Hola Salseros! Formatting messed

(Why
is it snowing outside?)
So... have you ever looked up the word "chagrin"
in the dictionary? Here's what it says: "disquietude or distress of mind
caused by humiliation, disappointment, or failure." It's a good word, very
telling, good ring to it. Well, much to my _chagrin_, the plans for the
Saturday "Miami Club at <insert venu>" have failed again, this time of
course at the Radisson as previously rumored. Salseros, this has been a
frustrating battle of indecision, reversals, wishy-washiness, and even deceit by
the management of no less than four venues over the last year. BUT! I
promise I will find you a place that will become Boston's hottest Salsa
party! Stay tuned.
See you at An Tua Nua tonight of course!

On another note, there has been a suggestion to do instructor and
DJ reviews on the website, similar to the club reviews. There is a little
poll on the home page, so vote if you want, and also feel free to email me your
opinions or post them on the message board.
And of course, cruise
season #6 approaches! We have a lot of interest in group bookings tis year
so the parties will be bigger and better than ever. Contact me asap if you
have a group outing in mind. Also, I am told the boat will have an
official Mojito making machine on board this year. We'll be testing it out
fairly soon to insure that it meets our high standards.
Salsa/Latin

The cruises are of course going to continue as always, but we're booking these
parties to help make the party each week bigger and better. If your
company is interested, or you belong to a social group, college organization, or
are a promoter that might be interested in having a group attend on a specific
date, please let me know who to contact about it (email olaf@salsaboston.com)
and we'll send some information to them. Private charters are available
too. Last year's website: www.salsaboston.com/cruise info is still correct.
See you on the

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. www.salsaboston.com/congress/shop

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.
