I've decided to keep bloggerating

I really enjoy reading and being reminded of past shenanigans so I am going to maintain this blog after all.

Much has happened since the State Fair 2010 performance. Mel told us she was gonna quit dance after the state fair performance and she did. The one thing we asked was that she not stop being social. She stopped being social. She dropped dance and everything about dance like a hot rock because a thoughtful, dedicated man came into her life. She didn't even thank Michelle for the blanket Michelle knitted for Mel to gift to a new baby in her boyfriend's family. She thanked her by proxy, through me. Time has reduced the bitterness but no one likes to be dumped. I hope she can find what she is looking for.

I wish I'd blogged about the Amazing Awesomeness that was the Horacio & Beata workshop in Milwaukee in October 2010. The drive, the workshop, the food, Kopp's, it was EPIC.

Mizna, Michelle, and I continue on. We had all the usual holiday performances. Kismet Dallas finally had a show again March 18, 2010, in a new venue, The Quixotic World. And imperfect show and we didn't make rent but people seemed to like the cash bar. Just Fabulous has done the "last" of our shows for the summer with Cathy & Company. The Denton Starrise Series show was early this year: June 17. We usually do that show in July. It was pretty well attended and we hung out at Banter after.

Matt's sister Michele moved in with us in early February. She is job hunting and escaping a bad situation in North Carolina. She has found potential happiness at the Hank Haney Golf Center and is on the road to personal recovery.

Matt's job is pretty hard right now. He is in week three of 7am-11pm. Not a schedule he functions well with but it should end this week. I have had several evenings to myself with him working so much. I wish I could say I have used the time to work around the house.

For me, work is quiet. It's summer. I'm getting caught up. And watching InuYasha on Netflix.

State Fair Performance

Once again, Just Fabulous has been included in the State Fair of Texas. I really enjoy performing at the State Fair even though the planning that goes into this performance can be pretty dang stressful. We are going with simpler costumes this year and I think we already have all the performances we need since we only got 20-minute slots.

Three 20-minute slots.

Shall we do 3 identical shows? Three separate shows? Between having a 4th troupe member and two new choreographies, filling 20 minutes will be absolute cake. Two performances will be on the stage in front of the Hall of State but this year we are also doing one on the Heritage Stage. Very cool to be included in the air-conditioned show!
