Post-Ballroom Magic 2012

Ah, well. It's all led up to this moment, the end of BPG's annual show, Ballroom Magic. What can I say. It has been an amazing experience. All the countless hours spent rehearsing this past month. The all day weekend rehearsals and techs. The costumes. The stress. The energy. The people.

It's very bittersweet for me. It's my first and only Ballroom Magic that I will be a part of. In many ways it makes me rather depressed and a little angry even, angry at myself probably that I didn't get started with BPG sooner. But, I'm somewhat of a proponent for the things-happen-for-a-reason. Timing wise, things could be a lot different in terms of my friendships and relationships with various people I know now than if I'd started sooner. Who knows.

On the up side, I am extremely grateful to have even been a part of this experience. I'm so happy that most of my family came to see me perform. Hell, I'm so happy that I even got to perform in the pieces I was in.

I guess overall, I'm happy. I'm happy that I've learned what I learned in terms of dancing. I mean, it's not completely over yet; there's the rest of spring semester for me to continue learning as much as I can. Yes, the main attraction and performance is over, but there's still three months or so...until this semester ends...and when I graduate...crap. Hah.



On an semi un-related note, we had a cast+friends/family of cast party afterwards at the nifty Athens restaurant, Transmet, where we paid a fixed price and we could have all the non-alcoholic drink and food we wanted. Drinks from the bar were discounted but I didn't bother, but I did have a sip from friends' drinks or so, and all I can say is what the frick. I am never going to buy liquor-drinks from a bar if they all taste like this watered down crap. I can make myself a much better quality Gin and Tonic at home, thank you very much.

Which is exactly what I'm enjoying as I write this post.



Cheers! To an absolutely incredible show and an unforgettable experience.
