried me because my body was so stiff and sore....and I had a long day ahead of me.
Luna came with me to the dance studio, we had to be there for 2pm for 1hr of rehearsal. Mostly to work on the end to Black Venom (which for REASONS.....hadn't really been finished) but we worked on the other routines as well. Then at 3, we walked down the hill to the Columbia Theater for 2hrs of dress rehearsal.
XD
I would have prefered to wait until late but had a full face of makeup and fake lashes done before I'd left my place, the dress rehearsals were being filmed so they asked us to be ready. Costume changes had to be so fast and that was exhausting, thankfully there was more time during the actual show since the numbers I was in weren't right after one another o_o
Doors were at 7, show started at 8. My first song was right before intermission. It was Glory Box, I was nervous as hell but a little less than last time. I was pissed at myself because right in the beginning, I made a mistake. I can't remember what, only that I did it. I had everything memorized so I'm guessing it was just nerves. Halfway through the song, I'm not sure what happened but suddenly I was like....fuck it, I can do this...and all nervousness melted away. Of course right after that moment my knees decided to let me know they were close to done and started getting shaky. I'm hoping it wasn't noticeable.
Changed into my gear for Scum of the Earth and did that okay, I was a little off balance (rawr) and my timing wasn't perfect but it went better than I expected.
Last song of the night was Black Venom....I'm sort of dreading watching that video whenever its posted...:X its probably terrible.
Anyway, here's some video's that have been posted so far. Some are just the dress rehearsals but its better than nothing.

It was a great night ^_^, took me a few days to recover and my knees were bruised to shit again...but SO WORTH IT. Also made friends with one of the amazing bellydancers, she offered to trade me lessons for photos~! Score XD
