Thread: Who is going to Rakassah West?

Trying to get the scoop, as I have never gone before.

Thalia

Haven't decided yet. It can be a lot of fun!

I may go for the workshops but I have to be back in LA for school the actual weekend of the festival. Whose idea was Grad School again?

{{{HUGS}}}

I went the last 2 years, and danced both times to live music! I loved it!!! And I would love to meet you, Thalia!

anyone got more info on it?

Rakkasah - Middle Eastern Folk Festival and Fantasy Bazaar

The festival is March 13-15, 2009

I am planning on it, so it would good to finally meet you also!!

Thinking about making it this year...but it's our anniversary weekend and the same weekend my hubby has his 100 mile bike ride in SLO. I may ditch him there and continue north to hang out with sparkly people... ..g.:

I am in!!!

Yeah....... the web site states that the Courtyard Marriott, where everything is going on, is sold out. But I called and made my reservations, they are not sold out. Just to let you all know

I'm thinking that I will go! I have never been before, but just made my reservations at the Marriott as well.

It would be FANTASTIC to meet up with a bunch of bhuzzers!

Hope to see you there!

ALIMAH!!! Yeah! I made my reservation today as well! I will see ya there! Happy Shopping! WE can all buy costumes that we ALL like...so it is easier to swap later! lol!

Magidah and I are definitely considering it but it sounds like we'll need to sort out a hotel soon!

That's only funny 'cause it's true!!!

I'm sure I'll be there!

Yay! I will be there for the first time ever. All the way from Boston. I'm shacking up at Aazura's house. Hopefully I will meet some of you. I never seem to meet any Bhuzers at Rak East.

I just booked my room at the Marriott! So they are not sold out like it says on the website. woohoo!

yeah Jewels!!

I know, I called just as a shot in the dark, and the reservationist was surprise when I asked if they were sold out. they are not at all.

Of course!

I'll prob drop in for a few events, but I can't take the marathon event; my senses become too overwhelmed by all the chaos and hugging. would love to meet some bhuzzers though!

another thought, should somebody start a "group" for RakWest '09?

OH, yes, yes

I'll be there both Sat and Sun, dancing with the El Asaab troupe at 8:40 Saturday in the Exhibit Hall. If you're dancing between 5 and 7 on Saturday or between 11 and 1 on Sunday in the Exhibit Hall, I'll be working backstage as timer. Otherwise I'll be checking out the booths in both halls and taking advantage of the opportuntity to talk with people I don't otherwise see. If another after party happens in the hotel, maybe I'll make it this year.

I am totally into car pooling from LA with anyone.

I'll be there on Sunday - dancing with *DCM at 5, and with +DoD (Shemadan Duette!) at 7, both on the exhibition stage. Wandering around otherwise - come say "Hi!" if you see me!

* DCM="Dancers of the Crescent Moon"
+ DoD="Daughters of Damascus"

I started a thread to meet up with people if anyone is interested in joining in.

I'll be there for my very first time selling me cossies! I will be stuck in my booth, so stop by and say hi!! ~~Morgana's Bellydance Bazaar~~ Can't wait!!

I hope I get a chance to meet you all!!
