Tonight's "Milonga into the Light" at Portland Yacht Services was definitely a success. Beautiful space, live music (by ¡Tango Mucha Labia!), food, great decorations...and we broke even. All good things for the Portland tango scene. I personally was not happy about my violin playing, nor about my dancing, (though Tina came over and said I looked great, I didn't feel good at all). In general the band's ensemble felt a little off. We played much better during the sound check. Thinking back to our last performance, though, it's a huge improvement. Next time we have a gig I will try to take a nap in the afternoon, I think. Especially these days, when I'm completely fried at the end of a week.
Now, time to start planning my trip to Buenos Aires and to keep working on my intonation. Ack. I'm a little afraid that I won't feel good and won't dance or play well when I'm down there. But hey, hold on, my body is moving. I'm dancing tango and I'm playing the violin. Yow.
