Hi Jerry:

The event is by the Cape May Traditional Jazz Society. Their URL, home  
page, is:

http://www.capemaytraditionaljazzsociety.com/

Their event page is:

http://www.capemaytraditionaljazzsociety.com/2.html

The official name of the event is: "Bourbon Street Comes To Beach  
Avenue - September Mardi Gras in Cape May." Full details are not on  
their site yet (only the date) but will be posted shortly. I was  
giving as much advance notice as possible so that we would inform our  
swing dancer fans. They plan up to a year in advance.

BTW, my original note never said there were no OKOM Festivals in the   
Northeast. It said only:

>> Perhaps the closest thing to an OKOM jazz festival is coming to  
>> CapeMay New Jersey this coming September 17. (Friday)

I figure that's a pretty innocuous statement of fact.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
