        Martin & Natia write:
        "The winners for the Best Costume for the Halloween Milonga
        are: Alba & Santiago, Susana & Tomas, Tom & Mance, Irmana
        & Matt.  Thank you all for the Hauting Milonga - it was
        lots of fun.  And thanks to the Baton Rouge dancers."

        And on a sad note, we will certainly miss the grass roots
        organizing efforts of the EmbracingTango folks:

        "EmbracingTango (formerly Argentango) invite you to our
        LAST milonga this Saturday. Snacks, wine and soft drinks
        are provided.  Plus pleasant surprises!  We'd like to
        thank everyone who has been coming to enjoy dancing with
        us during the last 18 months. We had great time and lots
        of fun together.  Let's celebrate our last milonga, enjoy
        wonderful DJ work by Tomas and Mario, and make our tango
        moments most memorable.  See you all on the dance floor."

        EmbracingTango hosts their last "Our Milonga" this
        Saturday evening, Nov 4, from 8:30pm-12:30am at Dance
        Art, inside the Sterling Plaza, 9888 Bellaire Blvd,
        Suite 166, near Beltway 8, $10/person at the door.
        Come join our milonga for an evening of fun. Snacks

        importantly, Your Tango Shoes.  Warm up your feet and have

        Argentine Tango Milonguero on Thursday nights, beginning
        October 26. Other classes and class levels may be added
