[Tango-L] [SA] RE: San Diego close embrace Festival 2010

[HBBOOGIE1@aol.com]

You are absolutely right the “close embrace” has  been taken out of the 
San Diego Festival web site. After 
calling it the  “close embrace festival” for so many years it will take a 
little time to drop  the “close embrace”.
Just like it took us years to drop the “Der” in Der  Wienerschnitzel but 
they continue to serve the original chili cheese  dog.

In reading the various comments and  criticisms of the San Diego Tango 
Festival, I make no excuses for poor floor  craft and bad navigation skills... 
regardless of style of dance...

I am  bothered by mis-information however...

I just took the time to revisit  and review their  website...

http://www.sandiegotangofestival.com/

Maybe I'm missing  something, somewhere... but, I've visited and carefully 
read each page.  I  can NOT find the term 'close embrace' used anywhere on 
the site... 

I can  not comment on this year's event, except to say that I wish I'd been 
 there.  My prior experiences make it one of my favorite festivals.  I  
completely enjoy the festival... the friends who attend... and the San Diego  
community.  

Then again... I've never been to a milonga... let alone  a festival... 
where there were no examples of poor floor craft... including  truly 'close 
embrace'  events...
