Chris, You'll need to post some pictures or video for us to see if it's worth it to make such a trek, especially when there are so many good Tango festivals in the US.
Here's the link to some photos from the last big one I was at, Tango de los Muertos (in the Boston area). I assure you, it was not half empty. http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/2007/photos/Saturday/index.html Also, here is a video of the teachers who had the audacity to teach classes at that festival. http://www.tangodelosmuertos.com/2007/Assets/media/tdlm07/Group%20320_200.mov My wife and I had a great time at this festival. So how does OsterTango measure up?
