Troupe ‘Hip’notic is a featured performer in Raven’s Night at The Birchmere, Alexandria VA on October 20, 2012.  We will be debuting our “Mermaid” piece that we’ve been working on for months, and we’re so excited to be sharing this piece with you!  We’re also blown away by the amazing artwork that has been made by Belladonna and Ken for this event.  Prints are available for purchase on the Raven’s Night website.

So if you know Troupe ‘Hip’notic you might have an inkling that a close rival to their love of bellydance is their appreciation for craft beer (and of course cheese and chocolate).  So, needless to say, the entire troupe is pretty damn excited to be performing at a FLYING DOG BEER EVENT that also has AWESOME LIVE MUSIC and SIDESHOW PERFORMERS!!! I mean, really, does it get any better than that?  Beer, belly dancing, BBQ, live music and sideshow acts?  We’re excited and the ticket page says even says we’re ecstatic!  AAAAND one of the beers they’ll have there is Citra and it is absolutely fantastic.

Come out to Rodz & Rydz in Severna Park on Saturday, August 18th for music, spectacle, bbq and of course, beer!

-Reggie Wayne Morris (primal blues from Glen Burnie)
-Tommy McGee and the Baby Please! (blue collar rock & roll from around the way)
