And on a positive note......

Our December 7th Double Take Impersonators Holiday Show has sold out! Yay!

It just goes to show you, that even in this horrible economy, people still want to have fun. And if fun can be had for a reasonable price, then it’s a win-win situation, in that we have fun putting on the show, and the audience gets a really good meal, and a really good show.

So let’s expand on this a little……see, a guy from the other side of town was in the restaurant the other night, he heard the singer, came into the lounge, told us he had a Big Band, and would like her to be a guest vocalist! AND….he wants us to bring our show to his side of town! Double cool! Ya just never know who you are going to run into at any given moment.

We’ve been busting our butts promoting this show. We’ve run all over town putting up flyers in any shop that would let us….we’ve posted them on community bulletin boards (remember, we’re working on a very limited budget) we’ve sent out emails, made phone calls, talked to everyone we can. But as they say, word of mouth is the best advertising. Take one woman, for example (my sister, to e specific) she came to the last show, and is bringing a group of 14 to this next show! We’ve got other folks coming back, who are also bringing more people they want to share this with.

We know there’s a lot of talent out there, so starting next year, we will be hosting an “Amateur night.” Sort of based on “America’s Got Talent.” The winner will be chosen by audience vote, and yes, there will be a prize. People think nothing of dropping $5.00 on a cup of coffee from Starbuck’s, or wherever…..so why not drop $5.00 to come and see the talent show and cast your vote.

On another note (and yes, a musical pun is intended) we will also be forming our own Big Band. For all you musicians out there in my area, looking for something to be a part of….contact me, let’s see what you’ve got. At the very least, you’ll have a really good time, doing what you love to do. Another win-win situation.
