CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE #031004 - Monday, October 13, 2003
Since 1990 Your First, Best, and Only Complete Source of Cabaret News
If it's anything
to do with cabaret, you'll probably read it here first!
This is a
MONDAY Issue of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE which includes cabaret listings
for around the world, and also includes information on all the banner
ads running on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website. The MID-WEEK issue,
usually sent on Thursdays, will concentrate more on news, breaking
stories and notes and mini-reviews of shows seen, plus shows offering
discounts to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.
It indeed
has been another busy week - with lots of shows taking advantage of
the possible cabaret visitors from out of town for next week's Cabaret
Convention, and lots of out-of-town performers doing shows in connection
with a convention appearance. I've been averaging two shows a night
the past several days, and will be seeing two more tonight. I'm hoping
to get at least one night off this week - I've been out every night
since last Monday.
Interestingly,
there have been a number of top rated shows in the past week which
went "audience hungry" and even the famous Algonquin has been "papering
the house" for newcomer Jamie Cullum via "Audience Extras." Hopefully
things will improve this week. Latest reports are that tourists and
business travellers have been returning to NYC - hotel occupancy rates
are once again approaching 90%. This is good for the entertainment
industry because out-of-towners need a place to go in the evening,
and cabaret offers a less expensive option than many other entertainment
offerings.
Support live
entertainment by attending a cabaret show this week - wherever you
live or work. Cabaret is not a business, it is an art form, and folks
performing in cabaret are supported more by your presence than by
your cover charge. There is no greater thrill for a performer than
playing to a full house.
FORGOT AGAIN?
Several folks
have written that they would be sending in their 2003-2004 membership
donation soon, so this is just a reminder. I have been counting on
your help in making CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE possible. Hopefully you
can keep your promise this week.
I'M LOOKING FOR WRITERS
TO COVER THE CABARET CONVENTION
I am just
a bit tired of hassling the MABEL MERCER FOUNDATION folks for tickets
to the Cabaret Convention - I have to pay for my tickets when I attend
when they do their "bus & truck" versions out of town, and have to
settle for "leftovers" when they have the show in NYC - often not
knowing which shows I will see until a day or two before the event.
So, this year, instead of personally covering the convention, I am
looking for folks who already have tickets to write a brief, four
or five paragraph, article about each night. I will refund part of
your ticket cost ($25) via PayPal for each article you write. I prefer
writers who are non-performers, with some writing experience, and
a love for cabaret that includes the ability to present honest evaluations
of performances. No pseudonyms. I have two volunteers already, and
hoping for a few more. Please write to me by e-mail if you wish to
cover one or more shows for me. Hopefully we can cover all 7 shows
this year.
Meantime,
I will avoid the chore of seeing seven shows of mostly the same old
performers, many of whom have not been seen - as performers - in a
cabaret room in years (if ever). Instead, I plan to attend the shows
in the cabarets that those who are attending the convention will miss
- plus a few cabaret shows presented that week by folks in town to
perform at the convention. I am making my list now in case any wish
to join me.
MESSAGE BOARD HAS SOME
NEW RULES
Nearly every
day for the past week or so I have received automated warnings from
my internet service provider that the message board file is about
to "overflow." So every day - instead of once weekly - I have had
to delete messages at the bottom of the board to make room for new
messages at the top. So, at least for the time being, several new
rules have been placed in effect to help avoid the overflow problem.
Please read the new rules I have posted on the website - and if you
have not done so lately, read all the rules governing posting on this
message board. I welcome your comments by regular e-mail.
Remember,
anyone, anywhere, can post information about their shows, CDs or other
cabaret-related event on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE Message Board.
You can also post requests and questions about cabaret performance,
and share your thoughts and ideas of cabaret. You don't have to be
a member of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE, you don't have to fill out a form,
you don't need one of those dreaded easy-to-forget passwords. All
you need to do is follow the rules - clearly posted on the board.
I will remove your message if I deem it inappropriate. Fully 70% of
visitors to the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website (http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/)
visit the MESSAGE BOARD.
In this connection,
a number of folks have hesitated to post on the board since the form
used for posting a message requires your e-mail address in order to
load your message. In the past, folks have copied these e-mail addresses
from the board and used them to form their own cabaret e-mail list,
sending unsolicited messages to the addressees. To overcome this problem,
you are invited to use the e-mail address "nospam@nospam" in that
line of the form. Of course, if your message asks for a personal off-board
reply, you should use your actual e-mail address.

I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
MORE NEWS
I get plenty
of show listings sent me - far more than I can possibly use - it is
really difficult trying to choose which ones to run, which ones to
set aside. Sometimes the item itself makes this choice - incomplete
information or just a scan of a flier, neither of which is useful
to me. I would love to have more items from outside NYC, especially
NEWS items - new venues opening, benefits, CD Releases, celebrations,
new pianos, etc. Add a website link if available. I have news ready
to print about two new cabaret venues - already in operation - but
one contains no reservation phone number or cover information, and
the other did not include the exact street address.

OCTOBER BANNER SLOTS SOLD
OUT - NOVEMBER SLOTS SELLING FAST
BANNER AD
spaces on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website are sold out for the
rest of October. Keep in mind, I limit the ads to 20 banners per week,
so if you plan to order a banner, reserve your banner space as far
in advance as possible. A lot of folks want to start advertising their
CDs for holiday sales in November, so don't delay getting your order
in.
Banner ads
are displayed at random in two places on nearly all 2,500+ pages.
This means your ad could be seen as many as 3,000 times each day,
21,000 times each week! You can run a banner for 2 weeks on CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE for just $80 - in full color - with a "live link" to

TIME TO CLOSE & SEND
That's about
all for today. After my nap I am heading into town for a "double-header"
at MAMA ROSE'S (219 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-533-0558 - http://www.mamaroses.net/):
Steven Ray Watkins (and friends) at 7:00 pm an the incomparably wild
Kristine Zbornik at 9:30 pm.
I want to
urge as many folks as possible to join me on Tuesday night at 7:00
pm at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438
- http://www.theduplex.com/)
to catch the amazingly talented Boston cabaret icon Ida Zecco in her
NYC cabaret debut and her show "ESTRO-GIN & TONIC" with Boston's Jim
Rice at the piano. I saw this show in Provincetown in May - and I
know you will enjoy it. You can double your fun by returning to the
same room at 9:00 pm to catch Richard Skipper's award-winning show
"An Evening With Carol Channing."
I hope to
take Wednesday night off - my first night off since October 6th. But
who knows - I might find another exciting cabaret event to attend
that night.
Thanks once
more to all the folks who sent in their membership donations these
past weeks. We are now listing nearly 325 members, more than three-quarters
the way towards out goal of 400 members for 2003-2004. Of course it
would be great if we could reach an even higher number, but we have
many more months to go before the next membership year.
And that
is just about the way it was.
