GET THAT HOLIDAY/NEW YEAR'S SHOW PRESS RELEASE IN

A press release will be sent to all the cabaret press e-mail addresses we have on file, urging these writers to mention the dozens of special HOLIDAY CABARET EVENTS that are going on this month all over the USA, UK and AUSTRALIA. The letter will include a link to both our HOLIDAY page and our NEW YEAR'S EVE page on the website - and it will go out on Tuesday, the 9th of December.

If you have a holiday or New Year's Eve event and you have not yet sent in your press release (REMEMBER: A FLIER IS NOT A PRESS RELEASE) please do so this weekend (via e-mail). And if you have the e-mail address of a web or print cabaret writer/editor, please send it in.

The Monday issue of the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE newsletter will include all the HOLIDAY event listings left in my event bin (only 4 remain) as well as all the NEW YEAR'S EVE events (I have received only 6) so please don't delay.

A follow-up e-mail will be sent to the same list of writers and editors after Christmas with special New Year's wishes to the writers, another link to our New Year's Eve page and a preview of our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH activities.
