Well,
it finally happened! There's a new floor, yes, brand new from scratch, at
An Tua Nua. I'm told many salseros have been staying in Wednesdays because
of the old floor, and frankly I can't blame them, but that problem is solved and
I want to welcome everyone back! This week we'll break it in, and next
week is our official grand reopening party to welcome everyone back, and we will
be featuring a whole host of new and special stuff for you. Looking
forward to seeing you all again! www.salsaboston.com/antuanua
Also,
a big congrats to all the Bostonians who performed in LA! Looking
good! We're gearing up for the 5th Annual Boston Salsa Congress(TM) Sept.
16-18 at Springstep, promising even more fun than last year. I spoke to
many of our invitees, and they are all supremely excited. Event passes go
on sale next week, when the website goes up. Stay tuned.

All you Latin night lovers out there, if you
haven't been to Vertigo lately, it's been a sellout crowd! Come early,
don't forget your discount pass from the website. Plus, if you have
friends that can't dance, bring them to the Salsa for Gringos lesson, now at
9:30pm! www.salsaboston.com/vertigo
Finally, many of you in the last few
weeks got invitation passes to the Maxim Magazine Bud Light "Infocate" party
this Friday at Felt. I still have a couple passes if you want to go, or if
you have a pass and can't go, let me know. The website also says you can
RSVP at events@feltclubboston.com, but I can't promise anything. See you
there.

An
Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just
outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's). In the back
they have a dance club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a
sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge
seating.
Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train),
plenty of street and lot parking.
Irish/America/Bar food available until
10pm. I have eaten there, it is tasty and modestly priced.
Note:
they have Karaoke with my man Kev MacDaddy in the front portion of the bar when
you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!
Full Bar. Please check your coat.

Week's Mailbag ****************************
1) Havana Club
Update
******************************************************************* 1) Dear
Friends,
Havana Night: Thursdays at Mantra is great fun! For the
second week in a row, over 200 people partied Havana Club style
and enjoyed a cool, classy evening of Latin music and dancing.
And because the rain precluded everyone from checking out Mantra, this
week will be another Open House with free admission (no cover charge). Please
note that our Latin Lounge cocktail party now begins at 10pm.
Friday
Night Salsa is awesome! And this week I again expect 300+ cool, classy
salseros to dance the night away. And, as always, we welcome all feedback and
we continue to improve the evening.
Mambo Mondays continues to be a
relaxed, chill night where beginners can become comfortable with salsa's
rhythm and steps, and can connect with others in a welcoming environment.
Salsa y Control's Andres Giraldo teaches the beginner salsa
lessons.
