Hello Alfresco Milongueros, On Sunday, October 7, 2001 (weather permitting), a HIT AND RUN MILONGA will be held from 2PM to 4:15PM at Maiden Lane (just off Union Square) in San Francisco. 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 Aries 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 Starlight Room atop the Sir Francis Drake Hotel for drinks and laughs and more Tango after. Please bring your favorite Tango CD so we can play it for dancing. The afternoon should be a lot of fun. Donation - A $5.00 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. However, it is suggested you leave your best dance shoes at home. This will be the season final Hit and Run for San Francisco. For Information call 650-328-2718.
