Last week there was a full lounge (80+ on the guest list) and a good opportunity to talk with native speakers of Russian, Spanish, Hindi, Dutch, Chinese, Swedish, Hebrew as well as the usual suspects, and there was dancing.

This week the party includes a concert from the Russian/ Welsh duo (guitar & violin) called Future Free. They're taking part in the Troubadour Contest March 29th (see http://troubadour.de.com) and have flyers that will get you into the Schlot for one Euro cheaper. They hope you will fall in love with their sound, as many have, and come along to vote for them. The concert this week is at 10pm.

Last week (in verse)
What I remember are
the band and a sound I will call
creative genius that started near the red
lamps, and girls putting on their glasses
to see just who are these guys,
and a tension of happiness
in oppressive weather until--
sometimes you just gotta get up and dance!

If you'd like to find a language partner, it's best to get there by 8 or so. Ask for me if I don't see you as you come in.

Last week after the party I phoned my mother, who lives just outside Seattle, with the party report.
"And how many people were there from Seattle this week?" she asked.
"Five."
"That's what I call a lot."
"It was more than the Russians and Poles combined."
"Well, if you see Betty Haines tell her her grass needs watering."
"Okay."
