MY RATING: 10.00

Great people everywhere. I try to make it to at least one big salsa event a month, and the thing that I enjoy the most is the people I meet.

Timba, Son, Salsa dura, Batchata, Meregue, Cumbia, Hip Hop, Rock, Alternative, Metal, Classical...no Opera.

Some of my fav bands right now (it changes weekly) are Adalberto Alvarez, Calle Real, Cesar Pedroso, Manolito Simonet, Maikel Blanco, and Los Ases de la Timba. Too many others to list, though.

Got my dance card filled right now.






I grew up in Nome, Alaska and moved to Oregon for college, which is fortunate because I otherwise wouldn't have been able to take part in the flourishing Cuban dance scene here. I never quite finished with any of the degrees that got started (loser), but I hope to finish one in the next year and then go back to school for architecture. Right now I run a drafting business in Corvallis, which takes far too much of my time away from the important things...like traveling to sample various salsa scenes around the globe.

It's the same old story you've heard a million times. Some cute chick suckered me into dancing salsa and I got hooked. For me, going out is all about being around friends, enjoying good music, playing pool, and doing a bit of dancing. I'm not so much into the scenes where a lot of folks go out to show off instead of socialize. I LOVE live music (my apologies to my DJ friends). Even if it's not the greatest band, there's something about a group of musicians in a room creating on the stage while a mob of dancers creates on the floor.

I know this sounds like I've absolutely lost my mind, but THE PLATINUM IN CORVALLIS, OREGON IS THE COOLEST PLACE I'VE DANCED IN THE WORLD. After going out in New York, L.A., Miami, and everyplace else I've been, I'm always looking forward to going out in Corvallis. It's all about cool peeps.

Traveling, camping, white water rafting, dabble in a little of just about everything else.

Hey Mike - we loved hanging out with you and Simona and your crazy Rumbanana crew. You guys Rock! And of course I don't think I have met anyone else who has tried to do Rueda in a pool....gotta love it. Congrats on the win..really cool. Tell everyone hi for us.

Tania
P.S. There was a move that you called while doing a rueda w/the Rubmanana crew that I'm curious what it is called. I think it was a series of enchuflas with one clap in the middle and the leaders jumped on the 3rd one, but it wasn't festival de enchufla?? Not sure.
P.S.S. HAPPY (early) THANKSGIVING!
P.S.S.S. Did you hear about a salsa cruise to alaska that is going to have Casino and timba parties? Here is the info. Havana in Alaska - a salsa cruise adventure -August 13-20, 2008
