[Dixielandjazz] Venue Redux

[Steve barbone]

List mates-

The Ultimate Venue for Dixieland? Barbone Street plays from 7:30 to 3:00 AM.
Roughly one hour on, one hour off. DIXIELAND!!!!!

>From the very exclusive sponsor party ($250 to $2000 admission), to the all
night hoi polloi event ($75 admission).

Both the party (very sexy) and the gig money (long green) are positively
sinful. And why not? 3500 attendees paying between $75 and $2000 to be there
adds up to long green.

THIS is what N.O.JAZZ, DIXIELAND, OR WHATEVER YOU WISH TO CALL IT WAS MEANT
FOR. Search out the opportunities in your area. Promote your band.

Note the blurbs below from various news releases, society columns etc.
especially the last paragraph. As well as paragraph two where it says that
"Philadelphia's up and coming musicians will rock this sinful paradise". We
are those "emerging artists" of which they speak, and even get to play the
"Sponsor Party".  Hey, does that mean our roving band of 70 year old jazz
"artists" has finally been discovered, or are we just a bunch of commercial
slobs playing for the jazz oblivious? :-) VBG.

If you are anywhere near Philadelphia on October 30, come to this Halloween
Party. It is well worth the $75.00. Dress Code: Costume, or Tux/Gown, except
the band which was told to come as we please. Hmmmmmm.

Cheers & Carpe Diem,
Steve Barbone


The Beaux Arts Ball - Lights! Camera! Action!

Every year Philadelphia's Foundation for Architecture selects an
"architecturally significant space" in which to give a party. Or rather, the
party of the year--the Beaux Arts Ball--the city's "grandest and most
outrageous costume gala, the largest party of its kind in the country,"
attracting over 3,500 revelers. In recent years the Foundation has saluted
the Convention Center, The Court at King of Prussia, the Philadelphia Navy
Yard and, the Apollo at Temple.' This year the party is at Philadelphia's
New Constitution Center.
