Join us for another special Weathervane Arts event on the eve of Saturday, October 4, 2008. This will be our last hafla for the year after much consideration (holidays and travel in December make it unrealistic to have one that month)
- so plan to come and be a part of the fun for one last time in '08!

This one's going to be really special... the theme is fire-dancing and I believe I have lined up Karma, Kashmir, members of She', and I hope my fellow Natarajan, Khani. I need to call up Shale from SoulTonic and beg Jenn Knott to come out for it, too as I heard they have amazing fire skills. If you or someone you know loves to play with fire and I'm not aware of it, don't be shy! This is an opportunity for fire dancer novices.

Do you need more reasons to come?
1) This time it's free!-- It will be outdoors at the Maison de Weathervane (that is to say, Lee and Georgina's house) and we intend to make it really cozy for you with chimaneas, beautiful sari fabrics abound, and as usual, yummy food and beverages.

2) Free Stuff-- The last hafla was meant to be a swapping-bellydance-stuff party but it never happened. If you've outgrown some of your bellydance clothes, bring it! If everyone brings at least one thing to swap, we'll all have a new thing to add to our wardrobe!

3) Shimmy-Off with prizes-- Again, this didn't happen at the last hafla (the music was just SOOOOOO good!) so I have two lonely prizes waiting to be whisked away by a Shimmy God or Goddess. The longest shimmy and the most fabulous shimmy wins! You know you need more excuses to practice shimmying.

4) The Weathervane mascot, Huxley can't make it to every event... but as the ruler of our house, he will be there and you can finally meet him! You can't miss him. He'll be wearing a tux.

So see you there!

~~~Thank you again to those of you who attended (or wished that they could have attended) the most recent hafla. I'm sure everyone heard that the musicians (11 in total!) rocked the house, leaving us all with dropped jaws and hankering to dance! While I'm certain that we will now and forever have a hard time topping that particular hafla, the fun mustn't stop there! :) ~~~
