Cafe Citron March 20, 2006
It's 10:02am on Tuesday as I type these words. I got up earlier to edit photos and even snuck out to Starbucks to intending to get a grande Zen green tea. But the barista, assuming I was getting my usual doppio, got me just that. Oh well...so much for my caffeine-free diet. :-)

Spring is here and the crowds are back at Citron, yay! Last night we had a lot of flamencos in the audience including a few out-of-town visiting artists: singer Jesus Montoya and dancer Juan del Valle. Of course, they had their respective entourages of friends which together with my large group of loyal fans filled-up the first two or three booths and the bar area near the stage. During the rumba in the second set, we had such great palmas and jaleo, we got carried away and pushed the tempo a bit, but it was fun and it got the audience pumped-up for Mariya's solea.
Enough commentary. Enjoy the pics.

Off to Lucky Bar for Salsa Monday. March 21, 2006 12:29am
There are some serious salseros here that I can learn from. This is my new Monday night after-show hangout.

It's 10:08am now and I'm done with my blog for the day. I have some pics from the Juan del Valle workshop which I'll get to very soon.
Thanks to the doppio, I'm all hyped-up and the salsa music playing on my computer has got me in the mood to practice my moves. Got all kinds of little tips from my dance partners this weekend. Plus watching the salseros at Lucky Bar last night got me really inspired. I know I have a long way to go but at least I know I'm improving little by little. A big thank you to my teacher Marsha Bonet!
