The MAMA LIA Art Walk was awesome in a lot of ways. First off, it was killer to have such a responsive audience. A lot of performing our type of dance is dependant on audience energy; the more involved and attentive the audience is, the more we enjoy ourselves, and that shows very clearly in our dancing. I've danced at shows where the audience is ( Read more... )

Saturday's performance for the Lakewood Art Walk went wonderfully! The hostess and owner was wonderful, and enthusiastic as all get out. She gathered all of her Greek family and friends, who tipped us like mad! It was the first time I've been showered with money and had it shoved in my hip belt.

In other news, life proceeds at a breakneck speed. The winter holidays are almost upon us, and thankfully the shopping is damn near done. Warning, gift list ahead!

OK, then...

Jer: A totally awesome gift! I got him the Mr. Nancy scent from BPAL. Profits go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, so it's a good gift and ( Read more... )

I'm now on the upswing, which means I'm clogged all to hell. I hate travelling with a cold. My sense of balance is so out of whack that public transit becomes a strange and unpleasant ride. It doesn't help that my route travels directly through the worst construction in Downtoan ( Read more... )
