Hafla Jan 25 at CFWR

What's the final word on this? Rachel, are you still able to drive? I can meet at Melanie's ahead of time so you only would have to make one stop downtown. Her street is much less ghetto than mine.

Who all is coming/meeting there?!?

Ooh, this is a fun chance to get to wear some costume pieces that don't normally fit with what we usually do...

    Yes. I'm in for medieval bagpipes and drumming. It starts at 7:30. What time should I pick you girls up at Melanie's? And you'll have to remind me of the exact address. What fun!?! See you tonight!

      I'll send you a text chica.

      Wanna pick us up at 7:15 or so? I don't think we need to get there at 7:30 on the dot. Then again I've never been to one of their haflas so I have no idea what goes on.

      We can talk more tonight at class.
      Amanda, you want to jump in on this?

        Yes! Just let me know! I'm not sure if it will be easier for me to drive separately or to meet at your house. I'm coming from Loveland. Is your house on the way or no?

          Nope, I'm downtown and CWR is up 75 at St. Bernard. Probably not so convenient, but you're welcome to come meet my dogs anyway.

            i would love to, but am not sure if timing wise I would be able to make it home from work, poop and pee the dog, feed the dog, change AND made it downtown... :) will all depend on what time the man will be home.

    Is everybody dressing festively? Sounds great. I just didn't want to be the only one in our crew to be geared up.

      I was just about to ask the same question!

      So what are you bitches wearing?

        Some melos most likely, dance top, some jewelry.....nothing extreme, just festive. There will certainly be people there in their full glory. I was thinking tribal casual.

            YAY KIM!!

            We're looking forward to it, I've never been to a hafla there and it's such a cool space.
            Should be fun.

            Yep, I'm going for tribal casual as well.
            See ya'll tomorrow.

              Tribal Casual it is! I don't really feel like dealing with a coin bra on a night that's supposed to be just dancing for fun. :o)

              I may wear harem pants! Remember those?

                What a fun time! Thanks a bunch for driving, Rachel. You and Amanda did a great job cueing. Mellie and I were totally impressed.

                I'm up for this event any time.

                  I'll DD as much as possible while I'm pregnant as long as I can get a ride sometimes after I have the babe. I have to bring Tess sometime soon, too! I had so much fun dancing!! Cueing has never been so enjoyable. I had a private lesson with Katy last night and worked out the few kinks I had in my head. I actually cued for Katy and I! It was a first for me, and I wasn't even nervous after our Friday night fun. It always feels like the pressure is on when cueing for you troupe gals, so thank you thank you for your encouragement and acceptance!

                      Hey ladies! I second everything Robyn said, what a fun night and what a great job of cueing and going with the flow. You both rocked it.

                      I'd love to go to the next hafla, but it's the night before a big burlesque gig so I just wasn't sure if I could commit to being there. Who knows, I might be stuck at home sewing like mad or just wanting to take it easy in general. But as of right now, I will definitely go if the schedule allows.

                        I would be up for going!
                        Chris is oot for a show so I will be left to my own devices that night anyway. :)

                        I had a lot of fun, thanks for being so kind! When I got home I said, "I'm going to move my long run to Sunday morning." For some reason, I woke up early Saturday and thought, "Nah, I'll just do it now and get it out of the way..." I was so tired, it had to be from dancing the night before!

                          oh yeah, I have to second the "cueing for the troupe gals" makes me so nervous!

                          I go to cue something and the whole time I'm thinking..."Shit, did I just screw that up? Did they get that cue? Are they following? OH my god. I just forgot what move I was going to do next. Are they going to think I'm retarded because I just went to hip ups? Ack!"

                            Um... most of us feel that way, most of the time.
                            No worries!

                              ha! Totally, Mel.

                              Just rock it and everyone will follow. Cueing is always kind of a mind game...especially when you think you're just gonna show up and hang out and dance somewhere and then you're all of a sudden performing.

                              And actually I won't be able to make it Feb 15th. It totally slipped my mind that that's my Valentine's steak dinner sexy fun fun party time. Have fun without me!
