    I was considering going to her Berkeley workshop on Tuesday if my week was not too crazy, but just saw that it has been postponed until the fall. :(

    Alas, I can't be in San Jose this weekend. Here, we'll give a little plug: www.halanda.com/AishaAli.html

    I have taken one workshop with her, and it was not great. BUT it was too overcrowded and in a pretty inappropriate venue, so I have long wanted to take from her again in a studio. I saw her dance and lecture at the International Conference back in...2001? And damn I admire her early work and travels and dance documentation! Plus the layout of this workshop coming p looks very organized.

    You should go! It's better to regret something ya have done then something you haven't...right?

      Ahh, Mahea! I took Hula there. She's an amazing lady, she just has this presence around her.

      Anyhoo,

      Yeah I know I'll feel totally guilty for not going buuuut....I have been swamped with finals. I'll have a final on monday and tuesday, plus a huge paper due (that i should be doing right now) and sunday happens to be my b-day. all i really want to do is eat cake.

      see, i'm even too tired to use the shift key to make capital letters.

      capital letters, bah..let them eat cake!

        I can relate to school having to come first.

        Happy belated birthday! Hope you are celebrating well in Hawaii... Guava cake, perhaps!



        Side note: I picked up a copy of Ms. Ali's Tunisian video/Raqs Shaabi video. I *love* it and recommend it highly!
