John Boulet (guitarist and inventor of Le Technique), Tamara Sol Flys as a sexy scientist (in real life, a sexy scientist anyway) and Lenore Boulet, a pianist who has a flamenco repertoire. October 31, 2003 10:20pm John and Lenore used to perform weekly at the former Andalucía Restaurant in Bethesda. Incidentally, Lenore is a big fan of the flamenco-influenced jazz pianist Chano Dominguez, who will be in DC this Saturday November 8 at the Library of Congress.

"Dr" Tamara prepares to work on a patient October 31, 2003 10:55pm In real life, Tamara is working on a doctorate in cellular and molecular medicine, so eventually we'll have to really call her Dr Tamara. The Pink Flamenco house is a former dental office complete with dilapidated dental equipment.

She's a little messy but it's OK. She's still in school. October 31, 2003 10:57pm

The patient returns the favor. October 31, 2003 11:00pm

Roman Rojas jamming with John Boulet November 1, 2003 12:03am Roman, originally from Venezuela, is a jazz pianist based in New York. He was very fascinated by our flamenco jam session. He plays a little bit of guitar and with a few quick tips joined in. (Notice the dental equipment in the background.)

Guitarist Amilcar Cruz as screwed in the head and Joanna Szczepanska as a beautiful tavern wench November 1, 2003 1:36am Both had just come from work at Bambule. Joanna, originally from Poland, works as one of the hostesses at Bambule. She also lives here in the Pink Flamenco house.

Steve without the mask November 1, 2003 2:27am Steve is a major supporter of this website. He hosted it on his home-based web server for a year. His pic on the opening page.

RJ and Steve in a moment of late night inspiration November 1, 2003 3:02am They regularly perform with the local Spanish dance group, Danzamarina, directed by Micaela Mar. It seems like the jam session in this room has been going on all night.

Steve takes a break from the guitar to join Kirsten (as a dominatrix) in the "grand ballroom." November 1, 2003 4:13am

OK, no more pics. Will someone turn off the fog machine already? :) November 1, 2003 4:40am My thanks to everyone who came to the party--if you didn't get an invite or if you are interested in hosting a party or arts event at the Pink Flamenco, an email.
