Hola Salseros! Formatting messed

It's
been a crazy few weeks at SalsaBoston HQ, in part because I've been out of town,
but also because of so many things going on! Did you make the 4th of July
cruise? 450 attended and had a fantastic time, despite the "ho hum" wet
weather. I'd say we were much dryer on the Salsa Boat though than the poor
sobs at the Esplanade! Join us this Sunday for the NEXT
cruise.
Coming up this mega-Salsa-weekend: Saturday: Salsa on
the River Party! http://salsaboston.com/river
Sunday daytime: Latino Festival at Fenway Park, including Tito Rojas
Sunday evening: Salsa Cruise #5 with SalsaBoston and Avive
Productions! D.Martinez & Mike
Mercado on board.
and of course we'll be open again at An Tua Nua next
Wednesday.
More details on these events below.

River - benefitting CBI's youth programs - DJ's D.Martinez and Hernan,
performances, lessons, cash bar, and more! - there will be real dance floors
set up (yes, this will be nothing less than a SBC high quality event) -
expecting 400-600 in attendance throughout the evening - hosted by Community
Boating - beer and wine

event.

Join us this Sunday, July 8, for the 5th
Salsa Harbor Cruise of the 2007 season! Cruise tickets are on sale online
now! $19 advance, all ages. http://salsaboston.com/cruise

deck Salsa with DJ D. Martinez and Latin

Mojitos, free for attendees
While we make every effort to keep the price
affordable, unfortunately this year there is a $2 per passenger fuel surcharge
to make up for the high price of gasoline. However, we got them to give us
a bit more time on the water this year to make up for it.
Also, do you
work for a company? Have them set up a group outing for you, and they
might even pay for it! Many HR departments have budgets for that.
Here's the flyer: http://salsaboston.com/cruise07/groups/groups07.pdf
***
We are looking for cruise sponsors *** If your firm is looking to market
to a diverse community this summer, this year's sixteen-cruise series is
the perfect opportunity for some great direct advertising exposure to over 5000
individuals who attend, plus our extensive marketing campaign. Contact
olaf@salsaboston.com for inquiries, or call

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.
