I recognize a couple of faces. Can someone identify the rest?

eshtabellydance · 08-23-2008, 10:10 AM

I recognize only a few....gosh I'm jealous! The first person to come back better write a long post about the whole experience. I wish I could have gone! Orit is my favorite...

I'm soooo happy for you all! Sad, too, because I was supposed to be there! But I'll bet the show last night was amazing and tonight will be heaven.

Zana · 08-23-2008, 12:38 PM

I really want to Photoshop you in -- not just into the photo but into the whole weekend. Anybody got the technology for that?

Kiyaana has done a better job of meeting everyone so can probably fill in some names I don't know. There were also a few non-Bhuzzers who popped up when the cameras came out. For now I spy:

Everyone looks so happy and beautiful! I am very much looking forward to a full report of the weekend.

I think the girl between Aziza and Magidah is Claudia from Portland...

Boo hoo! Everyone is having such a great time and I am stuck here in Tallahassee with Tropical Storm Fay. We've had about 15 inches of rain since yesterday morning according to our rain gauge and it isn't over. Power has been out several times but no trees or big limbs down in our yard although the road out of our neighborhood is closed because of a bridge under water in one direction and a sink hole opening up in the other direction. The dogs and my husband are going stir crazy but its a perfect time for me to catch up on sewing or curl up under the covers with a good book.

Can't wait to see the show videos!! And hear how wonderful it all was.

Between Nasila and Artemesia is Asmehan.

Great workshops, fabulous shows (Orit performed tonight!), and wonderful company. I was bawling out of joy (and too many late nights?) at the end of tonight's show.

Standing on the left in the dark pink caftan with very blonde hair is Sedona (yayyy!!! love her!) And in the very back to the right (you can only see her face) is Ana Gabriela Brenes.

kiyaana · 08-25-2008, 05:33 PM

Yes, she was my wonderful roommate and new fabulous friend!

Thanks, Zana, for putting together the names. I copied them to the first post.

Standing:
Gina, Sedona, Myra, Shadiyah, Aziza, ?, Magidah, Kiyaana, Nasila, (is that Rania?), Artemisia, Ana, Tina, Leela (flimflamgirl), Suzana
Kneeling:
David, Aradia, ?, Ahava, (is that StaceyLizette?)
And in the middle of course:
Orit, Queen of Hearts

Next to Ahava is Adriana (not StaceyLizette).

The dancer under Orit and next to DaVid is Elisa Gamal.

Thank you everyone for making this a SPECTACULAR event and a GREAT birthday!

Happy birthday pretty lady!

I can't believe I have to wait a whole year before we get to do kazoo reveille at camp again...

kiyaana · 08-26-2008, 03:46 PM

Oh, good - the angle of her face was throwing me off for identification. I'll add her to the first post.

The weekend was incredible, Aziza! Emotional in a very good way.

Happy real birthday to you,
Happy real birthday to you,
Happy real biiirthday Aziiiza,
Happy real birthday to you!
And many more...

And many thanks to all!

I would love to write more about the weekend but am still a little too overwhelmed and overtired to make a whole lot of sense. (Hey! Whaddya mean "what else is new?") I hope someone else beats me to it. First impressions:
We danced, laughed, sang, danced, made new friends, danced, admired the talents of our new friends, danced, laughed more, missed absent friends, ate, swam, cried, made fun of ourselves for crying, danced, reconnected with old friends and admired their talent, danced, laughed, danced, tripped over our feet -- though that may have been just me -- talked pretty much non-stop, and learned, learned, learned. In a word: wonderful.

flimflamgirl · 08-26-2008, 05:49 PM

Hey Zana, don't forget about the chocolate. Ate chocolate, bought a lot of Eye Kandy. In addition to your list.

Still not fully recovered...my brain feels like a softboiled egg. THAT'S how good the weekend was! I had to spend the afternoon lying on a beach yesterday to recover somewhat. It was such hardship.

Zana · 08-26-2008, 11:13 PM

Ahhh, the beach. The sacrifices we make for our art, eh?

Hope it was grand, sweetie.

nasila · 08-26-2008, 11:49 PM

OMG, last week was insane! It started with a water park in the warm rain on Wed, then Orit's preggo bouncing butt on Thurs, then Orit again the next day, plus rad show with Aziza finale, next day was Disney's Animal Kingdom and then another super-rad show with Orit finale and a then midnight drive to the Gulf coast, manatees at 6am, then drive all the way back across the state to the Atlantic coast to catch Cocoa Beach before sundown, then Kennedy Space Center the next day and we just got home today. Whew!! What the hell am I still doing awake?

All you Bhuzzers were so sweet and the dancers in the show were fabulous!!

Now I need a vacation from my vacation!

Zzzzzzz....
