LP Before SK

August 29, 2008

My left index finger still felt strained so I was not nonplussed by not having danced much. Triple negative. Nice.

Large number of the Thursday contingent made appearance - Himalayan Ivan, Jane, Zhenzhi, Sam, Steve, Raj, Clara, Sharon, Here-indefinitely Ed, etc. There was a new crew at work behind bars as well as a new distraction for out-of-sight Vish.

I took over the DJ booth after Joe for a fairly long set – til closing. I guess I am compensating for last week and next week.

(1) David’s request.
(2) Another of David’s request before I played Y No Hago Mas Na. I decided that playing it now makes it easier for me to play the next song. It started the fastest trio of songs for the evening.
(3) Song info requested.
(4) Another song info requested.
(5) David was like, “What is this?” A setup for a token Reggaeton?
(6) I’m on a Juan Luis Guerra rut.
(7) No Mauricio by now. Actually I think he was gone before Guallando.

Total = 39 songs. 5 Merengue. 5 Bachata. 1 Reggaeton new. 28 Salsa including 6 new.

I ran into Mariella and SO on my way out. They were actually on their way to CS on a late whim. Maybe another time.
