We're all working for the Pharaoh

Jan 04, 2011 11:23

My fingers are all swollen from the weather, I sniffle a lot and my thighs are constantly cold. Otherwise I manage to bundle pretty sufficiently. The gloves are an issue because then I can't do things like use my phone, book, metrocard, etc, so I end up taking them off a lot. My nose is a lost cause because I hate the way it feels when I wrap my ( Read more... )

Wait, speak to me of ECD -- where are you dancing? ECD may be a way we can actually run into each other again in some lifetime.

Oh my goodness, that would be fabulous. I dance with Country Dance NY, who meet on Tuesday nights from 7-10ish, at the Phillip Coltoff Center on Sullivan just above Bleeker. http://www.cdny.org/

If it helps, I sometimes persuade Lindsay to come and Rose Fox is a regular!

Also you should come because of me! ...or dancing. :) We have a Playford ball every spring that so far I've always managed to be out of the country for, a good newbie/skills session from 7-7:30 every night, people who are very good about asking new people to dance and even a couple queer people. (Well, at least one who isn't Rose or myself.)

It's...$15 for non-members, $12 for members, free if you're a member and you volunteer and the first time you come you get a pass to come back for free once. Which I guess means the first two times are really $7.50 each:)

/gush:)

Okay, you'll see me next Tuesday. I need to connect you with Scottish Country and/or my Regency people.

I think I went to the ECD Tuesday once and it was very formal/quiet and I was like, rampaging through the dances.

Eee. Things that are entirely exciting. We'll probably be doing dinner before hand if you're interested in joining us (do you have my email??), which is generally Rose, Linds, Miriam, her boyfriend Alex and sometimes my friend Sara but she doesn't always get out of work in time. I often do the beginners/skills workshop, but don't have to if you want more partners to start with ( ... )

BE THE SOUND CHAIR ZOMG

And then I won't make you be my ball co-chair, so net you'd have to do a lot less work!

I'm actually thinking of dropping my CDNY volunteering for the spring season, because I've got so much other stuff to do this spring and summer. It's hard to strike a balance.

The way Efraim put it to me is that we'd all like to have a different sound chair, but do any of us want it enough to be the one to tell C that he isn't?? Especially considering he's liable to just leave the sandbox altogether and we don't really have enough people to replace him...at all. So maybe next year or something.

Hah! Ball co-chair. I wouldn't have the faintest clue what to do.

...Actually. That sounds remarkably like organising a party. Which I'm very good at. Hmm.

It is, in fact, exactly like organizing a party. Which you're very good at.

Here, I'll make you a deal: if you become sound chair, I'll apprentice for sound to fill the gap left by C stalking off in a huff.

Now you're just being all temptyface. Can I hold on to this offer? My thought right now is that I get "certified" this month and then have the spring season to learn the ropes and subvert the system from the inside (or prove that I'm reliable) and then perhaps I'll take over in the fall? (That way, too, perhaps we can do a "C, everyone has to have a chance! You had yours! Now we have to cycle through!:) I also want a little while as a lead to see if I can scare up any recruits who actually *want* to do sound, if they didn't have to apprentice under C. :)
