Greetings, dancers!
John, Lilly, I, Bridget, and many who were all fired up from their previous weekend at the Salsa Congress tore up the floor at The Station Wed eve 2009-11-25! John and Lilly swilled tequila and beer, while I (the designated driver) danced with a new Queen-o-shine, again and again. We closed the place down around 2 am, after the dance contest winners (one of many couples visiting from Columbia) were awarded their prize. The demonstrations from hot Congress couples were so exciting, I was hoarse from screaming encouragement. About the only thing we didn't see were aerial tricks, and that was probably due to lack of space on the dance floor.
!Baliar!

Your musical suggestions are welcome! email Nikko Suave
Buy their music, instead of stealing the artistic products of Latin Jazz musicians by ripping CDs or using filesharing sites. These musicians are not pop mega-stars; they are keeping this music alive by living it. Many are barely getting by financially, unsupported by major labels. Legal, free samples of some of this music may have been released by individual artist on their web sites for free, no-license use; check with each artist for details.

Ridesharing: good for you, easier on planet
Sharing rides is good for socializing, lowers impact on the planet, and is more economical for you. Multiple cars meeting at the same rideshare location on Hwy 49 means you can likely catch a ride back at whatever time you wish to return (sometimes returning in a shared vehicle different than you rode down in). Please take special care not to distract your driver on Hwy 49, use headlights on Hwy 49, day and night, and contribute $ toward vehicle operating expenses ($5 r/t per passenger suggested) (Carpool RSVP appreciated, but not required)
