Ok, so now that all the chores are out of the way, let's talk salsa! This is a big week. We've got Sonora Carruseles at Jillians on Friday Night, Advance tickets are available at, http://www.salsafrisco.com, and that'll be a great show. We've also got Victor Manuelle on Saturday night at the Gift Center Pavillion (www.ticketslatinos.com). In addition, a great Saturday salsa night continues at Monte Cristo, each and every Saturday in San Francisco, and we won't even start on Cafe Cocomo's grand unveiling of their brand new dance floor next week, with two bands and a free salsa night. Big things coming!

There's a lot more going on! But, first, have you been to Top of the Mark? Ya' gotta check it out. It's a dazzling Wednesday night location in San Francisco. Lessons at 8pm (Beginners). Band at 9. Thursday? We all know it's Cocomo. But, be aware of some hot more cuban venues around town, such as Elbo Room (a place where I used to go in High School -- shhh, don't tell anybody), El Rincon, and of course, the Summer crazyness of weekends at Jellys, El Rio, and the Ramp. Salsa is crazy in the city, so get out there and dance!
