     Subscription info: visit http://salsaboston.com/list

Highlights in the next few weeks:
- Salsa cruise every Sunday (http://salsaboston.com/cruise)
- Larry Harlow at the Hyatt Sat. July 21 (scroll down)
- Spanish Harlem Orchestra Thur, Aug. 1 (see mailbag)
... and of course SalsaBoston's swanky Salsa party at An Tua Nua every Wednesday

Lots of class schedules in the mailbag.

Did you catch "Candela con Vela, Salsa on the River" last Saturday?  It was a wonderful party, *only* people 350-400 there (due to 7/7/07 wedding mania it turns out...), and the next one is August 25.  Save the date!  Many thanks to JJ Productions, Community Boating, DJ's D.Martinez and Hernan, Harpoon Brewery, our army of volunteers, and SalsaBoston's great staff for making this party happen!  About $4000 was raised for the Community Boating Junior Program urban outreach fund.  Photos will be online in a few days, plus check Hernan's and D.Martinez' galleries!


The next HOT ticket coming up is this one, with DJ Hernan with SalsaBoston at the Hyatt:

Larry Harlow and the Latin Legends Band
Salsa Party July 21st 2007
Hyatt Hotel, Presidential Ballroom Cambridge MA

A Gala Event presented by Hernan Choque

  "That special sound that the Fania created is still alive and well in the Larry Harlow Orchestra. The band was tight, the singing was inspired and the dance floor was packed!"

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 617-513-9841.

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.
