OMG, the time's right!

It has a point--my title, I mean. The time on this entry has the right hour. But it's a minute off--isn't that horrible? You know I'm joking. XP

Alright, to get you up to speed on my weekend...

Friday: So we were dancing--I was smiling and paying no attention the the stupid soundbox in front of my face on the incredibly tiny stage, I stand up and the audience sees the cheery expression on my face, we dance and dance...and the music shuts off.

See, there's this part of the track with a little break. Like all musical pieces (the longer ones) it's a chance for the artist to take a breather. The music finishes and then starts up again after a sec.

Apparently the NEW DJ couldn't wait a sec. There was only ONE TRACK on the CD and it wasn't over yet. We were still moving, but he WASN'T WATCHING us either. If he wasn't watching us or the equipment, WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS HE DOING?

1. There was supposed to be a dinner for everyone--audience and performers.
We got NO FOOD

2. This was a fundraising event.
We were VOLUNTEERING our time and energy to dance.

3. We were supposed to go onstage at 9:05pm
We went onstage at TEN-SOMETHING PM.

4. We were supposed to rehearse onstage (thinking we'd get to know the space available and the Dj familiar with the music).
The KICK US OFF while the music is playing and we were only doing a walk-through. Saying that they didn't have enough time for everyone to rehearse. Okay, I understand that. But the people who rehearsed (after we went backstage) had already been onstage a good five min. or so doing NOTHING before we decided to go onstage since they were just standing around.

We waited the whole night with nothing in our tummies, spending an awful lot of time rehearsing, and doing whatever else needed to be done with whatever they gave us. AND WE DIDN'T GET TO FINISH THE DANCE. We couldn't continue without the music as there would be the problem of coordination and so on.

What a disappointment. Awfully unprofessional. All their "I'm so sorry"s and"I scolded the Dj fiercely" can't make up for it. *shrugs* It happened, it happened.

The one professional dancer among us was terribly mad. Her face didn't show it, but it was clear as day when she turned to us and said, "I'm mad. That was really unprofessional." And boy, did she have reason to. Rage was boiling in my veins.

I didn't really hold it in. I actually went to the other side of backstage (with the emcees and the stage manager) right after the dance while they shut off the lights. A friend (the one who got us the gig and danced with us) and I asked them one simple question. "Why'd you turn the music off?" We weren't finished. Just because the audience starts clapping it doesn't mean it's over. Their eyes were wide with 'What? Huh?' on their faces. Incredible.

Ooh, the time isn't right anymore...XP The rest of the weekend can be wriiten about another day...wasn't that eventful.

I'm sick. Got a raspy throat and it's killin' me. Bllleh. *sniff* And a cold. By noze iz awl stuvved ub. =My nose is all stuffed up.= Generally I'm stuffed up all year round--with allergies, then I HAVE to get a cold and get sick enough to be out with a fever for a few days.

By-the-way, I'm out for only a day and so many things have happened? Update, please! I have questions and now I need a tourguide to get explanations. I don't like to be left in the dark. *pout*

Who's up for the job?

Damn. That teaches you to be charitable and help out at a fundraiser, hey?

I'll be happy to be your tour guide.

I hadn't stated this yet..
But I prefer this design to your previous one because too much of your text was clipped and I couldn't read your entries. This one is much better. But why am I typing white text on pink? GAH! hahaha

This design is very cute...and I was just about to suggest that you go ahead and nag Dave...but it seems he's volunteered already. :D
