Hey, I'm commenting to ask you if you'd be interested (or could coordinate) in bringing a small group of square dancers and a caller (with music) to the American Visionary Art Museum for our gala reception on (I need to double-check, as I've got a wrong date in my book, but I'm 99% certain this is correct) Saturday, June 16th. The museum is doing a sort of country/farm/cake themed event (don't ask), with Duff from Ace of Cakes as a sort of host-y/VIP-type and doing the place up country. We've got a band, but it's a pretty mainstream band and the event would really benefit from a little more interesting demo.
At our gala meeting this morning, I suggested we could see if one of the local gay square dancing groups might be interested in sending a little contingent to do a short demo for the event, and everyone was really excited at the prospect. It's a fundraising gala and we're short on cash for a proper honoraria, but we'd give tickets to ten (maybe more if I can work it out) people to attend, do a demonstration, and enjoy the meal and free booze and schmoozing potential there. The street price for tickets is $250 a head, so it'd be a chance for a bunch of y'all to get in for (almost) free and have a good time and give us a good time, too.
Drop me a line if you think that might be a possibility. You can email me at joe@sonascope.com, or give me a buzz at 301-910-5191, though I'll be in WV for a lot of the weekend and out of cell range, alas. Would love to make it work if we can. Hope to talk to you soon, Joe.
