From the folks at ArgenTango: Thanks for everyone's
support at our milonga last week. We had a great
time together. This Saturday's practica at Dance Art
is canceled. Our next milonga is scheduled on June, 3rd.
See you there! P.S. Angela could not find her shoes
at the milonga. They are a brown pair of sandles.
If anyone happens to find them, please send us an email
at <dance at argen-tango.com>. Thanks!
Due to Mothers Day and Memorial Day this month, the
Sunday Clear Lake Persian tea-time milonga switches to

Julia Ward <JuliaAnn at hotmail.com> [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.]
