There are several news items in today's issue that aren't in the listings section - I hope you check them out. Included is an announcement of the first MELBOURNE (AUS) CABARET FESTIVAL scheduled for July. Yesterday, the ADELAIDE (AUS) CABARET FESTIVAL (June 11th through 26th - see http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/adelaidecabaret/ ) had it's official opening of ticket sales. David Campbell, who is the Artistic Director was on hand to announce the events - he's well known to US Cabaret & Broadway fans. He has once again tried to put together a program that inspires, excites and leaves the audience wanting more. From the students who are discovering and performing the joys of the art form of Cabaret for the first time in High School Cabaret, to the jaw dropping journey that is Smoke & Mirrors. Check out their website for complete information.

You can support CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE by supporting our advertisers! New ads have been hard to come by lately, but a few came in during the week that truly helped us get by until the Social Security check arrived. I was able to re-connect my cell phone (which was out for nearly a month) and restock my "larder" - and even get a haircut! Now, hopefully, I will have some funds to get out to some cabaret shows. And soon we will begin accepting 2010-2011 memberships - the membership program is our major fundraiser, and is climaxed by our annual CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE BIRTHDAY PARTY - this year a really big one: our 20th! Date & place are still to be decided - our official birth date is July 6th (it coincides with my own birthday, since our very first issue was sent out to about 40 folks by regular mail reporting on my birthday cabaret activities in 1990. We announced the new membership rates to our members last Friday in our MEMBERS ONLY issue, and to everyone in today's issue in Part II of HERE & THERE below.

We couldn't afford to go the the BISTRO AWARDS on Tuesday, the 13th at THE GOTHAM COMEDY CLUB, but word is that the event was sold out once again this year. Congratulations once again to all the award recipients. Be sure to "save the date"for the 24th Annual MAC Awards which will be held Tuesday, May 4th at 7:30 PM at BB KING'S BLUES CLUB (237 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-997-4144). Some details below, but tickets are already one sale. It sold out last year (over 600 seats sold) so if you plan to attend, I advise early purchase. MAC reports that they are almost sold out of the $75 Silver Circle Tickets and can no longer accept mail orders for this price level (a few tickets remain at this price level on the Brown Paper Tickets website). Tickets may be ordered online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/101011 .

A few issues back we announced that BACA (Boston Association of Cabaret Artists) and MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) would be holding a joint event in May. However, BACA President Eric Larivee reported today that they are postponing the BACA Goes to NYC Field Trip to the weekend of October 8th, 9th and 10th. This will coincide with the Mabel Mercer Cabaret Convention. This will give people more to time to save the necessary funds in order to take part in this unprecedented, invaluable BACA/MAC educational and recreational meet and greet opportunity.
