Meow from Colorado! It is beautiful here! The weather is clear and I missed being somewhere where they say "ya know you are going the right directions if the mountains are on your left"

Shimmy for the Cure was fun-

Thursday I got some really great henna! I gots me an amazing fishy from Henna by Anita of Hummingbird Henna Design~ Dharma got an amazing back piece, and Selayma got her foot and leg wrapped and all of them turned a really beautiful dark brown instead of orange when it dried! www.hummingbirdhenna.com

Dharma went squirrelly about taking a Break for Winchell's Doughnuts www.winchells.com/ they do have tasty fritters... frit ters...

Friday night we were taken to a beautiful hafla hosted by Raqs Sayyal! The venue had a stage, but was really vivacious and fun! A overgrown wall with billions of tiny lights.... and posters all over the place and statues out the waaaaazooooo! LOVED IT! BTW.... the Vegan Custard is to die for!! www.mercurycafe.com

Saturday we were at the Dayton Consistory which is always a treasure trove of mysterious symbols and fabulous archetecture. The stage is amazingly beautiful and the lighting and sound is amazing!
~`TribalTique taught a great combo class, started out with crazy and fun yoga stuff- I just lay on the floor.and watch with awe! (pretending to be doing cobra of course).

~ MMMMMM Tokyo Joes... Mahi Mahi noodle Bowls... www.tokyojoes.com/
~ Then all the nuts who came out for my layering class were a riot! I laughed soo much, and we still managed to get ourselves through all the great concepts and movements. Bad Monkeys Yay!

Saturday nights show Featured Kara Nomadica and they are soo amazing! And really great to dance to! They pitched in and improved a Cane piece drum solo! I wish we could use the harry potter chimney to bring them to Ohio!!! www.karanomadica.com Great CD!!! Soo fun to open dance to as well!!! Let's see... Dharma did a very special dance... They are going to sell the show video to the general public... muahahahahaaaaa!
~After the show Rafia lead us to Racines..www.racinesrestaurant.com/ mmmmm... Monte Cristo.... There was much throwing of stuff... and food art. "Did YOU find something tasty on the menu???"

Sunday Selayma taught a Sword workshop (she was me teacher... yummy!) It was funny to watch her get the students turned around facing the back and be giving instructions where they couldn't see her... there is no quick way to slyly turn your head around to look back with a big honking weapon on your head... endless fun!
...er skipped lunch... how did that happen?
Then my choreo seminar. Geez, who decided to make us work... still had a great F'n time! The mystic touch routine... we were definately touched.... I love you bad monkey nuts!!!

Tonight we are going out peoples watching and general schinanniganning.... I think they decided on the Church... er goth night.. Dharma, Pheonix, Selayma + Tasty treats... Why not? www.coclubs.com/church/churchMain.html


Dharma has been an excellent travelling companion...... . Selayma has more reasons to love corn dogs... 1 Pickle and and rosemary potatoes demonstrate body piercing techniques quite well... there really is a Mary Poppins purse... and Dharma is... and I photos to prove it.... This has been hilarious!!! Coming home in a few days snakes, monkeys, and Donkeys!!!
