Daniela Tudoran writes about two events: Just a reminder,
it is the 4th friday of the month which means Practica
at Borders Book Store at Alabama and Kirby, on the SE
corner of the intersection. Starts at 8pm until 10:30pm,
upstairs where the cofee room is. Tango music from Srini's
and Mercy's collection. Sunday, milonga at Helios very
casual and relaxed starts at 8pm until 11pm. The first
two went very well, so don't get lazy Sunday night come
out and dance. The bar is open. Helios is an old 2 story
house with a front yard at the intersection of Westheimer
and Taft on the south side of the street. Address is
411 Westheimer. Tango music from Oscar's collection.

Sunday
[Off this week, back next Sunday]
Eric Lanoix writes: I am glad to announce that the
Clear Lake Tango Club will host a bi-weekly Persian
tea-time milonga every other Sunday from 4-6pm at
the Cyrus Persian Grill. We will start this coming
Sunday, October 23. The Cyrus Persian Grill is located
at 911, NASA Parkway, Houston TX (in the Clear Lake
area). Tel.:281-280-8200. To get there from town,
take I-45 South, exit at Exit 23, and go left (East)
Until you reach the restaurant. The restaurant offers an
excellent selection of Persian dishes (I very much liked
the food when I went). Admission is free, but guest are
encouraged to have a meal. DJ'ing will be provided by
Eric Lanoix. See you there! -Eric [Technical detail:
Apparently E NASA Road 1 has been renamed NASA Parkway.
Google Maps have yet to get the memo. Yahoo! Maps has.
Both map services show their data is derived from NAVTEQ,
so go figure. The link below says 911 E NASA Road 1,
which is the same as NASA Parkway.]
