5:11 PM: do you ban tango? [#] [0]
sven, leopoldo & i went tangoing last night! reed hosted a milango, an argentine dance. i had trouble capturing the attention of boys from across the room, but with the high ratio of girls to boys, sven & leopoldo had active dance cards. merr! and i danced with some girls who were waiting to be danced with; it turns out the two best leads i had, in fact, were both girls (and i was told more than once i was both a good lead and a good follower). however, i would have appreciated some sort of identification stickers: "i'm new to tango!" or "i'll dance with anyone!" or "i'm only dancing with the person i came with." i had a really lovely time. everyone should bring two dance partners with them. :)
and i had never been to reed before, though i have some vague recollections of the area as a place rob & i used to pass when he lived in that direction. so at 1 a.m. i got to have a personal tour (swings! bridge! the windy thing!), though truncated by cold and rain.
before the tango, sven & i went to another series of short films at the pdx experimental film festival. sven liked "gestalt," a 3d metal extravaganza; i liked "tape 5925: amy goodrow," because of its juxtaposition and dynamics (and, i suspect, because it was one of the least abstract ones).
