(1) 6th Annual Labor Day Milonguero Festival in Denver, Sept 1-5, 2005 organized by Tom Stermitz. As Tom say's, "The Denver Milonguero Festival honors the style of the great social dancers of Buenos Aires: close, subtle & romantic. Recapture that Buenos Aires experience!" A bunch of us from the Northwest will be there and I hope you can join us. For details see: http://www.tango.org/lab05.html (2) 9th Annual Portland TangoFest, Oct 12-18.
