Simoni, Sr." <rtssr @BATNET.COM> Subject: Hit and Run Milonga San Francisco Hello Tango Alfresco Milongeros San Francisco's HIT AND RUN TANGO ALFRESCO MILONGA cordially invites you to an alfresco Tango happening MAIDEN LANE IN SAN FRANCISCO with Dale Meyer and his Live Tango Band STRICTLY TANGO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2000 Hours 1 til 3 PM St. Francis Hotel after for drinks and laughs and MORE TANGO On Sunday, OCTOBER 8, 2000 (weather permitting), a HIT AND RUN MILONGA will be held from 1PM to 3PM at Maiden Lane between Grant and KearnyStreets (near Union Square) in San Francisco. This is the same location as the last Hit and Run Milonga. Dale Meyer and his Strictly Tango band will provide the live music. As many of you know, Maiden Lane is closed to auto traffic so we can dance in the street and on the sidewalk. Many tourists and others will be in the area so an audience should develop. Our object is to create a 1920's like Buenos Aires street milonga scene so we ask that some of you (those who may wish) come in period dress (women in headbands, perhaps box hats, feathers, whatever - - men in double-breasted suits, hats, whatever). Of course, any dress is acceptable. As to the "run" in HIT AND RUN, the "run" part is that (those who survive) intend to escape to the St. Francis Hotel for drinks and laughs after, AND ALSO MORE TANGO, all to the beautiful live piano music of Alberto. As the St. Francis Hotel holds a very nice English Tea on Sunday afternoons in the beautiful Compass Rose Room, people there are often well dressed (for us the English Tea part is optional). The afternoon should be a lot of fun. RESERVATIONS - The St. Francis Hotel has requested that we (each party) call to reserve a table. It seems after the last Hit and Run we overwhelmed the hotel staff in the Compass Rose Room with more than sixty members of our dance group attending the afternoon high tea. The hotel is happy to have us but they would like to know we are coming so they can properly staff the room with waiters and have sufficient food on hand so as to provide excellent service. Donation - A $2.00 per person donation for the band will be appreciated. Parking - Inexpensive parking is available at the Sutter/Stockton garage. Dance surface - The street is asphalt, but the surface is fairly good, with the exception of several minor potholes (just kidding). However, it is suggested you leave your best dance shoes at home. For information, call 650-328-2718

He has hundreds of them. Many are not available on compact disc. You may contact me when you are coming to Buenos Aires. Pichi

At the last Hit and Run we arrived at the Compass Rose Room with some sixty (60) plus of our dancers and quickly overwhelmed the hotel staff. The hotel would like to welcome us with good service and food, and as this requires them to put on extra waiters and secure sufficient food for our needs, they need some idea of how many of us to expect. THE HOTEL REQUESTS THAT WE CALL FOR TABLE RESERVATIONS NO LATER THAN SATURDAY. OCTOBER 7, 2000 FOR OUR INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS. Failure to do so may mean that you will be required to wait for a table. Please call the St. Francis Hotel at 415-397-7000 and ask to be connected to Compass Rose Room reservations. Donation - As the band is playing for tips only, a $2.00 per person donation for the band will be appreciated. Parking - Inexpensive parking is available at the Sutter/Stockton garage. Dance surface - The street is asphalt, but the surface is fairly good. However, it is suggested you leave your best dance shoes at home. For information, call 650-328-2718

Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 10:51:40 -0500 From: Steven Lee <tango-1 @JUNO.COM> Subject: Marcelo y Yanina in Minneapolis/St.Paul Steve Lee's Twin Cities Tango organization will be sponsoring Marcelo and Yanina in the Twin Cities (Mpls / St. Paul, Minnesota), holding workshops on the weekends of Sept 30 / Oct 1 and Oct 7 and 8 and private lessons during the week. Their private lessons are almost sold out but there is some open space in the workshops. They are very popular in the Twin Cities because of their wonderful teaching ability and style and the fact that people can use on the dance floor what they are taught. Anyone interested in the workshops can check Steve's website at http://i.am/tctango ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
