Renaissance Festival Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 10:08 AM To: jaredan@... Subject: Schedule of events
Hello everyone,
Here is an overview of the schedule of events for Dance
Renaissance. Keep in mind that all our parties have themes and so we
expect you to dress up accordingly and get into the New Orleans spirit.
If you are from out of town, note that most New Orleanians own a wide
range of costumes, you will understand why when you come here. So start
your own collection now or borrow something from someone and show your
creativity!
DEADLINES REMINDERS:
Hotel group rate is valid until November 30 only. Remember that
hotels are expensive in New Orleans for New Year's and they always sell
out because of Sugar Bowl. Hotel and housing info here
This year promises to be amazing! So, we can't wait to see you!
In the meantime, have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I WISH I was visiting again Thanksgiving weekend, but I won't be...must be patient, Elizabeth!
One of my college friends (who now swing dances) is going to be visiting Jackson, TN for Thanksgiving and wants to detour to Memphis if there's anything going on Friday night. Looks like the Blues Foundation rent party is Friday, are there many people going? Anything else going on Friday night? I don't know if she needs a place to crash or is heading back to Jackson that night.
Anyone who is dancing in Memphis or doing something else visitor-worthy, please let me know. House parties? Anything? Let me know. I miss you all!
