BAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS!

For those of you who may not have heard yet, it has come to the attention of city hall that Atomic Bean Cafe is hosting events for which they do not have a permit. What does this mean you say? I know, I was confused and so were the people at the Bean. Well apparently you need a permit to DANCE in an establishment in cambridge. An inspector needs to come by and make sure the room is "safe" for dancing. The kind folk at the Bean tried really hard to get us this permit for Sunday, but because of the short notice they were not able to. I apologize that this had to happen right before the final good bye milonga. The good news is that we will be having the milonga celebration at NETA instead. THEY WON'T STOP US FROM DANCING!!! the other good news is that once they can arrange for the inspector to come, and he gives us the okay, the milonga at Atomic Bean can continue, with our new wonderful organizers, Gabrielle and Eve. SO this sunday we hope to see you and say good bye at NEW ENGLAND TANGO ACADEMY, where milonga nueva happens. 620 Cambridge Street, Cambridge.
