Don´t miss!!! Really, don´t even think about not going!!!

A few years ago, the argentine producer Gustavo Santaolalla, organized a tango concert at the theatre Colon. I didn´t go but I saw the video "Cafe de los Maestros" (that you have to buy, and it was amazing. The musicians who played that day at the Colon were very old, a lot of them retired and in my opinion, the real thing. They don´t play Tango, the are Tango (I´m starting to sound like a bad magazine for tourist). 

Anyway, They are playing tomorrow at el Planetario in Palermo, and it´s one in a lifetime opportunity. If you are in Buenos Aires and you don´t go, you are the worst loser ever. I didn´t go to the Colon when they played and a bunch of them died. I won´t be that stupid this time.

GO!!!

7.30PM at el Planetario

Help children while you get drunk

You are enjoying your vacations in Buenos Aires and lets face it, you are thinking more about taking than giving. It´s ok, I don´t blame you. You are worried about your own happiness and, after all you work every single day to get these free days  (that you are now spending in BA).

But, here you have the best way to avoid the feeling of tourist who is taking advantage of a 3rd world country and drink yourself to death at the same time. 

Club Acorn is organizing a pub crawl to raise money for children´s center in La Boca (Friday 27th at 10pm). You pay only 60 pesos and you get empanadas, pizza, and alcohol (all you can eat/drink) for an hour, and then the guys from acorn will take you to 3 different bars (where you´ll get discounted drinks) and you´ll finish the night in a club.  

If you are interested please contact Club Acorn:
