Hello Tango Alfresco Milongeros San Francisco's HIT AND RUN TANGO ALFRESCO MILONGA cordially invites you to an alfresco Tango happening
MAIDEN LANE IN SAN FRANCISCO with Dale Meyer and his Live Tango Band STRICTLY TANGO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2000 Hours 1 til 3 PM St. Francis Hotel after for drinks and laughs and MORE TANGO On Sunday, OCTOBER 8, 2000 (weather permitting), a HIT AND RUN MILONGA will be held from 1PM to 3PM at Maiden Lane between Grant and KearnyStreets (near Union Square) in San Francisco. This is the same location as the last Hit and Run Milonga. Dale Meyer and his Strictly Tango band will provide the live music. As many of you know, Maiden Lane is closed to auto traffic so we can dance in the street and on the sidewalk. Many tourists and others will be in the area so an audience should develop. Our object is to create a 1920's like Buenos Aires street milonga scene so we ask that some of you (those who may wish) come in period dress (women in headbands, perhaps box hats, feathers, whatever - - men in double-breasted suits, hats, whatever). Of course, any dress is acceptable. As to the "run" in HIT AND RUN, the "run" part is that (those who survive) intend to escape to the St. Francis Hotel for drinks and laughs after, AND ALSO MORE TANGO, all to the beautiful live piano music of Alberto. As the St. Francis Hotel holds a very nice English Tea on Sunday afternoons in the beautiful Compass Rose Room, people there are often well dressed (for us the English Tea part is optional). The afternoon should be a lot of fun. RESERVATIONS - The St. Francis Hotel has requested that we (each party) call to reserve a table. It seems after the last Hit and Run we overwhelmed the hotel staff in the Compass Rose Room with more than sixty members of our dance group attending the afternoon high tea. The hotel is happy to have us but they would like to know we are coming so they can properly staff the room with waiters and have sufficient food on hand so as to provide excellent service. Donation - A $2.00 per person donation for the band will be appreciated. Parking - Inexpensive parking is available at the Sutter/Stockton garage. Dance surface - The street is asphalt, but the surface is fairly good, with the exception of several minor potholes (just kidding). However, it is suggested you leave your best dance shoes at home.
