If you can believe it, it's 5:28am on Tuesday as I type these words! Yeah, I'm actually awake at this hour, so I might as well work on the blog and publish the few pics I got from last night. Pictured above is Citron's manager, Peter, with Mariya.
Didn't get around to finding someone to take pics during the show, but at least I got some of the people who come out and support us. Take a look...
Frank Guillen and Mel. August 7, 2006 10:04pm
Frank is the new guitarist in town. He studied flamenco guitar accompaniment at the Cristina Heeren Flamenco Foundation in Sevilla. You may have heard him play in recent dance classes taught by María Roncal or Mariya at the DC Dance Collective. Welcome to the DC community Frank!
Karine and Miguelito. August 7, 2006 10:05pm
I know Karine from American Dance Institute. She takes classes there taught by Anna Menendez where I provide the live guitar accompaniment.
Danielle and Miguelito. August 7, 2006 10:46pm
Danielle is currently a student of María Roncal. She started learning flamenco with Sara Candela who just happened to perform here at Citron last Monday. I first met Danielle at my Tapeo gig a few weeks ago but now she is becoming a regular here at Citron on Monday nights, yay!
Asha and Miguelito. August 7, 2006 11:33pm
I met Asha last week. She's an amazing web designer. Checkout her site. She's a friend of Chris Kobar, another web designer, who studied flamenco briefly with the Spanish Dance Society.
Jena and Miguelito. August 7, 2006 11:57pm
Jena drops by for the Monday night flamenco show here at Citron every now and then. She studied flamenco in Spain for a few years and I did manage to get her to dance some Sevillanas here a couple of times. But unfortunately she's moving to London. She promised to keep in touch. Good luck Jena!

As I caught up with my friends, I lost track of the time. And as you know, the metro closes at midnight. Thank God I was able to convince a friend to give me a ride. Got home at a decent hour but here I am now, up again and it's almost 6:00am on Tuesday.
Anywayz, when Citron opens at around 11:00am, I have to go and pick up my sound system and bring it back home. Then I'm meeting up with Carlton this afternoon to head towards Delaware for a gig with Micaela Moreno tonight. In the meantime, Behzad's subbing for me tonight at Las Tapas.
I really should go back to bed and get some rest so I can have energy for tonight. Good night....er, I mean, good morning! ;-)
