IT'S 2:30 AM IN ADELAIDE AND THE REPORTS ARE IN

It is already Sunday morning in Adelaide as I write this (11:00 am NYC time on Saturday) so I already have a report from down-under cabaret star Sandi McMenamin about her Saturday night show. And half of all the the members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE who live in Adelaide made it to her show (Sandi herself - so she did not have to give anyone the discount she was offering). Here's a bit of what she wrote when she got home from the show:

".... it was great to have 2 pianos playing Gershwin’s I GOT RHYTHM.

"And a fine guitarist to play THE RAINBOW CONNECTION while I sang and then played too.
And another pianist, the guitarist, and another vocalist to back me in NO TIME AT ALL from PIPPIN.

"I did 3 encores and they were still stamping their feet on the floor. Amazing!"

Brava! The reviews will be out soon - and they made a DVD of the event which should go on sale soon.

Good night Sandi - sweet dreams!

THE SUSPENSE DEEPENS

Cabaret is happening around the world and I am truly anxious to find out the results of Sandi McMenamin's cabaret show in Adelaide on Saturday the 7th of February. She has an ad on the website. And I might even find out as early as Friday! You see, they start each day in Australia and then then pass the day off to succeeding countries as the earth rotates (or for traditionalists, as the sun rotates). As I post this on Monday around 5:30 pm it is already 9:00 am TUESDAY in Australia! (Yes, it appears that Australia breaks its country into 1/2 hour time zones). Sandie's offering a discount to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - we have just 2 members in Adelaide, and one of them is Sandi. The suspense is killing me - will the other member show up, and will he ask for the discount?
