Finally! It's Jubilee, Jubilee, Jubilee time!!!!

Kids, 
Breathe.  I started this thought in January (probably started bugging you all in Feb), and just in the last few hours has it started coming full circle thanks to our special angels and all of your patience!
I'm truly sorry for the back and forth but again, all that matters is that it's finally happening!

Shannon & Arty (&Stephen?) have 24 tickets and all of you have been notified that you are on the list. Problem is, not all of you have responded!  If you do not respond by Thursday, Shannon & I have a waiting list and the next person on there will get your ticket.  Sorry to do that, but they are in high demand and we'd hate to have an empty seat.  Again, I know with all the flip flopping you may have said YES & NO several times, ugh!

TICKET LIST:  THURSDAY, JULY 28th, 7.30  !!PLEASE BRING $15 CASH/TICKET!!

**Belinda Schober has heard that Fluff & Diane would like to meet us afterwards, so please don't  run off!  It seems best if our spouses/guests wait in the casino if we go backstage, unless Randy can work it out for all of us. 

FRIDAY, JULY 29  4PM  FAMILY DAY/POT LUCK/CAST DAY OFF
Shannon & Alex have opened their new house to all of us, so please reciprocate and BYOB AND/OR A DISH.  A quote from Shannon & Alex: " Pot Luck, Grill available, BYOB. I have some booze. Need Soda & Mixers . Bring your kids & family & a swim suit! House Phone 702-633-6678. See you Friday!"

Address:
9348 Desert Heat Ave    (I LOVE that street name!)

Shannon's cell phone:  702-340-3851
Mine:  617-957-5788


SATURDAY, JULY 30th: 
I have nothing to do with the show tix or official after party,  but current cast memeber Stephen M., has told us that: "Some of us are going to Bootleggers after the show Saturday, around 11:30, we will swing by the corporate event 1st for a bit."  So, like most people, you can't get into the show on Saturday, you can meet up with the current cast at Bootleggers.  I'll be leaving on Saturday am, so I'll miss it.

SUNDAY, JULY 31st:
Start of the Siegfried & Roy reunion

In the days leading up to this, until today, I wasn't even sure I was going to be able to make it (my mom's been in the hospital and then what to do with Johan), so I'm just glad I'll get to see you all!

Even though it's been crazy back and forth, each and everyone of you that I've talked to have been positively supportive and grateful that SOMETHING is happening.  None of you have ever left my heart and so it's been worth every minute of it!

We owe Shannon, Alex, Arty & whoever those other singers were a drink--and it'll be Anthony's first day back at work, let's let him hear us rock the house!

Until we see each other, everyone travel to Vegas safely!  Take care everyone!

July: Jubilee! Reunion Tix Change PLZ TAKE POLL

Hi folks!
There's been a CHANGE in the ticket situation!  PLEASE read if you've ordered them via me:

I've tried, but we CANNOT get the $15 tickets (that's a long story and I don't want to go there, so I'll keep it short & simple).  Since we are a larger group (20+) we can't get the $15 discount. 

***We can MAYBE get tickets for $35, but we can't sit together, and we will be on the sides***

Honestly, I went with 10 of you last year and we had a great time and seeing the show was great. I can easily sit this one out.  I realize some of you haven't seen it for a while, and I think you should still go. 
The house manager will call me on Friday to see what he came up with. 

******PLEASE TAKE THE POLL ON THE SIDE OF THE BLOG, TO THE RIGHT, OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR TICKET SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE HIGHER PRICE******

Already, Angelia said she's not going to pay it and will gladly hold down the fort for those of you that go.  As I said, I saw it last year, I'm fine with just socializing as well.  I'm beyond sorry that this is becoming difficult (I'm hoping for a miracle or someone taking pity on us, helping us out & being so appreciative that we are making an effort to support the cause)
PLEASE COMPLETE POLL ON RIGHT, THANK YOU! 

July 2011: Reunion Count Down

Hey kids!

It would seem that I'm on a month to month blog schedule whether I/we like it or not.  I just can't seem to bring myself to write any BS or else there's too much to write.


Jubilee! Turns 30 Update: Alex Oteyza and Shannon M. Hardin have agreed to have the play date/day off get together at their new place (FRIDAY July 29th) Let's send out a big HURRAY to them!  I've not nailed down any details but I think it's only fair that we all bring one dish & drink if we attend.  We are still on the fence whether we bring Johan (our 3.75 year old) or not.  It would be nice to hear from all of you if you plan to bring your kids or not.  Not only for me, but mostly for our hosts, Alex & Shannon!  I will also send an event invite on FB, just so they know what to expect. 

I'm getting quite a list of folks who are wanting to go to the show and that's exciting!  Unfortunately, I can' t seem to get a hold of anyone at Bally's who will help me!  Paula (current principal) gave me the number of a person who can help us, so I hope that will work.  It used to be that Randy (backstage) could help us, but that's all changed (quelle surprise).  Importantly, I know we can still get our $15/alumni price, so that's the good news!

The first show is at 7.30pm, which means we need to meet at least by 7 to all get our tickets.  I'm suggesting  6 pm if we'd like to do a pre-show drink/happy hour.  I know that some people can't/won't make the show so this gives them a chance to have some time to see folks.  

MEETING PLACE in BALLY'S:  Kimberly, Angelia & I (& my hubby, Reinhard) will meet you all at the TEQUILA BAR & GRILL
TIME:   6pm

PLEASE have your $15 in CASH ready for either myself or whoever it is that's helping us!  

I'm guessing, we may have to go to the showroom earlier if we all want to sit together (so far, about 20 of us!).  I also want to do some photos outside the showroom, so try to be there on time!   

Here's the list of the July 28th 1st show goers:

Kimberly Shelton
Angelia (Maxwell) Zausch
Myself
Reinhard Beschel
Belinda Schober
Melissa Hansen
Dawn Draper
Carol Suarez
Jill Kello
Amber GeBauer
Teena Marshall
Eileen Ryans x 2
Shannon Fields
Lisa Gallion x 2
Rebecca LaBonne
Holly Dexter
Robin T.

PLEASE LET OTHERS KNOW!  ALL WELCOME!  

We will be in Canada from July 10-20th, but can be reached on my cell:  617 957 5788 and I will check my email daily.  

Reinhard & I will be staying at the DESERT ROSE RESORT,

5051 Duke Ellington Way, Las Vegas, NV 89119 (directly south of MGM Grand--I'd like to do a post show party in our room for all those who'd like to. If you can contribute a bottle of bubbly or vino or poison of choice, that would help tremendously!) 

See you all in Vegas!!!
