now that i'm not working at the hotel, i'm not stuck in a tiny cave with plenty of time to play on the internet! sorry i've been nearly non-existant here on the tribe.

so what has been going on?

now that i'm here in kalamazoo and have started finding my niche, i have a lot of news to share! the biggest news, which most of you already know, is that i've started my own troupe! our name is boheme and you can visit us at www.myspace.com/bohemetribal ... our next show will be in ann arbor on may 31st, with unveiled bellydance and kami liddle. then we move on to tribal revolution in june!

i am going to start teaching classes for the first time here in the kalamazoo area beginning in june! they will be on monday nights, from 6:45 til 7:45. they will be held at fire, which is an awesome space here in town! the people there are amazing and certainly lean toward my ideals of community. check them out at www.thisisfire.com

now that i'm settled here, i can actually set the free skill shares into motion! i have some amazing space that i think will be perfect for this project. it will also be *the best* hafla space you can imagine! more details once i hammer some things down. please pm me to let me know if you'd be interested in teaching a 1 hour free class. if you're traveling from out of town, we'll pool some dollars to help cover your gas expenses!

to help make ends meet, i have been making some tribal costuming to sell. if you have a bra, belt, headpiece, panel skirt or other accessory you would like to be brought into existence, let me know! we can work something out! my prices are extraordinarily reasonable!

hope to see everyone at the kami liddle workshop on may 31st! if you can't make it, perhaps we'll see you at arabian nights at the wayside on june 8th! na'imah, sabrina, and channon will be performing this time around! there is an open dance floor and a middle eastern dinner and/or hookah will be available to purchase for your enjoyment! we always have a hoot at these things!

hope everyone made it through the long winter with no problems and spring is finding you happy and healthy!
