[HouTango-L] Tango This Week (4/19/04)

Thu Apr 22 20:36:25 UTC 2004

        I apologize for not being able to send a schedule last
        week.  I was on vacation and the Internet connectivity
        was unexpectedly poor.

        Alas, last Sunday was the last tango at Cafe Matisse.
        Thank you, Cafe Matisse, for your terrific support of
        Houston tango.

        Martin & Natia host a milonga on Saturday at Barbara King.
        Natia's condition is changeable with little notice at this
        stage, but it looks like a go for now.  You might want to
        check for any last minute schedule adjustments with them.
        Victor and Susana's regular Friday milonga on the north
        side continues.

        Toe to Toe brings back Mall'onga at The Galleria this
        Saturday afternoon, starting at 5pm between Macys and
        Saks Fifth Avenue on the first floor (entrance on the
        corner of Sage & Westheimer).  Firm dates so far 4/24,
        and 5/1.  The Galleria won't commit more than a few weeks
        at a time, so keep checking the Toe to Toe web site,
        http://www.t3tango.com/milongas.htm

        Toe to Toe has arranged to distribute a variety of
        tango shirts.  They cost $20 each and you can view the
        designs at http://www.close-embrace.com/malevaandco.html.
        Buying through Toe to Toe helps support a local tango
        organization.  Contact Leonor, <platillo12 at hotmail.com>.

        Toe to Toe announces workshops with Mario Consiglieri and
