---------------
THE MARCH IS CABARET MONTH WEBSITE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN
---------------
Someone stole our web identity (our website URL) for MARCH IS CABARET MONTH and we tried to negotiate purchasing it back but I think their offer amounted to blackmail, so you can now find MARCH IS CABARET MONTH at the new web address: http://www.MarchIsCabaret.com/ . We hope you will help promote the art & artists of cabaret by adding the phrase MARCH IS CABARET MONTH to your website, and the link. Logos are available to add to your site as well on the website.
We have already begun adding MARCH IS CABARET MONTH events to the new website. Note that the site is divided into geographical areas, and also includes links to cabaret organizations - many of whom are holding MARCH IS CABARET MONTH events of their own.
Unfortunately, the website identity theft made our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH postcards, listing to old website address, worthless, so we have to order a new batch which we hope to be sending out soon.

IT AIN'T OVER 'TILL ITS OVER
A quick thank you once more to all the folks who made Tuesday's MARCH IS CABARET MONTH GALA such a success! Remember, it "ain't over till its over" so keep adding the tag MARCH IS CABARET MONTH to your e-mail signature and at the end of any postings on Twitter, MySpace, YouTube or Facebook and spread the word to all. Our GALA producer Tom Stajmiger mentioned at our show on Tuesday that when he started producing cabaret events in Wisconsin, most folks in the area only thought that cabaret was a movie that starred Liza Minnelli. There are a lot of folks out there - many of your friends, probably - who haven't a clue about this marvelous and exciting art form, and the tag line on your e-mail just might evoke some kind of discussion, and hopefully win another "convert" to join the friends of cabaret. There is another generation coming up that needs to be informed - its up to us to spread the word.

DO YOUR PART TO PROMOTE CABARET
Starting on Monday, February 2nd, I will be adding cabaret news items for events occurring in March to the MARCH IS CABARET MONTH website. I will include items on that website even before they appear on our own CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website. Please do your part for our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH promotion by simply adding the "tag" MARCH IS CABARET MONTH to any press releases and/or invitations you send out for shows in March and include the http://www.MarchIsCabaretMonth.com/ link if possible. And if you have a website, there are logos you can download at the MICM website and add with this link to your website - it would really be appreciated.
Remember, this effort is not a local NYC thing - and it isn't even a CABARET HOTLINE thing. It is an worldwide promotion to get folks thinking and talking about the art of cabaret. When they see the slogan their curiosity will be aroused and those search engines will get spinning! ALL of cabaret will benefit.

Its time for another MEMBERS' CHOICE POLL, and this time we are inviting all 2008-2009 members to nominate their choices for the best performances/performers during the past year - from December 1, 2007 through November 30th, 2008. This is an INTERNATIONAL poll - not limited to the USA - not limited to the NYC club scene. The only rules are that the performance/performer be nominated by a current member and the nominating member must have attended the show of the performer nominated. The performer nominated does not need to be a 2008-2009 member of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE (but, of course, that would be nice).
There are only 5 categories - Female & Male Vocalist, Female & Male Debut, and Musical and/or Comedy Duo or Group. These categories may be sub-divided if we receive a large number of nominees in a certain category (i.e. Female/Male Jazz, Female/Male Major, etc.)
There is a link to the Nominations Rules page on the home (index) page of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website, and nominations need to be entered on the nominations form to be admissible. Nominations will be accepted until midnight, December 31st - the balloting will take place in January - the winners announced in February. REMEMBER: You must be a member to nominate and vote in this poll.
The MALE & FEMALE DEBUT winners will be invited to perform at our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH show on March 10th at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATER.
ALL WINNERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE 2-WEEK RUN OF A SUPERSIZE BANNER ON THE CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE WEBSITE - banner must run before December 1, 2009.
More details on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website.
