I think Vish commented, "You are in dancing mood." Not exactly. Connections with pretty much all my partners up to that point were rather dismal and I thought I was struggling mightily. It was rather shocking to get asked to dance with a new girl and hear her ask me how I became so good considering on a what seemed to be an off-form night. It wasn't like there were no other good leads around. There was a guy from North London named Sam, who could do some stuff and was listening to the music while dancing.
It seemed like neither Joe nor I were in the mood to DJ. When I arrived at 10:30, Vish was deejaying - possibly with assistance from Shila. I wondered if Joe had left already or such, but he was still there and stayed behind to dance for quite a while. I wasn't exactly in dancing mood, but I guess I was in even less of deejaying mood. The longer it went, more determined I was to keep it going until I couldn't deal with it all anymore. Such moment arrived when La Salsa Nunca Se Acaba was played for the second time. It happened some time between midnight and 1 AM.
I left behind my song list elsewhere. I'm going to have to finish this later. Here's the list, more or less.

(1) At this point, Vish said it's a Reggaeton and Merengue crowd. I respectfully disagreed although I didn't voice it. I simply decided to do a rotation of 1 Reggaeton, 1 Merengue, 1 Bachata and 1 Salsa. I suppose I might not have done a repeat immediately afterwards without Vish's statement.
(2) And I broke out of that 1,1,1,1 cycle done in duplicate by playing a second Salsa in a row just before 2 AM. Actually there was quite a large crowd left over at this point happily dancing on the main floor. Vish decided that it was worth his business to keep it going after I left.
To be completed later… [after corrections made: so I don't know my Merengue very well.]
Total = 19 songs. 3 Merengue including 1 new. 3 Bachata. 2 Reggaeton. 11 Salsa including 1 new.
