Flamenco, take me away!


Booooy, am I excited! I'm going to Flamenco tonight with Smokey Jesus...oh Flamenco!


There's this place near my apartment called Carmen's De La Calle Cafe. Very nice place. Eclectic, intimate, comfy, and sexy....me encanta.


They have delish tapas and their Sangria is to die for. To. Die. For.


But, the best part of it is the live Flamenco on Friday nights. They move the tables from the center of the cafe and put down a tabla which is the board the dancers dance on. The singing, guitar, and percussion are all live...


I'm always completely taken by the dancing. It's an unleashing of passionate expression brilliantly reigned in by form and rhythm.


It's always the same.


I get there, I get comfy, drink some sangria, nosh on some tapas, strike up a conversation with whoever is sitting next to me (it's a very small space). Once the dancing starts, I let it take me away for a little while. And, I especially like sharing it with someone else.


Especially if that someone else is a hot date. The combined effect of the Flamenco and the wine is utter and complete...if I'm there with a date, you better believe we'll be rocking the boat later...*rubs hands together* Mwuahahahaha....


This time I promise to take ze pikchurs...and I'll post them tomorrow...late...'cause we'll be snuggling in, putas!
