kim calvertAll I want for Christmas is…

When I was a kid, there was always that one gift I simply had to have in order to be happy ― maybe a pair of roller skates, a Barbie Playhouse or a Chatty Cathy doll (to really date myself!).  Whatever it might be, it was usually a toy I’d seen advertised on TV or something already in the possession of the oldest and coolest kid on the block.

Join "I Heart Biking" Group Leader "CyclingMovieGirl” for a terrific bike ride the morning of Christmas Eve. This 25-mile ride will take place in beautiful Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks, Hidden Valley. It is a slow paced, beginner ride led by an amazing coach named RaeLynn Milley (www.womencyclist.com). After we return, Bicycle John's will host a breakfast at the shop. Helmets are mandatory since we will be riding on the roads. Please note everyone that it can be VERY chilly in the mornings so everyone should dress WARMLY in lots of layers.

Tantalizing Tango
Sunday, Jan. 24, 2010
from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Host: SingularCity, Oxygen Tango, Whole Foods
Come out and join us as we spend the afternoon in Buenos Aires eating hot empanadas, nibbling on fresh fruits and veggies, sipping Argentinean wine, savoring delicious sweet coffee, and seeing some amazing tango demonstrations as well as have a blast trying out some steps ourselves courtesy of the instructors from Oxygen Tango.

Well that sounds intriguing to us! And even if we're not REALLY in Buenos Aires, we'll feel like we're there as the Argentinean food, drinks and dancing carries us away to the land where Tango was invented.

Tickets are just $25 in advance, $30 at the door and includes food, drinks, Tango demonstrations and Tango lessons.

To buy your ticket e-mail val@singularcity.com.

Space is limited! Don't miss this one!!
