Live! at Woodrow Wilson Plaza. August 23, 2006

Sara Jerez in Guajiras. August 23, 2006 12:21pm

It's 12:41 on Thursday as I type these words. Yup, yesterday (Wednesday) yours truly went out to downtown DC to attend the performance by Flamenco Aparicio. I looked around the audience for familiar faces from the flamenco community and didn't see any. Losers! Just kidding...sort of. ;-) Well, OK, so most of you have day jobs and couldn't take time off to see a free show on a beautiful day on your lunch break. Losers! Just kidding...kinda. :-)

Actually I did see Genoveva's boyfriend in his work attire--at least he made it out to the show. Way to go Drew!

Anywayz, I know, I know...I've been slacking a bit on da blogging. And I think I figured out why I've been in a lethargic slump all week: it's not just all the late nights followed by da early morning appointments. It was the all night Peruvian party last Friday that threw my body clock all outa whack! It's OK, it was worth it: beautiful girls, delicious food, party atmosphere and flamenco--what else can I ask for? :-)

So I took a few hundred pics at this performance which on one hand increases the likelihood that I'll get a decent shot, but on the other hand means I had to sift through a lot of pics and this morning, I was trying so hard to keep going despite my sleepy state. Right now, it's the caffeine shot that's keeping me going right now. Don't ya appreciate all the hard work I do for the flamenco community? I know I'm just whining like a spoiled brat. Sitting in front of a computer for hours selecting and editing flamenco pics and blogging about flamenco still beats a boring day job anyday!

So here ya go, for you losers who couldn't come out to da show (just kidding, sorta), I present Flamenco Aparicio...

Hey, I was at the Woodrow Wilson performance and it was todo bien in spite of the heat! I had only seen these dancers in a workshop, so it was a real treat to see them in performance. The guitar was very good so I didn't even miss having a singer. Unfortunately I had to get back to work after an hour so missed Edwin's solo and the fin de fiesta. They were all excellent performances, but Anna really reached down deep and pulled out all the stops in spite of the heat. As we were leaving we spotted Miguelito taking the sun near the front of the audience. Hola, Miguelito y gracias!

Fantastic pics!!!!
