HELP! TRIBAL LONDON TICKETS,DINNERS, AND EVENTS FOR TWO (OR ONE) FOR SALE!

Audrey — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:45:41 GMT

Well, I can't believe I have to do this. I've never had to re-sale my tickets frantically at the last minute, but here goes. Due to my school (it's the always the ones nearest to you that do you in, isn't it?) changing crucial deadlines, I have been forced to cancel my trip to Raqs this year. If ANYONE WANTS RAQS BRITANNIA TICKETS,DINNERS, EVENTS FOR TWO OR ONE PERSONS PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP! I realize the probability of this is probably low, but please, let's make a deal or something. I'm American, and converting these British pounds into dollars is really awful for me. I was informed that I could sell the tickets, and notify 'Jesse Stanbridge'. BELOW IS A COPY OF EVERYTHING I'VE PURCHASED Items ordered: Buffet - Saturday (First Sitting) Buffet - Saturday (First Sitting) Saturday Night - Show and Band (Balcony) Saturday Night - Show and Band (Balcony) Weekend Ticket: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Weekend Ticket: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Workshop: BO1 Every Shimmy in the Book - Bozenka Workshop: MO1 Slow and Strong - Moria Workshop: SO1 Bellynesian - Sonia Workshop: SU4 Format Drills that Kill - Suhaila Salimpour Total cost: £181.00

I have to say, already posted this blog to my myspace, but here goes: My module 2 assessment went well! I'm so glad that that phase is done! Now, Toby and I are about 3/4 of the way done with our MA's! We're on a 2-day vacation of pure slothfulness, and it's great!

almost reached the halfway...

Whew. That's right. Toby and I have almost reached the halfway point with our MA's. Our stuff is all officially due April 22nd. If you'd like to see what I've been doing, I'm starting up a blog on livejournal. I'll post it when I have all the details ready. In the meantime, we have an appointment at CreativitiWorks, which is an art business 'incubator'. There is this awesome competition, 'The Blueprint Competition' which I think we have a good chance of winning! The money we recieve will fund Epic Arts Jewelry and Metalsmithing on a much larger scale! ( I suppose I should be posting this on the Epic Arts J&M page, but oh well!) Speaking of which, I am working very hard to have my web page up and running by April. It looks like the U of Sunderland has once again misplaced my funding so, the website may not happen--at least in its entirety. Ooh, I can't wait though! It's going to feature some of my most innovative design work as well as an updated portfolio of my paintings and drawings. I tell you, this is so obnoxious not being 'web design' saavy. And back to the MA update...like I said, we're nearing the 'halfway' mark. My book is coming along, albeit slower than I would like. I'd like to give details, but I don't feel like Tribe is the place to do it. Like I said, I'll let you know when I get the blog together. Right now, I'm just focusing intensely on the design and layout (and condensation of information) of my book. Sigh. It just seems like my brain won't kick it into gear fast enough sometimes! It seems lately that I've been figuring out things just a bit too late. On the cusp of late. The B-vitamins and cod liver oil are, I think, helping. I highly recommend such supplements when your brain is fogging up. Ah well. I think that's all I have to say today.

Website?

I know. I need a proper website. This is itching me like...scabies. Yeah. Scabies. Unfortunately, I am not web-saavy with that sort of thing, but trust that it WILL be happening before July. The MA comes first. Must conquer. Toby and I have a lot of projects and collaborations with other artists simmering on the back burner; names cannot be disclosed at this point, but communications are going well, and things are forming up. Truly, I'm finding that one has to be more and more like a tree with roots in every part of the soil. Thankfully, the world is a very small place, and it gets easier the more you do it. I am working on a fresh batch of exciting Erotic art, some of which will get submitted to excitingly prestigious competitions. Oh, of course Toby didn't mention this, but he will be competing in the NY Couture Jewelry competition. Yeah tootse. That is one high-profile sweetie to win. And he will. Because his work is awesome. I don't know if this is entirely relevant, or what, but I email-met Ruben Van Rompaey! (I will spell that right, I promise.) This was some weeks ago, but really, I must say, what a pleasant and kindly person he certainly seems! It all started on Magnatune. I picked his latest album totally randomly, and was overwhelmed. While I was in the spell of his spectacular grooves, I found his contact info, and emailed him immediately. God his music is so incredible. It's unlike any drumming I've ever heard before, and I had to cut the email short because, frankly, I had to get up and dance. I haven't felt that vitality in me in a very long time, and it was beautiful. Thank you Ruben. You're great! And I'll leave it at that folks. And now to blog my myspace...

nothing much

Audrey — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:23:42 GMT

umm...I don't really blog on this site. Doesn't seem much a point to doing it, really. But I figured I'd write this bit, just to make things more fresh. Still doing to MA thing right now...in the thick of it, in fact. Scared? Yes. Freaked out, all the above, you know it. But, you have to keep going. Even if there's that awful doubt. I am making progress, but not fast enough. Sigh.

Tribal London!

Yep. My first UK bellydance event, and I'm way excited! I just secured my tickets today (after much hassle) but now I'm home free! Now, the only thing left is to settle on a song, and work on my bellydance outfit. There are some photos of it up in my gallery, but even then, they're not done. I have some plans...
