First I have to FIND the fork

Stick a fork in KCRF 2011. All done. Feels good. Smoker went out with a big old bang on Sunday. We had a record (and fire code) breaking 180+ in the audience and a record number of musicians in Egotista. Check it:
Egotista 10-16-11

We rocked the house. It was awesome. Most of the people in the photo are at least occasionally at Hippie Drumming Circle on Thursday night. Cool group, eh? They're all fantastic and I can't thank them enough for coming out to play for me. None of them are on LJ, but thank you, guys.

I need to get a camera that takes better photos in a variety of situations. I've finally got to where my self-portraits don't suck with the one I got earlier this year when my beloved EasyShare died, but anything in weird lighting (like under the KCRF Feast Hall tent) or shot from a distance (like landscape shots that aren't in 100% glorious sun) are complete crap. I don't want to take this camera on vacation somewhere, only to be disappointed with all my trip's photos.

The insomnia is back, which is not cool. I had to take Drastic Measures last night to finally fall asleep, and then when I started to drift off, random noises kept waking me. I am not a light sleeper, so I don't know what the hell is going on. This morning, when the alarm started to come on (I have a clock that slowly lights up, so the wake-up alert is very gradual), I turned it off and lay in bed for a moment, thinking how tired I was. The next thing I knew, it was forty-five minutes later and I had twenty minutes to get ready. Good thing I packed up my breakfast and lunch the night before.

Tonight is Club Bellydance in KC, hosted by [livejournal.com profile] miischelle and featuring a few local dancers and some of the Belly Dance Super Stars. Thank goodness [livejournal.com profile] roya_spirit is driving, because I know for a fact I'm not going to be fit to operate a motor vehicle come evening. Want me to bring some loud music, hon?

The new journal subtitle is thanks to the incomparable [livejournal.com profile] shrijani. XOXO
