Zili Misik at the Beehive

I met theBand Zili Misik last night through my fellow dragon boat paddler, Anhdao! Anhdao takes photos for the band and have known veteran members for years. Here, JoBeth, a filipina, does the drums. Rajdulari, in the middle does vocals and percussion. Zili Misik is a 8-woman band that plays afro-cuban music. I love the high paced jungle beats and the happy tempo they play. Their performace is phenomenal that I highly recommend them if you are looking for a night full of dance and fun. Check them out on http://www.zilimisik.com/ and http://www.sonicbids.com/epk/epk.asp?epk_id=34478 and http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=27259505.

Hartford Dragon Boat Race

My second race for this season...we raced in Hartford, Connecticut last Sept 15. It was a rainy, chilly day to start. We paddled with a temperature in the high 60's which for me is crazy cold. But, the gods heard our plea and let the sun out in the afternoon. We did our best and came home with the bronze! DBCB team is the best!...waiting to kick as next season...
