No, Khafif won't be at the Waterfront this Saturday, but we might be back on Sept. 14. The whole deal is part of the Sidewalk Art Project. It's going to be a long weekend with Labor Day but I have nothing fantastic planned, except maybe the fetish ball.

So, the Waterfront gig went pretty well until it started pouring down rain. There was not as much foot traffic in front of the Starbucks as we would have hoped, but it was fun and good experience. People seemed interested and appreciative. I don't know yet if we are doing it again next Saturday.

Okay so I got tired of fat kitties and went back to sandbox at night. I tend to re-arrange my furniture a lot, too.

It's on for this Saturday...Khafif (see pic below) are busking at the Waterfront in Homestead, PA from noon-6 pm, probably in front of Starbucks!!! Stop by and say hello. If all goes well, we may be doing this on a regular basis.

And Finally, Some Pix from Pennsic:

Here's a nice shot of the whole troupe after our performance at the ME Dance Expo.

Here's everyone from the "Tunisian Tea."

Back from Pennsic, prematurely. Had to cut it short because of some domestic problems. I was really really really having a good time too, but that is the way things work for me. It can't possibly last if I was enjoying it, but I really don't want to go into details here. This year, Pennsic was very different for me because I brought my violin. My group, Khafif, was invited to play at various camps each night and we became quite popular. So many people came up to me to express their appreciation--it was a wonderful feeling. My choli class went well too--it was my first time teaching at Pennsic. I had many more students than what I was prepared for, and ended up with a notebook full of addresses--a "mailing list"--of people who still need a copy of my handout--and I will follow through on that ASAP. Suffice it to say, I was not planning on being back home this soon. When I have the energy, I will post some pictures.

PennsicBlog!

Woohoo! I'm blogging from Pennsic, but paying by the minute so this will be brief. Having a good time. Did lots of stuff, ate lots of food, been hot as heck, did great at the Middle Eastern Dance Expo, played out at haflas almost every night to very appreciative audiences. Can't wait to upload the pix, so stay tuned!!!
