Yay, I graduated for my red belt in taekwondo yesterday. It was a combination of a club championship and exams. I didn't win a price in my poule but the three people who did win are really good, so I'm not ashamed. And I did do well enough to pass for my red belt, so yay anyway.

Unfortunately I had to miss the first try-out of our Theaterobers presentation because of the taekwondo exam. Next week on Wednesday is the last lesson and on Sunday we have the final rehearsal and the performance in the evening. I haven't performed 'Big Spender' for a while now... I should really practice before next Wednesday.

So next up on exciting things is the Theaterobers presentation on the 26th and after that on the 2nd of July the belly dance evening. I have made a cool costume that I am actually allowed to wear, even though there are two other dancers from my group who will participate. Normally you all wear the same thing.

This weekend the Saturday is still free of plans, though Matthijs might visit his father for father's day (mine is on vacation). On Sunday we have a balfolk beginners workshop (Matthijs wants to thoroughly learn the waltz) and ball in the afternoon/evening. I think that Saturday I'll work some more on my belly dance outfit and the 'bustle skirt' I'm making for the Theaterobers presentation.

I'm also already getting ideas for Taboe, a LARP in a prehistoric setting, coming October. This will of course take some preparations and costume making. Most costumes that I have are medieval-ish or too detailed. In the neolithic age people were glad to be able to weave squares of fabric (when not only wearing animal skins) and would not use patterns to make the clothes fit your shape. So no flattering garments. I just hope that I'll be able to make something warm.

Something unrelated. I made a gallery for the Damada photos. It starts with lots of pictures of Melisse 'helping' to pack.
