Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 17:01:19 +0800 From: Kace Ong <kace @PACIFIC.NET.SG> Subject: AASP: Singapore New Year's Eve Tango/Latin/Swing Party For Y2K-Compatible Dancers Only!! ================================= Where will you be on the last hour of 1999? If you don't want to stay at home and don't want to squeeze with the mindless crowds at Orchard Road or Suntec City, why not join us at our Tango/Latino/Swing party for 200 dancers? Yes, the New Year's Eve party has been confirmed and it will be held at Food Opera, Far East Square, from 10.30pm to 6am the next morning. The venue is just behind The Pavilion, which was our first choice but I understand has been taken away from us by the Radio Corporation of Singapore. Nevertheless, this alternative venue is not bad at all. Beside around 1000 square feet of tiled floor for dancing, the main entrance faces the pedestrian-only Pekin Street, plus we get exclusive use of the heritage way (actually an air-conditioned "street") to chill out. Candide, the official party planner, has decreed that the theme of the party is "Masquerade", and so it shall be. You may wear your own costumes or masks that will be provided. She is going to give out awards to the best costumes, the best dancers, and one category that goes by the intriguing name of "least-clothed" ... perhaps she will win it herself :-) ?? Jokes aside, I hope everyone will come, even at wee hours in the morning (the party runs till 6am, remember!). We are throwing this event open to all social dancers, whether latin, swing, ballroom and whatever else there is out there. If you have a particular song request, be sure to inform me early to have it included in the playlist, or just bring down the CD on that night. Important Ticketing Details =========================== Admission to the party is $25 in advance or $35 after Christmas, and snacks and drinks are included. Considering that anywhere else in town that is open, air-conditioned, and serve cold beer will cost you a minimum of $88+++ that night, I think you have to agree this is a terrific deal. With 500,000 people expected to be downtown that particular night, there is a real danger of food and drink shortage everywhere. So, we require all who expect to come to pre-register to be on our guest list. If you show up without being listed on the guest list, then you're most likely not catered for. In other words .. sorry, no food or drink for you, even if we let you enter. For any query about the Party, call me or Candide (candidel @hotmail.com).

Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 13:58:19 EST From: Dario Mendiguren <C21DARI @AOL.COM> Subject: NA-E: Planet Tango update Dear Tango friends, We are very happy to announce that Alberto and Valorie of Planet Tango will be welcoming the year 2000 in New York City with friends Walter and MariLynne Kane and many other tangueros from various parts of the country. If you still have not made up your mind about your plans for New Year's Eve we would love to suggest that you join us at Dance Manhattan, where Lucille Krassne, Coco Arregui and Juan Pablo (Gotham's finest Tango promoters) will be hosting the New Year's Eve Milonga to commemorate the Millennium. The event will start at 10 PM and it will go on to 6 AM. The organizers wish to bring together the entire Tango community at this special time, and they have planned free flowing champagne and wine, an Argentine banquet, a multimedia faux Times Square countdown at midnight, a Y2K electric hat contest, a pageantry appropriate to a once in a Millennium party plus door prizes that include a round trip to Buenos Aires from New York. Of course there will be dancing and we look forward to see you all if you can come. The all inclusive price is $75 per person and you should call Lucille at 212.777.6053 (lukrasne @aol.com) or Coco at 212.989.3585 (cocoarreg @aol.com) Dance Manhattan, 39 West 19th Street. Happy holidays Dario
