We passed the 70 mark on 2010-2011 CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE memberships over the weekend, but we still have a long way to go in reaching our goal of 200 members by July 5th, when all 2009-2010 memberships expire. And still more than half the memberships recorded for 2010-2011 were carry-over free memberships for the folks who joined CABARET FOR SENIORS last year and were promised a 1-year extension of their memberships. This has put a little hold on plans for our 20th Anniversary Party in July. We'll still have some type of celebration but I don't want to reserve a venue until I get some type of indication as to where we will stand on member support. Amazingly, 15 of the 70 members are actually brand new members or folks who haven't been members in more than 2 years! Welcome aboard! You can check at the top of this issue for some of the details on membership or just click on the JOIN HERE button at the top of every page. 2010-2011 Membership cards are valid immediately and good through July 5th, 2011. New members get several extra weeks of membership no extra charge.
Once again (except for an item received just a few minutes ago) we have included in this issue all the cabaret news items for which releases have been received through May, and even to June 6th. Of course, we haven't received any schedules from the cabaret venues yet for June - they should be rolling in this week so there may be more items for the first week in June in Thursday's issue.
Every day we move all the shows from our CABARET LISTINGS for that date to the home (index) page of the website and then a few hours later we post our special picks of the day from that list to the blog , and at the same time we post a note on TWITTER on each pick with a link to the item on the blog. The Twitter feed also appears on the home page of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website if you want to see what other items we're promoting - we add to our Twitter feed items of cabaret interest we find on other Twitter feeds. If you join and follow us on Twitter, we'll pass along your cabaret-related news to our almost 300 followers as well.
I have a busy week planned - restricted only by my ability to afford same, with plans to catch Maureen Kelley Stewart's show at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN on Tuesday, and Tanya Moberly's show at DON'T TELL MAMA at 9:15 pm on Wednesday. On Thursday I plan to catch Barb Jungr at 7:30 pm at the METROPOLITAN ROOM, followed by a quick jog to THE DUPLEX for MargOH Channing's show at 9:30 pm. OK, I'm kidding about the jog. I can catch the F train at 23rd & Sixth and get to West 4th Street in minutes (its only 2 stops) and walk the block to THE DUPLEX. By Friday I'll probably be out of energy and/or cash so I'm not planning beyond Thursday right now.
