secret & myth busted

hello blog, happy tuesday evening to you.

i'll jump back a few weeks ago, when i was in Florida. My friend who lives in Indiana met me. I'm good friends with Meg from work. She was there before me.. but eventually gave up the exciting life of margin calls to move back to Indy. She was much more interested in photography.
Anyway not sure how it happened but a few years ago, she had started this burlesque calendar. i think as a fund raiser for the Melody bar (they play a lot of live bands) and in the last year or two that grew to include a burlesque show at the bar.

so we're hanging out at the Irish bar in Fort lauderdale and she was talking about the next show coming up in Oct.. and i'm not sure if it was the multiple Carlberg's that got to me, but it sounded like a lot of fun. Then we're dancing (using a lot of liberty on the word dancing i'm not sure we left our seats) to Staying Alive at the end of the night, and i have this brilliant idea, what if i came out, could we do an act together? Definitely the Carlsbergs talking! After all, we were incredibly in sync with our little Staying alive jig, we can't waste that talent, and i'm not going to take my clothes off onstage by myself, come on get real people.

i bring this up now because it's pretty official. I have a plane ticket out there.. for the dress rehearsal so far.. and we talked on the phone today.. have some deadlines. She's going to choreograph the dance (phew).. and we have to pick a song... and i have to come up with my burlesque name ( see poll) . oh & did i mention if our theme is 70's disco.. blinky lights are going to have to be worked into the costume! (that will be the next deadline).....

.........ok off topic....
i did a little side work for myth busters today. I knew i would do it eventually but i'm a little surprised it happened so soon, less that two weeks. Today, i managed to leave the coffee pot on all day. In fact i think it was only a half hour or so ago that i caught it. And i am typing this blog from the comfort of my apartment.. so luckily the house did not burn down! I will certainly have to mention this to my mom when she's out next week. For how many vacations.. did we start off too.. where after the first hour (just far enough..so you wouldn't really want to turn back).. did she begin her frettting as to: did she remember to turn the coffee pot off.. and would the house still be standing when we returned home. Though it did leave a big black mess of dried out coffee on the bottom :(
