So as I was performing, I was wondering why people were laughing, and as I watched this clip for the first time, I was laughing too…LOL. I debated whether to edit out sword mishaps, but decided to just post the whole clip. Love how I can see Anna in the background taking my photos and checking to make sure they are coming out. LOL. (trained her well ;)

I performed one of Aftrit Temples new songs last night at Undulation Nouveau at Fullteam Brewery. Always one of my favorite events.

What fun! This was a total surprise for the guests. A couple guests who are my friends new, but they kept quiet. I arrived as a guest and mingled in the crowd. We tested out the CD and sound and then I got ready and surprised everyone. The space was huge and the ceilings were high so I was able to do my Isis Wings. The total performance was about 20 min, but I cut this clip down to about 7. It isn’t often I get video footage at private events, so this is like a ‘behind the scenes’. LOL. There were some really funny moments. You have to watch all the way through–no cheating and skipping to the end!

There was also Native American Drumming and storytelling, Sufi whirling, songs, poetry, African drumming and the drum circle. Fire poi, hooping, ect.
