Wednesdays in San Jose:
> Dance practice starts about 7:00pm. We normally wear street
> clothes, rather than garb, for practice. Clean, soft-soled
> shoes or socks are required. We normally break around 9pm
> for dinner and rootbeer floats. Feel free to forward this
> message to people who ask about dance practice.
> Here's the directions that assume you are coming from the
> north for 1st, 3rd, 5th Wednesdays:
> Take your favorite route to 85, just south of 87
> (Guadalupe). Take the Blossom hill exit, stay in the left
> lane.  Turn left at the bottom of the exit ramp. Stay
> in the left lane. Turn left at the second light, Snell, just
> past the Shell gas  station.  Go for many blocks,
> turn right on Branham, just before the 76 
> station. Turn left at the first light, Park Arcadia. Go
> straight until Park Arcadia dead-ends into Park Paxton, turn
> left.  Turn right on Park Essex (I think it's the third
> right).  Rafael and Elspeth's is the third house is on
> the right. Parking is getting a bit tight, you may have to
> park on Paxton and walk a block. 
> 76 Park Essex Pl. San Jose CA 
> Directions from Yahoo!Maps are generally reliable, although
> from the north it will take you on the 101/Guadalupe/Capitol
> route. 
 
see you there,
