Tango bellísimo

I went to the DC tango marathon 2008 held at Trinity College in downtown DC a few weekends ago. 11pm Saturday night to 5:30am Sunday morning I danced.
I had the great privilege of seeing Sigrid Van Tilbeurgh & Mazen Kiwan, the best tangueros I've ever seen, dance. Check out the following videos to get a taste of ridiculously good looking tango. They are both the same piece but done at different times.

Obama - a man with many ideas that turn realities

I just love the great ideas and tangible projects that are coming from the Obama campaign. Campaiging is about getting the candidate to the White House, sure, but Obama's crew is beefing up the objectives a little. They're taking remarkable steps to get the American people involved in the political process, making them more knowledgeable and empowered citizens. A few weeks ago the campaign requested new and previous donors to contribute any amount of money and 4 of those would be selected to have all expenses paid dinner with Barack himself in Chicago. The latest announcement is about Obama Organizing Fellows:

"a program that's going to train a new generation of leaders -- not only to help us win this election, but to help strengthen our democracy in communities across the country.

If you apply and are selected, you'll be trained in the basic organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on. You will be assigned to a community where you'll organize supporters. Assignments will begin in June, and you'll be required to work a minimum of six weeks over the summer.

This program is designed to give you real world organizing experience that will have a concrete impact on this election."

Keep it up the good work Obama campaign!
