Because my Spanish is still coming along, parties can be really hard for me--you know, the whole not being able to communicate thing. But if there's music and dancing, I can hang with that.

a little night music
I went to a little house party last weekend and toted my camera. This photo is in the beginning of the night, before the dancing but after the empanadas. I liked this guy's socks.

ha. i remember doing this thing when i was in that position of offering other languages.. i think it was a way of saying, "i can't totally speak your language, but i do know another one!" i did that last summer at this party Renaud took me to in Republique and everyone ended up thinking I was Spanish because I was offering it up. It definitely made me more comfortable because I could try my French but had Spanish as a backup with a lot of those kids, many of whom had lived in Spain (and having Spanish as the backup was far more respectable than English, it turned out). It also enabled me to meet the coolest person in Paris, a friend of Renaud's who also spoke Portuguese and invited me to Berlin.
