In Reply to: Havana Club's Friday Night Salsa is HUGE! This week is KEY! posted by Jeff on June 22, 2004 at 17:58:30:
: Dear Friends,
:
: On behalf of the Friday Night Salsa team, I'd like to thank everyone who helped
: make Friday so successful. Beyond the fact that we had 230 people attend, it was
: a very cool and classy event. Special notes of thanks go to the team - Salsa y
: Control, Jamnastics, the MIT Rueda Team, Juliana, Ivan & Sylvie, and Ben. And I'd
: like to thank the entire salsa community for coming together in such a wonderful way.
:
: This week is critical; if we throw another excellent party then we have a
: great chance of being able to keep the venue for the long term!
:
: If you want to have a beautiful place to dance on Friday evenings, come out
: this Friday to support the new venue! And invite your friends who like to
: drink. My doorman, Ben, will let new people who are designated drinkers get
: in for free! Also, to keep costs down, this week we won't have food.
:
: And I'd like let folks know that we are resolving the minor issues with the venue.
