CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE #050405 - Monday, April 18,
2005
Since 1990 Your First, Best, and Only Complete Source of Cabaret News
CELEBRATING OUR 15th YEAR COVERING CABARET ALL OVER
THE WORLD!
NOW - BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!
If it's anything to do with cabaret, you'll probably
read it here first!
This is a MONDAY NEWS Issue of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE and also includes
information on all the banner ads running on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
website plus listings for around the world, including shows at over
100 venues and covering over 300 performances (with a number offering
discounts to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE). The MID-WEEK issue,
normally sent on Thursdays, will include more news, breaking stories
and notes, cabaret tips, review summaries, plus listings of shows offering
discounts to members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.
ATTENTION AOL USERS: Over 400 newsletters sent out to AOL subscribers
have been bouncing back each issue - with no resolution coming from
AOL in spite of promises. All copies of past issues are archived on
the website.
I have a busy day today - actually a very busy week coming up as I complete
packing and start moving to my new apartment. So, this issue was prepared
on Sunday and is being sent out early on Monday morning. More details
in the MIDWEEK issue on Thursday.
CABARET HOTLINE SPRING BENEFIT UPDATE
This special benefit is being held to cover the anticipated expenses
coming up for me in the next few weeks. Medicare will not cover all
the costs of my recent knee operation (there are deductibles, co-pays,
non-covered procedures, travel expenses, etc., to worry about). Plus,
with my roommate moving out unexpectedly on the 31st of March, I have
had to find a new living space, which will mean moving expenses, advance
rent & security deposit and other possible unexpected charges.
This is a benefit that you don't need to make a reservation
for, don't need to brave the elements, or hire a baby sitter or pay
a huge fee to park your car in order to attend. There is no 2-drink
minimum, and folks anywhere in the world can take part. Just go to
my website and click on the SPRING BENEFIT DRIVE link at the top of
the right column. You can donate any amount - $10, $50, $100, whatever
you can afford. I will be posting a running total of receipts and
all donors will be listed (unless they decline) on a special 'ANGELS'
page on the website. So far over $1,500 has been received towards
our $2,500 estimated goal (new apartment requires rent plus security
deposit).
If you prefer not to use a credit card and PayPal,
you can send a check made out simply to Stu Hamstra and mail it to
CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE, 676A Ninth Avenue #120, NY, NY 10036.
2005-2006 MEMBERSHIPS NOW BEING ACCEPTED
If you wish instead to pre-renew your membership for the 2005-2006 membership
year (which starts on July 6, 2005) there is also a link on the BENEFIT
/ MEMBERSHIP DRIVE page to do just that. New 2005-2006 memberships will
not start until May 5th. You financial support will be most appreciated.
Please keep in mind that, except for a monthly social security check,
my only income is from banner ads, memberships and donations. SILVER
basic memberships are $20, and GOLD supporting memberships are $75.
Memberships are available for greater amounts as well. For information
on becoming a contributing member of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE, check at
http://svhamstra.com/Membership.shtml
or else just send me a note at membership@svhamstra.com
with the single word "membership" in the subject line, and I'll send
all the details. You can even make your donation by credit card, using
PayPal. If you prefer not to use a credit card and PayPal, you can send
a check made out simply to Stu Hamstra and mail it to CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE, 676A Ninth Avenue #120, NY, NY 10036.
REAL LIVE BENEFIT TO BE HELD IN JULY
By the way, I am planning a real, actual, benefit and membership drive
on July 6th (or thereabouts) this summer to celebrate the 15th birthday
of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - coinciding with my 66th birthday. Anyone
contributing to the SPRING benefit with a donation of $25 or more will
get a special discount on the summer benefit ticket - price & place
& cast to be determined.
