Ottawa (popopo!)

This weekend I went up to Ottawa with my fellow paradosi dancers, to be part of Project Hellas, a big festival they had there. Half of the group didn't dance, but were there for support to the other dancers, and cuz we r a family. Also, I have never seen so much Greek Ass in my life...no joke. We got mooned like at least 5 times (by the boyz).

We car pooled up to Ottawa in a convoy of 5 cars (later joined by a 6th) with walkie-talkies in each of the cars. Well, let me tell you, it was one of the funniest trips i have ever taken. I must thank the Gamma Gamma Gamma fraternaty for all the laughter! We got to the motel/hotel at 3, went for dinner, then came back to the rooms for an AWESOME room party. Lots of booze + 1st time drinkers = lots of laughs.....some key memories: Francine-"Starfish, and close!" and "Louie: Guys, for the 14th time....Where's my CAMERA?!?" (in his pocket of course!).

The next day we went to parliment and took some pics.


To fill up for the upcoming performance, we made a pit stop at subway and left our mark.





After that, we stayed at the theatre that the group was performing at for THE REST OF THE DAY!!! it was pretty brutal cuz they basically locked all of the doors and forced us to stay in a small, hot changeroom for the majority of the time, but honestly, i was stuck with a great group, so it didnt really matter.

On our way home, with the same shenanigans provided by the Gamma Gamma Gammas, the sky greeted us with a display of the Northern Lights...it was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen and very inspiring. I thank those of you who took pictures for me!

What a great weekend!

PS, we r dancing on the 20th of November in Dundas Square for the opening of some festival. I know it's last minute, but everyone should come out and see us. We r getting great coverage with it!
