My roommates decided to throw a "Leap Years Eve" party in honor of the extra day of the month this year. The theme was "fondue and latin jazz." I contributed the latin jazz part. I recently discovered a new genre of music, best described as Bossa nova (a brazilian form of jazz music that evolved from samba), and it is quickly becoming my new obsession. Some favourite artists: Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 (you might recognize a remake of one of their songs, Mais que nada, by the black eyed peas), Caetano Veloso, Nara Leao, Astrud Gilberto, and Dorival Caymmi.
We provided a Smörgåsbord of delicious dips and treats (see photo) from which i became violently ill after I consumed about 7 times more than my stomach could handle.
We ended the night with a guitar hero tournament which, surprisingly, didn't involve a contest of guitar playing skill but of poise...as you can see by the photos I am the proud winner of this contest.
