Melita, Mike and Annie at the Mixx. Estatic dance night. So what’s the difference between Estatic, techno and trance dancing?
NY…finally!
Had and early morning drive to Fort Lauderdale to make my 7a.m. flight to New York via DC. When we got to DC another jet was parked near our gate so we had at least a 1/2 hour wait before we were able to get to the jetway with a plane full of anxious passengers [...]

REginaSPEKTor
Regina Spektor on YouTube Okay, Maile clued me into Regina Spektor and she’s right, the music is addictive. A voice that can sound innocent, lyrics that are sometimes very poetic, or very pop, and she plays not just the piano keyboard but I read that she taps a wooden chair with a drumstick in some [...]
