I'm officially hijacking my own blog. This blog was previously called "Megha in India", but I'm going to use this space to add posts from all of my travels now. Let's see if I can keep up with it.
I'm at the airport now, waiting for my flight home after a weekend of workshops and a show organized by Mimi Fontana of Manhattan Tribal. I have to say, she did a really fab job of organizing everything. The show was in a nice little theatre and had a good lineup that seemed to last just long enough to keep everyone's attention and leave them wanting more. The workshops were held in a super great studio in Manhattan with lovely, high windows on two sides and good floors. This place was like a huge office building of studios. They had so many studios that they had big monitors up on the wall in the lobby with the studio numbers and events on them, like airport flight monitors. People were rehearsing and auditioning for all kinds of shows. It was a really great place with a lot of excitement in the air. The students in our classes were such a great group. It seemed like the whole weekend just flew by and everybody was happy with how it all went.
I have had such a pleasant experience on this trip. Every single person I've had any dealings with has been so nice. From the waiters in the restaurants to the cab drivers and the airport staff, they've all been kind and courteous. And to top it off, there was a weird cool spell in the city this weekend, so the weather was incredible, too. My only regret is that I didn't make plans to see a show while I was here. Next time I will definitely plan ahead for that.
To top it all off, I got to eat at, or order from, four.... Yes, that's right... Four different vegan restaurants while here! Considering that there isn't one single vegan restaurant in the entire state of Alabama, this was thrilling for me. In fact, I have a vegan coconut donut in my bag waiting for me right now. Hmmm, I think I'll end here and have it now. ;-)
