@>---- Saturday, April 28, Tango By The River, 128 J Street, Old Sacramento -- Kiss And Tango Milonga! if you needed an opportunity to share a kiss or two! Here are some tips and rules for the day:
1) There is no upper limit to the number of kisses you can share today. 2) It is recommended you limit your kisses to just one mate. 3) If you don't have a mate, it's perfectly acceptable to kiss someone who is not formally your mate. 4) You can kiss your mate wherever you want. 5) Giving candy or flowers is not required. But we predict that those who do will receive more kisses. 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Cost $10. DJ: Peter Baldridge.
Saturday, May 12, 2012 -- LEATHER AND LACE MILONGA! Let there be leather ... let there be lace ... or even a combination of the two! Have some fun! 9 p.m.-1 a.m.
