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.

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:

*** 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 617-513-9841.

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.
