friday night after work, i headed over to a duna csardas (sp?) with mike for tamas' birthday dinner. it was a group of about ten of us from tango. then we went to the groundlings to watch an improv show. it was a good time, low-key, no big deal. just the way i like it.
saturday morning i went to the edge to take a hip hop class. my first in a year! it's surprising how out of shape i am, but it was a great work out and a fun little routine (wipe me down!). met up with tannis afterwards for lunch at toast. while we were waiting for a table, there's this guy standing around that looks really familiar, and the instant i whisper to tannis that i think he goes to penn, he walks to us and asks "is one of you in strictly funk?" WHOA! pretty sweet. turns out i recognize him from all my comm classes. then when we finally get a table, we walk into the cafe and sitting there at a table by the door are anthony, dan and quoc, all funk alumni who are currently living in san francisco. tannis and i were very taken aback and in a state of shock through the rest of our lunch. who knew so many penn people would be at toast at the same time. after an afternoon of catching up with tannis, i went to a tango technique class in west LA.. i had no idea that a simple walk could be so technical and intricate. tannis and i made dinner at her place in marina del rey. it was so nice to be back since i lived there all last summer. post-meal i went to a house party with her and a bunch of her high school friends in beverly hills. not only did i not know anyone, but it was a pool party (and i was sans bathing suit) so i got to sit awkwardly at the edge of the pool for the whole of it. it wasn't bad though - it just wasn't great either.
sunday morning, tannis made me breakfast ;) and then we went to a salon where i got a manicure. the old white man before me tipped the asian lady big (i didn't see how much, but there was more than one bill, and that bill was a $20), so i'm thinking someone got a some happy happy in the back room. (= maybe i'm just sick-minded. my afternoon was spent at zuma beach with my favorite interns from dwa (steph, andy, felipe, allison, jade). i definitely got a little sun-burnt, but it's good. i haven't had this much color in over 2 years. i headed to the santa monica promenade around six and spent the next four hours tango'ing at the weekly milonga there. my body is sore (like whoa) from all the dancing i did this week. it's fantastic.
