Just the day before, Wasatch Tango Club approved my crazy idea of turning our traditional August Mountain Milonga retreat into a 2-night event, and put me in charge of this soon-to-be defined festathon. The very first thing I discovered was that almost all August weekends at the WMC Lodge were already booked! A frantic activity ensued, quizzing people who attended similar events in other states (such as Saltwater or Burning Tango), hammering a custom reservation agreement with the Lodge Foundation, scoping potential guest DJs... and so when I showed up at Squatters at half past six, I still haven't done a second of DJ's homework. Don't get me wrong, I can probably play hours of tango music off my memory, or occasionally checking notes, but I don't want to miss my chances of learning something new, and trying something new, and listening to a lot of tracks which don't come up naturally in my mind, and putting the puzzle pieces together. But not this time, alas. Tonight I gotta stay in the more familiar terrain for all 3 hours of it.

To tell you a little secret, it's just Larisa and Andrey just got on the dance floor minutes ago, and so I'd rather save a milonga tanda for a bit later ;) )
