Thread: Too early to ask who's attending Spring Caravan?

Is it too early to ask who's going to Spring Caravan in June? I was lucky enough to attend my first Rakkasah last October and have been waiting for Spring Caravan ever since. I'll be there Friday through closing time on Sunday, and I'll be taking at least one workshop every day. ..g.:

So who else is going? I'd love to meet some fellow Bhuzzers!

Miranda

I'll be there on Sunday. Dancing with Pangia.

Hi, Im going to be at the Rakkasah from Thursday Morning through Sunday, This is the first year taking workshops every day! Staying at the Somerset...Cant wait! Looking foward to some awesome after dance and drumming parties! Lets meet up !! Auntie and Shems, will look foward to seeing you dance, Shems! Auntie, what workshop/workshops are you taking? Speak to you soon. Hope to meet other Buzzers there excited to meet you all!

Hi again. On Thursday, Im taking Kaeshi Belly Popping workshop, and Suhalia Traditional Tribal in the evening. I may take Rashid Thursday morning if I can get there early enough. Friday Im taking Jamilla Belly Locks and Suhalia Lucious Layering. Saturday Im taking Rashid, Rashlamar Combos and Sunday Im taking Suhalia and Jamilia Format Combos. Ill need a good rest on Monday, so I better take off work, LOL! Let me know what your taking, Buzzers. Excited to meet you!

Hi, Shems, Sukira!

Shems - Can't wait to see you dance! How exciting!

Sukira - Yay, we'll be in two workshops together! Suhalia's "Lucious Layering" on Friday afternoon, and Suhalia and Jamilia's "Format Combos with Locks and Pops" on Sunday. (Saturday, I'll be in Asharah's "Pops, Locks and Tick Tocks" class.) Totally cool!!

Hi Auntie...Thats great. I know where the good food is around there, a great diner selling healthy food! Are you staying at the hotel or are you local?

I'm supposed to dance Sunday w/Djinn, and bunking w/ you Saturday night Shems? We should talk...
Also- looking forward to the great Indian buffet lunch- we can pack in all those delicious calories we burned off in the workshops...
If you don't know where the indian food is, ask around- lots of people can tell you...

Ooh, the Indian place is great... and there's a wonderful sushi place in New Brunswick.

OK! Where is that great indian Buffet Lunch?

Definitley NOT too early. I've been thinking about going since, hmmmm, January at least. But I am still not sure if and when I am going. But I hope I can get backstage again to help.

Hey, this is great!!! I'm totally NOT local, so having dancers who know what's what is perfect! Hmm, we should swap phone numbers so we can meet up - pm me if you want mine!

I reserved a hotel room this afternoon. Wicked pumped! Wish I had room-mates, though. ..g.:

Anyone else gonna be there? Are you dancing? Attending workshops? Shopping? (whoot, shopping!!!! you know I'm saving my money!!!) *grin*

I think a BHUZ party's a fab idea! It'll be the most happening event all week! ..l;, Where/when do y'all want to meet up? Friday night, Saturday sometime? Someone mentioned "the Indian place"..... is that as good for dinner/after dinner as for a lunch buffet?

Let's get together, for real! How many BHUZZERS can we pack into one place? ..g.: ..l;,

I'm performing on Saturday, 2pm - waiting to hear about vending, so I may just be there on Saturday, or I may be there all weekend :)

just got the confirm, i'll be there assisting cleo's closet..............finally get to meet some of youse.............stop by and say hey while perusing the pretties.........

Rosehips!!! I loved your performance last year at Rakkasah East; can't wait to see you again. And vending? Oh, I hope so!! I met Brenda at Kassar's workshop this past weekend and she was wearing the belt she bought at your RI workshop a few months ago. It was gorgeous! (BTW - when are you coming back to RI, or, could we be so lucky, Central, MA?) ..g.:

Ruta21030, "Cleo's Closet", eh? It's a good thing I started saving $ for this event two months ago! ..l;,

This is great - there's gonna be a whole bunch 'o Bhuzzers there!

I'm trying to talk the hubby into coming up with me on Sunday. I want to see Dalia Carella's performance -- she's a longtime friend -- and also Arianna al-Tiye, Shems, and others! My classes will be ending that week, so I'll be starting my summer vacation!

Thank you!

I actually just got the word I will be vending too! In the mainroom! So I'll be there all weekend (now to make hotel reservations!).

For sure, I'll be up in MA in October for Raks Spooki - otherwise, I'm not sure exactly---hubby's going to be up there visiting some of our friends while I'm away at Tribal Fest with the other half of our friends from New England...so maybe 4th of July weekend...

"For some reason"???? Maybe because you're fabulous??? ..g.:

Latifa

ordered my bhuz button, i'll be working with cleopatra's closet, so should be pretty easy for me to meet a bunch o' youze..........now that we're closer, who's going?

I'll be there Thursday evening through Sunday afternoon. I'm performing on Friday at 7:48 and I'm taking all of Suhaila's workshops, so if you see me say hello I'll make sure to squint and smile uncertainly

Oh yeah, I need a roommate, does anyone have room for one more in their hotel room??

if you wear something 'bhuzzy' i'll be sure to wave, thinking
'not sure who the heck that is, but they're bhuz'..l;,

I need to get me one of those "how many costumes does a dancer need" Bhuz t shirts. I should be there at minimum on Sunday. Hope to be volunteering.

I wish I could attend but of course My mgr always has to go on vacation at the same time as spring caravan.I'll be at Raks East. who is well enough to shimmy again..

Alrana

I'll be there. I won't be performing but I'm assisting Audrena on Sunday and watching/shopping the rest of the time.

wiiiiiine I can't go until Sunday ..cr.:

and I still haven't gotten me a Bhuz shirt. So I'll probably go with my Raq'n the Casbah shirt, which might be the only bellydance t-shirt I have.....so far. ..g.:

I am very, very unhappy to say that I will no longer be able to attend. ..cr.: A little ticked off, too, but there's nothing to be done for it. ..c::

I know all of you will have a wonderful time!

Miranda

I am planning to go and visit Saturday, dancing on Sunday with Dalia's collective :-)
