It's around 4:00pm on Monday as I type these words. Aw man...it's already dark outside! So I better finish this blog up quickly and get out of the house and enjoy what's left of the day before heading to my gig at Cafe Citron.
Anywayz, this past weekend, I had the pleasure of performing with New York-based dancer Ricky Santiago. Not that he came down solely to join us at Cabanas and Tapeo. Hehe. No, he was actually in the DC area to rehearse for an upcoming Edwin Aparicio production. I was fortunate enough to snag him for a couple of tablao gigs. Here are the pics. Enjoy!

As for tonight (Monday), I'll be performing at Cafe Citron with singer Gerard Moreno and dancer Claudia Roman. We'll be heading over to Ozio's afterwards as usual. See you there!
P.S. in case you were wondering, it took me about an hour to put this blog post together. I had to sift through hundreds of photos from this past weekend, edit, upload and write up the HTML and I'm not even done yet. Got pics from Friday night at Tutto Bene and Sunday afternoon's rehearsal by Estela Velez's Furia Flamenca that I still have to get to. Be patient with me, please!
P.P.S. Just got back from Ozio (it's 1:49am on Tuesday). José informs me that they no longer perform at Layla's on Saturdays. Lucky for me and my friends, we happened to stop by on their last night at that venue. Stay tuned. I'll announce Duende Camarón's new show information when it becomes available.
