Alright, family; last Thursday was intensely beautiful!
Started the night off with the screening of the amazing film
"Footsteps in Africa", about the nomadic Tuareg tribes of the
Sahara. After that KCRW's TOM SCHNABEL did a great set
to a dancefloor that was packed by 10:30pm! Then our own
JEREMY SOLE welcomed everyone in with a few words and
beats, before SAMBADA absolutely tore the house down with
an hour of Brazilian rhythms and harmonies!
After that, residents GLENN RED and J.SOLE went back and forth
all night on the tables, keeping the room filled until last call.
Much love to all of you for making it a special one, and to our
good friends Rae and Nickodemus for dancing all night with us!
