Everything is on a holiday schedule this weekend,
so be sure to confirm any event before heading out.
The Fandango de Tango is also the big event this weekend
in Austin. Martin & Natia have suspended their Friday
and Saturday events. Tango Oblivion has moved up their
date from Saturday to Friday this month only.

Alicia & Juan Carlos Suarez write:
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continuous support throughout the
year. Because of you, we had a successful Milonga at
the Melody Club last Saturday. It was a night filled
with great Tango dancing, music, and memories! We hope
that you continue to enjoy the great art of Tango during
this year's Holiday season, and for many years to come.
You have truly made a tremendous success over the last
3 and half years! Also "Thanks a Million" to Melody Club
owner Donn DeGeorge for his support, too.
--Best regards, Alicia and Juan Carlos
The biggest tango event in Texas is coming over
Thanksgiving, the Fandango de Tango in Austin.
The Saturday milonga is about as close to an All
Texas Milonga as we get. All the details are at:

Note: You can attend Tango Oblivion on Friday night
and still make a full day or two of the Fandango
in Austin on Saturday/Sunday.
