Helios and have a milonga in the evening instead. Sunday
milonga at Helios begins October 16. Starting at 8PM-11PM.

Glover Gill is taking the next Monday off. He'll be back
at The Big Top on Monday, October 24.
How to subscribe: There is a link at the bottom of
every HouTango-L email. Go ahead and check, I'll wait
while you scroll down... That link is the easiest way
to have anyone subscribe to this mailing list. It is
also possible to unsubscribe there, but that involves
finding your password, which is rather a pain. But it
is the easiest and fastest way to subscribe, so just
forward any tango email to an interested person with a
note to click on the bottom link. For spam/virus/prank
reasons, I never add anyone to the list directly anymore.
Everyone has to respond to the confirmation request
sent by the list software, and I use the same web form
to start that process for new subscribers. It is just
slower when I do it than having the new subscriber do it
all themselves in a minute or two.
Missed a tango email? Need the calendar while away from
your computer? You can always refer to past tango email
