Tango marathons

[Dan Boccia <redfox @alaska.net>]

It was great to hear Robin's note about how much fun he had in Washington
D.C. at the marathon weekend they had recently.  These relatively low-key,
inexpensive events really do help bring whole regions, even whole countries
(continents?) together to dance like crazy.  Dancing 30 hours in a weekend
means that we get WAY into tango, just totally immersing ourselves into our
dance.  It always amazes me how much stress-free, positive human energy can
be created by these events.  It is definitely true that there is a constant
flow of energy up and down the US west coast, and this traveling tango
family seems to get together every few months for a huge blowout of epic
proportions.

Thanks to the people who organize these all-night milongas and marathon
weekends or extended weekends, we get to experience uncommonly energized
dancing in a low-key, comfortable, affordable atmosphere - THANK YOU!
