[ This Friday ] Your first Intercalary Day Milonga at Lumiere?

* It happens that we are in a leap year right now, and this Friday happens to be Feb. 29th. How many times have you been to a milonga in the "intercalary day"? Considering the rarity, you surely want to be in Lumiere Milonga this Friday dancing "a full"!

[ Lumiere Milonga ]
Time: Fridays from 8 pm to 12 am
Place: Lumiere Cafe ( No.15, Alley 14, Lane 283, Sec.3, Roosevelt Rd., Taipei; close to Lane 86, Sec.3, Xinsheng South Rd.)
Entrance: NT250 including soft drinks
Tel: (02) 23643440
Tango DJ: Stacy
Dress code: We were thinking of a discount for those who dressed in a way that kind of represented the leap year nature... obviously this seems to be a too difficult task!
Activity: Then we thought we might get a discount for those who came together with the girlfriend or boyfriend that belonged to the previous leap year... Had to waive the idea to avoid things getting out of control...
So: Just come with your camera and leave clear evidence that you have been to a milonga on Feb. 29th! Might get you a discount on the next leap year!
