Sept 2 Labour Day Milonga
Sept 9 or 16 = Yes, if we really want to be dancing outdoors, because we missed a bunch of Saturdays.
Whether the weather: or how to know if a milonga is happening. Decisions are sometimes made as late as 5 pm on Saturday, so DO check my web site before heading down, if the situation looks iffy.
Dance floor & set-up: we dance on taped together sheets of vinyl rolled out over the wooden planks of the boardwalk. Set-up of the dance floor requires about 4 limber volunteers. Consider being one of them now and then. If the floor gets wet, due to sudden showers, or dew, I will stop the dancing due to risk of slipping.
By Donation: cash or e-transfer.
Seating: Benches provided on site, or bring a chair or find one on the boardwalk.
Bathrooms: Closest are Bicycle Thief Restaurant Bishops Landing (north) or Garrisons Brew Pub at Seaport (south).
Parking: Seaport lot free, Morris St, Hollis St, Super Store, etc.
*Jazz Festival congestion July 15 = try to avoid having to drive from Morris down Lower Water St during the festival – it doesn’t move and you cannot turn left for ever.
