Hey everyone!
I know this was just touched on a little in Joy's post regarding the NYC Indigo workshops, but I wanted to create a new post to grab everyone's attention =) Here everyone can make plans & sleeping arrangements for this exciting event!
So to start out here's my travel dilemma... I will be going to the workshops and the evening Yard Dogs performance on Saturday. I'd also like to bring my hubby along because he would love to hang out in the city while I'm at the workshops and then seeing the show that night. He's been such a huge support to me and my dancing that I would feel so guilty leaving him at home. The problem is I really cannot justify the costs of a lot of these hotels so we're currently planning on driving into NYC at the ass-crack of dawn and then driving back that night. Keep in mind the drive is about 6 hours from where we live! It would be ideal to just crash for the night, but like I said we just can't afford a hotel.
If there's anyone out there who would like to share a room & wouldn't mind an Y chromosome hanging around send me a message =) Even more ideal would be anyone else who is bringing their boy along as well so maybe Josh (my hubby) could have a play mate for the day, hehe. We honestly don't care where we sleep. We're both used to sleeping on cots, couches, & floors even. Normally in these circumstances we just sleep in the car but I think NYC is a little too risky to do that.
Also, it would be really cool to hang out and get to know some peoples while killing time until the Yard Dogs show. I've been to NYC several times but I can't say I've ever been in the area that the workshops are being held so I'm not sure what kind of fun/trouble there is to get into =) I know I'll meet a lot of great people at the workshops but It would be fun to get some ideas and maybe plan a little bit before hand.
I'm very excited for this weekend! Even more so than meeting some of my favorite belly dance performers I'm really looking forward to meeting other people in my belly dance community!

HOSTELS.com is the answer!!!
Wed, August 20, 2008 - 5:12 PMhey kids! Both myself and friend Alia are getting into a hostel for the weekend and are looking for perhaps two other dancers who might want to share a dorm of four beds.
Any takers??
I dont snore or talk in my sleep, and I shower regularly. :D

Re: Hotels & Meeting People @ NYC Indigo Workshops!
Thu, August 21, 2008 - 7:03 PMThat's so weird! On Joy's site it's listed as Saturdays & sundays.... I never thought to double check the dates with the days of the week cuz I assumed they were just Saturday & Sunday like the descriptions say... Lemme email Joy reeeeel quick to just make sure of what's going on =)

Fri, August 22, 2008 - 5:57 PMoh derr.... Joy you changed your pic and I didn't relieze it was you! hehe. Ok so disregard my email then =)
So I guess I'm confused. The dates posted on your site say Sept. 21st & 22nd but then the workshop descriptions say Saturday & Sunday. Are the Yard Dog shows on the 21st & 22nd and then the workshops are Sat the 20th & Sun the 21st?? -
