Thread: Rakkasah after parties

I haven't made up my mind if I'm going to Rakkasah or not, but are there any after parties on Saturday night? Restaurants to see dancers, etc? I can only handle so many hours of the festival, then I need to get out, any bhuz meet ups on Saturday?

I know there are a few restaurants in San Fran that have dancing, any ones closer to the festival??

Bummer they couldn't get a venue for Nouveau Nights this year. If I hear of anything else I'll post it.

Maybe not what you are looking for, but this was on the website:

Announcing the official Rakkasah After Partyhosted by Carmine Guida of Djinn! Starting at 11:30pm on Friday and Saturday Night. There will be live music and plenty of special guest appearances by the Rak stars of Belly Dance. Let your locks fly free and dance the night away. The party is conveniently located across the street from the festival at the Marriot. There is no cover charge for this after hours event!

Ah, Rakkasah...

We went for the first (and only) time two years ago - I was AMAZED at all the vendor booths and variety of performances. There's nothing comparable up here in the Great White North.

Hopefully we'll get back some day.
Have fun everyone - I'll be thinking of you - enviously!

Hmmm, that could be interesting, any other bhuz members going to this? I will most likely stay at Jack London square in Oakland, so I have to get a car to get around town etc.

Any other suggestions? We need bhuz name tags!!

hey aradia, ill be there on saturday! dont know about after parties though.

The Rak East after parties (like what Carmine is hosting at West) were one of my favorite parts of my Rakassah experience this past October. Taking a class from Fahtiem was great, but so was dancing with her at the after-party that night!

Wow! Party at my hotel and I didn't even know it! I'll be there! ..g.:

I'm thinking of going Friday night. Hmmm, maybe I'll make a bhuz "nametag". Anyone else will be there Friday?

*sniff* I wish I were going...

I'll be around and will try to remember to attach my Bhuz button to my handbag! I look just like my avatar -- altho probably won't be wearing that black and silver dress.

I am thinking that I'll head up Friday after work. I have to find someplace to crash Friday night. I think I have a lead. . .

Here's a stupid question; what's a bhuz button?
