By George they've done it again

Ok Arwen, here you go.... another post. Alas tho, I still don't have a lot of time to post (looking back this may have been a silly comment).

First of all I'd like to report that someone has stolen my Hamburg mug again!! What is with these people? Do they think it is a joke to deprive me of my morning coffee?? You may say, just use another mug but I know exactly how much coffee, milk and sugar to use in my Hamburg mug to make my coffee just right..... *Sniffles*.

So, what have I been up to since the last time they stole my mug??

Well, I've been up to lots... lol. It might be easier to cover that in topics...

Dancing:
I survived Devil City Swing - which was amazing and is back up and running for its second year now! Woot! Bring on June!!
I taught, for the first time out of Tas, in Adelaide for Church City Blues - man that was so fun!
Chris and I taught a 15 min class 4 times and it must have gone well because they invited me back!
Headed to melbourne for mlx! A staple item in my calendar of events.
Back to Adelaide for the inaugral Camp Oz!
Melb - Blues Workshop that I taught with Dan Edgecombe.
...and I think that's it.

Other Random Travel:
Headed to Melb with mates to check out the Royal Crown Review! Man, these guys put on a phenomenal show!

Life:
what life... I am a PhD student... so other than dancing I really have no life.
My week consists of:
5 days a week = PhD
3 evenings a week = teaching dance
1 evening a week = social dancing
3 times a week = gym/swim....

So from here I am travelling a LOT more. I am headed to melb again this weekend to teach a big blues weekend called Sunrise Blues... eeep so excited!
Then next weekend I am off to Perth for Hullaballoo.
Then in June we've got Devil City in Hobart (man I hoping to make it to melb before that tho).
And in July I am off to Malaysia - more on that later.

So... that's my life in a nutshell...
Take care one and all!
kxxx

I am going to die with excitement.... eep

My oh my oh my!!

I have so many exciting things planned that I am just bubbling over with excitement!

First up: 7th April: I am off to the Southern Roots Festival!! I am so excited. The line up is huge. The Pixies are playing! The Pixies I tell you! The coolest part is that pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow but I've already booked my tickets!! Love having connections! Sweet!

Next: 18th - 25th April: I am off to Perth, WA for the first time ever. Why? Well, there is a lindy exchange on over that weekend. Check it out here: Hullabaloo. It is going to be the craziest! Those Perth Lindy hoppers are mad. Let alone all the other people coming from all across Australia (and maybe the world...).

Then: 25th - 29th April: Instead of coming straight home to Hobes I am staying in Melb for a couple of days. I think that The boy may be heading up to hang out in melb with me too cos we are going to Pink on the sat night. That'll be nice. We've never been somewhere together (besides Tas) so i am hoping that we'll get to chill and maybe go see some exhibitions together.

But wait there's more: 22nd - 24th June: News just a-hand... Hobart is having its very first lindy exchange!!! Devil City Swing!! The elves are hard at work and we'll be announcing details very very soon. Just remember that you saw it here. eep. This is going to involve a *lot* of work but I am very confident that we can do it and the Tassie scene needs it. We need to get the passion and fire back.

I think this is the last thing: Oct: I'm not sure if you remember but last year in Oct I went to CCB (Church City Blues) - Australia's first blues exchange! I had so much fun that I had planned on going back this year of course. Then I got an email from Josh asking me to teach this year!! WOOHOO!!! I am so incredibly pumped about it. The only thing I have to do now is a) find money for flights, b) book flights, c) remember how to teach dance ... it has been a while. Other than that... a breeze! Ahahaha.

Keep tuned and I'll update as I get to each and every one of these exciting events!
