Thursday, July, 16, 2009:

I know this was yesterday. However, this was a pre, pre-kick off last night so I want to say thanks to Tim Laughlin (and Larry) at The Sazerac and Johnaye Kendrick (with David & Geoff) at Irvin’s Jazz Playhouse for providing lovely tunes to listen and dance to.

They play every week at these great locations (and no cover).

Friday, July 17, 2009:

We’re kicking up our heels with Jeremy Davenport tonight at The Ritz-Carlton from 9 – 1 am. Get ready to dance (and Swing) and hopefully sing along to the great tunes. Jeremy puts out a great show every week.

No cover, Valet Parking is FREE (get validated in bar & be sure to tip).

Maybe Jeremy will be so kind to play a few Latin tunes so my Salsa friends can get a dance in too . . . hint, hint (although I do have to get my Swing Dance on ;D).

(Hey Tim L. Maybe you and Juliet can come over after your gig @ The Sazerac? Would love to see you).

From CLT:

I hope you can attend the workshop and/or performance on Saturday night. I will be performing later in the night at the After-Party as well. My phenomenal dance partner, Ted George, and I will be doing a Salsa Dance Tribute to Michael Jackson. It’s going to be AWESOME (that’s because Teddy is such a great dancer!!

I’ve heard there will also be a Salsera Birthday Dance Circle & Birthday Celebration for me after all of the performances. I’ve only seen the Dance Circle live twice (once in DC and once in FabuNOLA) and LOVE THIS!!!

I’m so excited and know this will be great fun!! Whether you Salsa or not, watching will be amazing . . . this I know for sure. Peace, Cherylyn

2. WORNAGAIN nola3 Fashion Show & Crazy Event @ The Howlin’ Wolf

I was torn on this. I was asked to dance in the Salsa Performance then asked to model for the WornAgain Fashion Show (Thanks Carolina ~ I’ll be in her upcoming show on August 26^th). Because it would be cutting it too close, I had to opt out of appearing in the Fashion Show.

However, I’m still attending the Patron Party and the first portion of the Fashion Show for Media (and personal) purposes. I hope you will do the same (then come over to see my Salsa performance ;D).

WORN AGAIN nola3 (a benefit for Recycle For The Arts) promises to be the socially conscious event of the season. Forty WORN AGAIN designers will be chosen by our elite jury to rock the WORN AGAIN runway with amazing creativity based on recycled and thrifted cast-offs.

The festivities will begin with an exclusive Patron Party and Silent Auction followed by the wildly entertaining WORN AGAIN fashion show (live music provided by DJ Kristen). For full details, find WornAgain on Facebook or click here:http://thegreenproject.typepad.com/thegreenproject/2009/06/worn-again-nola3-fashion-show-crazy-event.html.

4. My Actual Birthday Dinner Celebration (with dancing, of course):

Sophisticated “Salsa” Sundays @ Galvez Restaurant starting at 6 pm (Free Salsa Class) with Salsa Social Dancing until 10 pm. This is a new location where NOSD is kicking off a new Salsa Night every Sunday starting this weekend. New Spanish Restaurant in a familiar and beautiful location (formerly Bella Luna)

Once again, whether you dance or not, feel free to come out and celebrate with me (and everyone) to the fullest. The FREE Salsa Class will help any of you wanting to learn the basics. I’ll be there by 7:30 for dinner and to dance.

If you are a friend of mine who is a FabuMusician and would like to bring your instrument & gather some other FabuMusician Friends to have a Latin Music Jam session, please let me know or contact Mike Griffin (mike@salsaneworleans.com). DJ Mike G will be playing Salsa, Merengue & Bachata tunes as well.

I’ve been hearing great things about the food at this wonderful venue that serves Continental Spanish Cuisine & Tapas. Yum!!! Named after General Galvez, the only Spanish Governor in the State of Louisiana. As you know from many of you who frequented this location with the prior restaurant, it’s one of the greatest views in town. I’m so pleased it has found new life with new owners.

I’m so thankful to Mike Griffin ~ NOSD (www.SalsaNewOrleans.com) for coming up with a new Salsa Social on Sundays starting on my very Birthday (and I was wondering what I was going to come up with to celebrate this year ;D). Galvez Restaurant is located at 914 N. Peters, NOLA 70116 (cross & location is actually on Decatur). Their website is www.galvezrestaurant.com. Please check out their great menu. Contact them if you have any questions.

5.  If there’s any kick left in any of us, I might scoot a few blocks down before the end of the night to listen (and hopefully dance as well) to Gal Holiday & her Vintage Honky Tonk Revue at Balcony Music Club (Free every Sunday from 9 pm – 12 am) @ corner of Decatur & Esplanade.

If you are a friend of mine who is a FabuPhotographer (professional or otherwise), please bring your camera out to any of these events because I would love photos (and you will get beautiful shots for your portfolio at any of these locations of all of the activities (especially of dancers).

If you are a friend of mine who is a FabuFilmmaker . . . okay, I think you get the picture. Hey Frenchy!!!!! You should come and paint LIVE at one of the events too (Degas, Swing, Salsa . . . it’s ALL Bueno!!).

In true Miss FabuNOLA Fashion, I’m going to start listing some other activities to continue the celebration on into the following week or just to plan your next week of FabuFun in advance. A full list will be presented soon.

Monday, July 20, 2009:

This is another great new Salsa Spot in town. You should definitely check out this beautiful venue too. If you haven’t been here yet, you don’t know what you’re missing.
