I'm with you! You are NOT 62!!!


:)



*thanks for the kind words, too! I'll come home more often, I promise.* :)

while it was like a rain forest in the place, I still had a great time. Ienjoyed putting faces to names, celebrating Donna'a b-day ( thanks afaig for the seat at your table), and seeing all the fantastic performences. Just wish they has air conditioning in that place. I agree with Nilaja, 45 yes ; 62 - no way in biscuts.

Nilaja, I was referring to the way you danced because you were sooooo hot, mama!


And Dana, you must be speaking in dog years

.w.: I need to stop being such a smart ass. Im sorry. What I meant to say..before my filter broke, was. Thank you so much for the awesome compliment!! ..g.:

Don't stop being a smartass, Nilaja! Your uncensored comments make my day!!

Thank you all for an awesome night! It was great to put more faces to names... A lovely, warm show--in more ways than one! (wiping the sweat from my brow)

See you at the next Sphinx- Mango- Hafla- Flying Mango!

Hi Devona! yeah, ...the heat was unusual.
The AC broke, hence the water on the floor!
As we were leaving the AC guy showed up,
so it should be fixed by next month, it should be fixed by now.

How did your area hold up against the storms that evening?
I know you were concerned.

.w.: ..g.: .w.:
you can send it.
I much rather have info early!
then have to track down information.

I haven't sent out the performer info yet...I will be sending that out on the 17th
I will still send that to you, as the performer info does change from month to month.

please include: 'July Sphinx Hafla' in your email heading so it doesn't get lost.
Thanks!

I just sent you an e-mail! ..g.: .w.:

i could handle a no heat hafla, well while I was dancing. keep me on list and may the goddess protect the a/c.

Hi Zayna,
My student, Belinda, would like to perform in the August hafla if you still have room. I think she will do her sword solo. I'll send you her email address for the performer info. request form.

I didn't even have to cajole her!

Kara

I have just finished sending out the performer information
for the July Sphinx Hafla.
er- Mango? ..l;,
I had thought July would be a small show...I think I'm wrong!?!

..and with Belinda,
all of the August Hafla performing discounts have now been spoken for!

Soon, little one, soon. You must be patient! Tearing down a Sphinx and raising a Mango in its place takes time. Especially when you have to transform from an arid desert to a tropical rain forest. :shades:

Oh, wait. That already happened with the broken air conditioning!

Never mind.

Sphango - it should be Sphango.

Diva, are you going to the "Spango" on July 5th??
I can make it!!!!! It's been forever!!!!

Is there a "Dana" table this time, or does anyone else have room for
a lost soul??????

Pleeeezzzz???

(Zayna, I wish I'd known I would have begged for a dance spot! Do you have a waiting list for openings? .w.: )

I'm sorry, but all I can think about when I hear Mango is Chris Kattan's SNL character:


Probably not what the owners have in mind, but I can't help where my mind goes, now can I?

Well, you could merge "Mango" and "Bellydance" into "Bango" but somehow I don't quite think that will work. . ...l;, :Aconfused:

It has been too long!

Hey all! I am so glad to hear the a/c will be fixed for july hafla. It was quite warm last time, I can only imagine how the dancers felt! It didn't stop them from giving their all though, it was a great show.

so will it be sphinx or mango or sphango - I guess it will be a surprise upon my arrival <grin>
