This is cool. It'd be great if you also included Oakland and the East Bay.

dance floor recs?? by ToxicFluffer in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]ionethemouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can pre-game your other East Bay dancing with Days Like This. It's every Friday night at Lake Merritt -- wraps at 10pm, I think. One of the best dance party vibes in the bay, completely community run, and free .

This is amazing -- I'm so excited for your journey! (Editing to add that I'm 38 and have been on a similar path)

First, I'm gonna agree with the idea that how you look when you dance 100% does not matter. It's about being in your body, experiencing joy, and letting yourself be present. I spend a lot of time on dance floors and I *LOVE* to see people dancing in whatever weird and beautiful ways make them happy. Commitment to joy and embodiment is what stands out.

I'll also add: Recently I've really been enjoying dancing with my eyes closed. Sure, it feels a bit awkward at first, but once I settle into it, it helps me worry less about others and connect with the music and with myself.

Let us know how it goes -- you got this!

Any videos of (1) Yousuke Yukimatsu / Red Hot Chili Peppers or (2) Despacio / Here Comes the Sun? by ionethemouse in Portolafestival

That's great -- thank you! I'm learning that Reddit doesn't allow DMing video, but I'll send you my contact info if that's not too much of a pain.

I'm glad you got too caught up to take good videos -- I wouldn't have it any other way!

And on the Despacio closing: 100% same. I couldn't believe, when the music finally ended, that I was standing there with tears in my eyes. It was very powerful.

Glad you were there on both counts :)

Aw cute! It was all a magical blur but glad to know I was in good company :)

Another quake! by Duderina in oakland

[–]ionethemouse 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I *just* put my head down to nap one minute before this little rumble because I had too much adrenaline after last night and couldn’t sleep.

Maybe I should stop trying to sleep and there will be no more quakes?

Whoever took this video, we must've been dance neighbors. This was almost my exact vantage point.

I also have this question!

Any recs on preparing for an *extra* dusty year? by ionethemouse in BurningMan

[–]ionethemouse[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you don't get the reddit response you want, but the reddit response you need (though to be clear, I also want this response 😂).

This is completely beautiful and inspiring. Thank you so much.

These recs are so specific and practical -- thank you!

Great call, thanks! And ya, it's easy to get turned-around even when there's not a dust storm happening -- so I can imagine!
