Ulrika Frank's Cafe Flamenco at American Dance Institute. March 11, 2007
Evian water, Ferrero Rocher chocolates and a private table. That's what I call VIP seating!

It's 6:35am on Monday morning. Yeah I've been up all night working on my blog and editing pics just to get something published for you to enjoy just in case you didn't make it to see Ulrika Frank's Café Flamenco--her final show in the DC area before leaving for Sweden in a few months.
As a very kind gesture of appreciation for my promotion and publicity for the show, Ulrika gave me a pair of complimentary VIP tickets. Thank you Ulrika! Of course, I invited my dancer friend Ginette Perea to join me--thanks for the company Ginette! We got the royal treatment and had a reserved private table next to the stage--perfect for taking pics of the show. Very nice!

Well, I'm going to get some sleep right now. 
I'll add some commentary later when I wake up. Better yet, do me a favor (while I'm in dreamland) and feel free to use the form at the bottom to add your own comments. Thanks and enjoy the pics!

Congrats to Mirada Flamenca, the musicians and of course to Ulrika Frank herself on a job well done!
It would be sooo cool if you could leave a comment or two about the show and any special thoughts you might like to leave for Ulrika for all the world to read. Thanks!
