Dallas Re-cap
Well, Dallas was fun. Our Friday performance was all right...not our best. We performed at Stratos which is like a bar/nightclub that offers Greek food. The dance floor was pretty small and with the spectators inching in to see, the area we had to perform was very tight. I bumped into Lauren more than once but we kept our cool and nobody fell (Thank God). Social dancing was good....eventhough the dance floor was small and the place was pretty packed it seemed that people staggered the times they went up to dance and the floor was never too packed to dance. Of course the night did not end until ~4:45am when we all finally went to bed.
My teammates left me all alone on Saturday (punks) but they did take me to breakfast at Denny's before they left...so I still have nothing but love for you guys. Anyways, I was stranded waiting at the hotel until my girlfriend, Reyna, got there and saved me :-). She did not travel to Dallas until Saturday morning since she had prior commitments and therefore traveled with her team, SWAT (Salsa With Attitude & Timing). So SWAT and SalsaEddy Project got in Saturday since that was the night they were scheduled to perform. We all hung out and went to eat dinner at On the Border (Beltline Dr). Everyone then went back to the hotel and got ready to go to a different club to perform, 5th Avenue.
The performances were all good. The Project rocked it again and got another standing ovation. SWAT had a clean routine and did great. I wanted to dance so badly that night and there was plenty of girls to dance with. In fact, there was too many people there and the floor was too packed. People resorted to dance on the carpet around the floor but even that real estate got crowded very quickly. I think 5th Avenue is the happening Salsa club in Dallas on Saturdays and therefore it was very packed. That was my only issue because I don't like dancing with new girls when its that packed because I don't do good. Afterwards we split from the group who wanted to go to IHOP but we couldn't even find a place to park. So we headed to Denny's and ran in to Angel, Jessica and the rest of the San Antonio salseros. Again, the night ended around 4-5 am.
All in all, the weekend was good. We all got back safe t0 Houston. Want to thank Benito for picking me up at the airport. U my dog! Thanks to Mark for letting us ride back with him to Houston and not leaving us stranded in Dallas or having to throw our thumbs in the air.
Well the next trip is to the Vegas Strip. Work is footing the bill since I am going to an EPA seminar, Talk about a boondoggle :-). Anyway, they are only paying for the hotel (Harrah's) the days I am there for work. The other two days comes out of yours truly's pocket so we going to Motel 6 for that. Anyway, Reyna and Vanessa (my sis) are coming with so it should be a fun trip. I am looking forward to watch a show or two. And I guess I can play the nickel slots...I am not big on gambling but I guess it's a sin to go to Vegas and not gamble at all.
Anyway, that's all for now.
