    hey david. thanks for your trackback, but i’m actually a woman. i also should have mentioned that the party was called “furacão” — also a well known funk collective in rio.

    Thanks for the correction atari in rio. Sometimes I take the unwise risk of guessing gender when I’m not entirely sure. If only we had a genderless possesive like Portuguese and Spanish do. Look forward to reading more of your experiences in Brazil.
