ah........
Jun. 9th, 2007 03:24 pmI had such a good time dancing last night--it really brought home for me that I so much more enjoy doing my gothic belly dancing for a gothic audience, as opposed to a predominantly belly dance audience. They just get it, and the only thing you have to worry about is being entertaining, not scene politics or belly dance police or whathaveyou. Between the audience and Curse's drumming, I just felt like I was riding a wave of energy through my performance. Thanks to everyone for making that possible, with special thanks to Curse :-)
A moment that was not at all funny at the time but is pretty darn funny in retrospect was when I got on stage, and the music started (early, I might add)--no, it was not Monica Richards' voice that emerged from the speakers, but Sami Aly's voice singing Si Abdo! Frantic arm waving at dj ensued! I had brought the right cd with me, but I didn't realize there were two cds in my bag and I gave him one without looking at it, assuming it was the right one. DJ was a little cranky about it and I felt very stupid and unprofessional, but afterwards I apologized and he apologized so all was good and we agreed sometimes that's just the nature of show business. Later I could laugh at the thought of my prancing out there to Si Abdo with my meleya and confusing the hell out of everybody.
Today I relax all day. I'll watch the Belmont (kind of rooting for Hard Spun because he's always the bridesmaid and never the bride, but also rooting for Rags to Riches because I'll always root for a filly and also for Curlin because I would like to see a superhorse in the making. Hard Spun is in the gate next to another speed horse though and I think that might wreck his chances, we'll see), and then later go out to the Bats in the Belfry show and enjoy some drinks and be entertained by other people doing their artistic thing.
So far, this has been just a perfect weekend...
