loom - 1 yr anniversary

Omaha may not be known as a "party-central" town, but we do have our great parties. There is quite a variety of culture among the young people in Omaha. This photo was taken at España restaurant at the 1 year anniversary of a fun monthly gathering known as loom. As one article put it, the intention of loom is as follows:

This is not just about dancing, music and drinks. Rather, we want to create a communal experience - people coming together, using music as a mode of fellowship and release. loom is a monthly world-beat dance event with the intention of social progress. With an environment and music incorporating Latin, African and American culture, this event is geared towards an eclectic crowd with all ethnicities, religious, cultural and social backgrounds. This is about creating a sanctuary of sacred dance energy, of peace, of unification of all peoples.

It's great to such a varied group of people get together to celebrate and have a good time, regardless of whatever differences might keep them in different social circles in their daily lives.

JAJAJAJA!! (that's how we laugh in Spain, instead of hahahaha, maybe you know)
COOL THEN! España as a name for a bar, that sounds a bit weird for me! ;)
