Sunday

        Tango Houston hosts their practica at Serrano's, 2815 South
        Shepherd at Kipling.  713-528-4550.  It's a great venue:
        super location, excellent sound system, lots of room,
        and a neat atmosphere. With more room, we are going back
        to labelling this event as a practica. There should be
        plenty of space in which to teach, practice, work on class
        material, in addition to just dancing for fun. The food is
        great, so come early for supper, and there is a full bar.
        We'll crank it up about 8:00, like always, and plan to get
        out by about 11:00. We hope you come check it out! Cover
        charge is $3.00 for members, and $5.00 for non-members.
