Hey all,
I’ve wanted it, but, now that it’s here,…dare I say it that I’m overwhelmed (albeit ecstatic)…by the exciting Cuban cultural opportunities that are in our midst these days!!  (ok, really just overwhelmed by the cost to travel from our Seattle nest…cuz i want to do it all!! haha!)
Regionally – As gianthoupis mentioned below, the Vancouver Rueda Festival, April 9 -11, 2010 !!
 - As DJ-T mentioned below, PUPY!! in San Francisco, April 7-11, 2010 (plays 5 days/nights)
 - Timba.com is reporting that Los Van Van’s schedule has them coming back to the US, and sweeping thru Cali for 4 shows!…ending in San Francisco on June, 20th at Stern Grove Park for Free! 
  I’ve never been here, but this  looks like an awesome setting to see Van Van, outdoors in the park!!

SO,…as I try to plan my dancing adventures…where is everyone’s thoughts on attending these shows??  Where do you think you’ll be Or will you go to both?  Ideally I’d love to see both! arg.  Email me at palacinke45@yahoo.com… if you don’t want to go public just yet.

FYI -
Internationally – I think i’ve ruled out Cubamemucho in Munich, March 17-21, 2010.   ;(
- But, still considering lesser known 6th Croatian Summer Salsa Festival,
June 22-27, 2010 in Rovinj, Croatia
http://www.crosalsafestival.com/

 (as I have roots here)  I’m actually impressed by this groups event webpage and detail of info!  I’ve had this event on my radar for several years now.  Just a gorgeous setting in Rovinj.  Each year they have some Cuban components, along with the other styles.  I’m kicking myself for not going last year…they had a good Cuban band and overall theme. arg.

Cesar “Pupy” Pedroso y Los Que Son Son is scheduled to perform at Yoshi’s in San Franciso from April 7-11. 

Almost too good to be true, but Yoshi’s is a reputable establisment.
