Say it out loud: milonga thousand by twenty!

ANITA’s Milonga 1000/20

FRIDAY | OCTOBER 30, 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM | DJ Steve Darmo

We are spending this whole weekend with a man who listened to 1,700 tangos to find nine endings. It seemed wrong to give the party a name you could just read.

Dress code: two colors, half and half. Down the middle, top and bottom, left and right, however you want to split yourself. Fifty-fifty. Pick your two and commit.

No Halloween. Save the costume for the events day after.

And the part that is not in code: this one matters to me. It is a round number; it comes around once, and the only thing on the list I actually want is a floor full of people I care about. Come and let me see your face in the room.

No gifts. If you insist, it has to divide 1000.

PRE-MILONGA LECTURE

Things You Have Danced a Hundred Times

Steve spent years with the orchestras and the lyrics while writing the book. This is 45 minutes on what he found.

What the songs are actually about. What was happening in the room when they were recorded. The details sitting inside music you already know by heart and have never once looked at directly.

No dancing, nothing to prepare. Come at eight, listen, then stay for the milonga.
