A
couple highlights this week:
This Saturday, Jan. 14th, is the benefit
party for Masacote's musical ventures at Spontaneous Celebrations in JP.
See mailbag for details. There is a raffle for an all expense paid cruise
going on, so don't miss making a worthy donation with a perk.
Also (and a
correction from last week), New on Thursdays! North Shore: Fellow
Salsero Greg Coles has opened a new Thursday night at FINZ Restaurant in
Salem. Originally it was at Straga Restaurant, two week ago, but it was so
full they booked a larger venue. See mailbag for those
details.
And... Salsa Wednesdays at An Tua Nua tonight as usual, I'll see
you there! www.salsaboston.com/antuanua DJ Hernan in the
house.
*HARBOR CRUISE UPDATE*
We just scheduled this year's
6th Annual Salsa Habor Cruise Series! Expanded from last year, we're
starting a week earlier, and ending a week later. Every Sunday plus July
4. In a few weeks we'll have a flyer out for group bookings and the cruise
website will be updated. If you think your company or organization might
want to book a group outing, now is the time to plan it. One way is simply
to take the flyer-to-be to your HR department or event planner and say "Hey, we
should do this!" If you're a coordinator of a social club or an event
promoter, opportunities to partner with us for some cruises us are
available. Email olaf@salsaboston.com or call 617-513-9841 Last
year's website: www.salsaboston.com/cruise
Also, we're looking for an
marketing intern or two to help us this spring. The position carries some
pay and some commission. If you're interested in joining the team, send me
a couple paragraph about yourself and a resume of sorts if you have one
handy.
*MISC NOTES*
- Lots of Salsa studio classes are starting up
this week. See the mailbag for details. - Also, save the date,
Sat. March 24 is the 7th annual Fiesta de Baile in Nahant, benefitting the North
Shore Civic Ballet. Stay tuned. - Mambo Mondays has moved to Hoffa's in
Havard Square
See you on the
dancefloor! -Olaf

Have you checked out Masa? If you're up for a casual night and some dining
and an upscale bar, this place is cool on Thursdays. Casual lesson around
10pm, a mix of music, no cover. 439 Trement St, South End, Boston
*
If you missed the Congress or if you enjoyed it but didn't make it to the
congress shop, the DVD will be out by mid November at the latest and probably
sooner, and also Congress embroidered shirts (mens and ladies), caps, and hand
towels are available. We still have a lot of things to pay for this year,
so every purchase helps out. Shirts and the video are $20 each, and the
caps and towels $10. Buy any two and you get $5 off, so the video and a
shirt would be $35.

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, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and
lot parking.
Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm. I have
eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.
Note: they
have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy 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.

******************************************************************* 1) (Salsa
at FINZ, Salem, MA)
Beloved Friends and Salseros,
I did not know
that having a back up plan would pay off so quickly; but, it
has.
We have a new venue that incorporates pretty much all of your
suggestions and feedback. We are no longer in a mixed space where we
contend for the attention of the staff or get the feeling of being in a fish
bowl among non-dancers. At FINZ (www.hipfinz.com), we will have our own
room, our own bar, and even our own bathrooms.
You said that you wanted
to have an earlier start and get to bed early enough for the following
day. Therefore, we will start at 7:30PM and go until 11:30PM (these times
are flexible but earlier seemed to make sense based on feedback). That
way, you can enjoy an earlier night while having your full compliment of dinner,
dance and fun. For food, you can order bar food downstairs throughout the
night - you place your order downstairs (the kitchen is open until 10 PM), you
pick it up and eat it either upstairs or downstairs. Or, you can meet
Martha and me beforehand for a full meal.
The food at FINZ is
excellent!
We will have a 6PM reservation to make sure we get off
to an early enough start. But, of course, you can reserve later and come
up just for the dance party. Call us (617-620-3022) to let us know if you
want to join us for dinner or call FINZ at 978-744-0000 to make a separate
reservation.
The cost is still just $15. We will have a full table
of water available but there is also a cash bar upstairs (with us) and
downstairs (with the public) for drinks.
Everything about FINZ is first
rate. However, what really makes a party is you!! We look forward to
seeing Thursday night. Please let me know that you are coming!!
Much
Love,
Greg
Coles
