The 25th ANNIVERSARY OF CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE was celebrated at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 - http://www.metropolitanroom.com/ ) on Tuesday, July 7th at 7:00 pm - the event also marked the 76th Birthday of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE founder, publisher and editor Stu Hamstra. The actual date of the founding and birthdate was July 6th.

CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE RELOCATION INFLRMATION
===============
Another big, big thank you goes out to more folks who sent in memberships, ordered banners or made sponsorship donations in the past few weeks - every penny was important. I need to accumulate enough funds for one month's rent and one month's security on a new room in order to move. Last week we wer about $600 short - and thanks to several membership renewals, generous gifts, the proceeds of the anniversary show, and some banner sales we reached our goal.

Unfortunately, I had to vacate the room on July 15th - and am currently temporarily housed in a hotel in Flushing, Queens - near LaGuardia Airport. Thanks to a special designated gift, I was able to stay here 3 nights - with some extra for taxi and other costs. To stay the weekend I need to raise another $225 - or use some of the funds set aside for a new room in the NYC area in August.

I DO NOT - AT THIS TIME - HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE

So in the meantime, my sister in Miami, Florida has invited me to move to her home (her family has grown up so she has a room available) and I will keep CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE operating for the month of July from there, via the internet - actual moving date to be determined. In any case I would need a very temporary place for a few days more where I can pack up my computer & equipment for air travel rid myself or most of my clothing to cut down on baggage. And a place to store other personal items until I return in August.

As always, I prefer to give some kind of value in return for any funds you might send me. Here's some ways everyone can help - with some deals to help you decide:

NYC: PEACHES AND CRIME IN "THE MAN WHO DIED!"
---------------
54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) presents Peaches And Crime in "The Man Who Died!" on Saturday, August 1st at 9:30 pm. Inspired by the Golden Age of Radio, vaudeville sensation Peaches and Crime makes the audience part of the action in this raucous adventure! From the front doors of a Manhattan skyscraper to the treacherous Island of Skulls, anything is possible in this live drama where your choices determine if whoever done it can be brought to justice! Can you outwit a murderer over dinner? Come and discover the answer in a night of cabaret music and madcap disaster! The modern audience hungers for spectacle, and a group has at last stepped forward to sate that hunger. In an age where bands are a dime a dozen and musicians three-a-penny, Peaches And Crime stands at the forefront of a vaudeville renaissance. Original music by husband-and-wife songwriting duo Angela and Daniel Schwartz intermingled with comedic and dramatic performance turn an evening out into a showcase of love, wit and murder. On stage, this act never passes up an opportunity for dramatic flourish, comic antics, or sophisticated charm. From murder ballads to drinking songs, no style is unfamiliar to these eclectic entertainers. Colorful costumes, diverse instruments and flashy dances make any Peaches And Crime show well worth the cost of admission. Each individual's talents - be it mind-reading or pugilism - are shown to their finest, and together they wow even the most jaded dance-hall connoisseur. Such a group could easily rest on its laurels, but as they debut this new murder mystery it's easy to see that in this case the best is yet to come. There is a $25-$65 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
