[Better late than never... I apologize for the late
schedule this week. I had some computer problems.
"The computer ate my homework." -Lester]

Practica - (Women and men on the edge/verge�) this
Friday, 7 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. It's Friday and you feel
like the week has taken everything out, you're done,
you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown . . . we
at Toe to Toe don't want that. Nobody wants that. So
come join us and do some dancing, have a cup a'
joe, work on a few steps, read a book . . . unwind.

Victor continues his Friday milongas on the north side,

Buenos Aires milongas.
Mark your calendars! The Spring 2005 ALL HOUSTON MILONGA
(AHM) will be held Saturday April 9th from 8:30pm to 1:30am
at the Moon Water Grill at Waterford Marina (in Clear
Lake). Based on an original concept by Robert Schoenberg,
the next AHM will be held in a unique lakeside resort
restaurant. The evening will feature social dancing in
the beautiful Grand Dining Room, the best Argentine Tango
music, and a short Tango dancing demonstration. The Grand
Dining Room features a unique view of Clear Lake and of the
Waterford Marina, a fireplace, and a large wooden floor (of
course!). A menu will be available for guests wishing to
dine before or during the milonga. The grill also features
a full-service bar. The menu and other information about
the function will be posted on www.tangotango.us/ahm.html
as they become available. The entrance fee for the AHM is
$9 if you purchase your ticket(s) before March 20th (so
we can get an approximate head count before the event),
or $12 at the door. Don't wait, purchase your tickets
by communicating with Eric Lanoix. Complete details at
<http://www.tangotango.us/ahm.html>.
ArgenTango will also host an Our Milonga on Saturday,
