“What a great turn out last night at the Firehouse!  Dan’s band ‘The Fire Ants’ did a wonderful job with the music…, it was fun to dance to.  With that kind of turn out, I feel the Firehouse is on the right track” Ben Porto

“I just wanted to say that was a great Milonga on Friday. It was very obvious you and Chris spent a lot of time setting the atmosphere for the 'all white' theme. Loved the snow!!! Much appreciated and great music too.”  Tracey Fremd

“Kudos on the last alternativa, nice theme like always.  I also like the fact that they are a bit more intimate and not soo crowded...”  Joaquin Moreno

“…your Friday, December 1st milonga was great.  The special effects were exceptional (black light, which made all of us wearing white really "stand out" and the snow machine-where we felt like we were dancing outside on a cold winter's evening).  We enjoyed ourselves and had a great time.  Outstanding Milonga as always.” Larry & Kora

And it even snowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Great job Chris!) Wow !! Thank you to Michelle Loughlin, Chris Peake,  Kendra Kambestad… and anyone else who helped to bring in the Christmas lights.........the spirit of magic!!!!!!!!” Jeanette Fong
