Fridays at Heaven

We are usually at Heaven on Friday. I've had no luck posting the latest flier, but here's one that works OK.

there's a new video promo that shows one of us at the 1:00 minute mark too, at

bellydance sandwich

well, that's what it feels like.

yesterday (1st bread slice): we debuted our new steampunk number at Noc NOc last night, complete with new costumes. it's a flimflam story of romance, dangled bait, and betrayal, to the tune of Raquy and the Cavemen. on my way to pick Xtina up on our way to the club, a woman ran out into the street waving a set of jumper cables. so i stopped and helped her and her friend jump their car, all the while wearing my stage makeup and mini top hat and ugly, 2nd-hand gig overcoat over the rest of my getup. hopefully i made 2 new converts by helping them out :-)

today (sandwich filling): day off from work and troupe practice. except for troupe-trip packing duties.

tomorrow (2nd bread slice): we leave for Tempe, AZ, and the Pharos Live! festival at ass-crack o'clock in the morning (that's 4:30 AM for me) to spend the weekend teaching and performing such things as ... our new steampunk number to Raquy and the Cavemen--live! they'll be there too in the 105-degree heat. at this point, i can't wait for 105-degree heat, seeing as how it was colder here yesterday than it was in Siberia. no kidding.

i'm packing Belly Tarot props, 2 costumes, practicewear, and whatever else i can fit in 1 suitcase, which is all we can check for free these days. some of it will go in a carry-on, but Kendra and i figure that we'll have to wear our steampunk hats on the plane for the sake of packing room. i'm guessing that we'll be the only ones wearing top hats on our 7:15 AM flight. one of the props that i'm packing is a glass candle lantern; i think i'll use the empty space inside to put panties in. can't waste all that perfectly good space!

at least we don't have to lug an iron cauldron and 4 swords, like we did when we went to Gothla in L.A. in February. my only prop for the steampunk number is a parasol--hooray!

so it's almost a case of bellydance yesterday, bellydance tomorrow, but never bellydance today...
that's the sammich.
