> New Class Series at EsquinaTango (Austin) A beginner class series starts tomorrow (Thursday May 1), and intermediate and advanced series start Monday (May 5).
> Substitute Teachers at Mario's While Judith is away, various local teachers will be teaching the Monday classes at Mario's. Scheduled are: May 5: Frank Huddleston, May 12: Terry Bauch, May 19: Frank Huddleston again, unless Judith is back, in which case it will be Judith.
> This Friday: UT Milonga (Austin)
> Austin Stuff There are a number of other things happening in Austin and nearby. I mention some, some I don't. To see them all, check out the "Austin Tango Calendar" in the "Handy Links" section below. You can also subscribe to the Austin Tango mailing list(s) from there.
> Carpooling If any of you would like to carpool to some of the events outside San Antonio, send me an email (you can reply to this one if you want), and I'll try to hook you up: I can't guarantee anything, but I'll try. If you can offer a ride, say so, and how many people you could take. I think it's only fair to share fuel expenses if you ride with someone.
