I was covered in goose bumps re...Oh Querida Cherie<br />I was covered in goose bumps reading your wonderful summary of La ideal. <br />In early 1999 I entered the milonga there on my first day arriving in BsAs. As you wrote ( in other words) we few were admired as novelties and hence learned to dance on the salon floor with many of the besieging milongueros many of whom have since passed on.<br />Thank you dear Cherie for a voyage down memory lane.<br />Besos<br />EleanoraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-11276115674830549872011-12-09T16:26:41.079-08:002011-12-09T16:26:41.079-08:00Thank you for that fond reminder Cherie.
Re the e...Thank you for that fond reminder Cherie.<br /><br />Re the endearing dilapidation...<br /><br />The first time I danced at Ideal, it was to live music that my date had warned would probably stop if the expected rain was strong. My puzzlement at this was resolved when we met and she explained that in-leaking rain often reached the stage's electrical supply and blew the fuses. The rain that afternoon wasn't enough to blow the fuses - just enough to make puddles on the dance floor. We took extra special care to keep our feet out of those puddles :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546555586986008873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-69253878126818319252011-12-08T23:42:54.570-08:002011-12-08T23:42:54.570-08:00Thank you Cherie - for the history and the link to...Thank you Cherie - for the history and the link to the doco. I do hope it gets rescued before it falls into complete disrepair it has so many ghosts and such atmosphere.Angelina Tanguerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566567889236872312noreply@blogger.com
