Hi from Pittsburgh!

[jengal55]

Hi Everyone!

Jen here...I dance under the name Janim. Sorry, sorry, that I didn't introduce myself sooner, but I never really made it past the swap meet page with all the beautiful costumes! (like a deer caught in the headlights...)

Anyways, i am an architect by day and a bellydancer by night. I started almost 5 years ago and am completely entranced. I love both the egyptian and turkish styles, and can not tear myself away from Radio Bastet. I have so much more to learn and am enjoying every minute of it!

Thanks for all the wonderful posts here at BHUZ. I learn so much from all of you!

Warmest wishes for the rest of your weekend!

Welcome to bhuz!!! I know what you mean about it being difficult to get past the swap meet page - I have that problem myself. I've also been dancing about five years - I started at a later age but I love it!!! I hope to be dancing forever!!! lol

Welcome! I'm not that far from you, I'm just in Cleveland.

I know what you mean about the Swap Meet... that's what sucked me in too! I'm just now starting to explore all the other parts of the forum.

[jengal55]

I know, I know! I never realized how much information is here on this site! It is amazing...i think my day job may begin to suffer though unless i start restricting my forum perusing... LOL


And Cleveland is pretty close- i actually grew up in Youngstown...even closer ;)

hiya back!

and how about primanti's? It's the stuff heartburn is made of but it totally brings a little tear to my eye when i think about it...uh-oh, it is almost lunch time!

[ravenadesigns]

yum yum yum. I so wish I could bring all the food with me. What I miss the most - church festivals. The only place where you can ask for halupki, haluski, or pirogies and they understand. And don't forget chipped ham - omg! Only place where Slovokian, Polish, and Italian food seem to work together.

ok - I must stop with the food!!!!!!

Hee hee...where else can you find pirogie pizza?

[steffib]

Correction: Where else do you have a male bellydancer tell you that you have to try pierogi pizza?

[songofincense]

Well, it's hard for any of us to get past the swap!!! Welcome, Welcome!!!

Oh how I miss Pittsburgh!! Primanti's, the "O". Eat some fries for me, will ya!!
Funny, I didn't know there were bellydancers in Pittsburgh before I moved here 14 years ago (oh my it's been that long?!!). Now there will be some bellydance sisters to look up when I go home to visit my family!!

Oh, and the BBT....the best pierogies ever!!!

[Nafiah]

And the haluski.......sigh.

Gosh I'm hungry!!! (I say with a tear in my eye).

Oh my gosh, the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern - I have very hazy memories of seeing bands there years ago.
