    Ian Urgo & Connie C. are excellent DJs.  I'm  really looking forward to it (plus, The Russian Lady with good beats?! -- practically unheard of ! ! ! ...perhaps the place with catch a virus of good taste after featuring this duo.  An establishment with this duo could get me in their doors EVERY week. Whoever got them on the bill really chose wisely!)

    Two things, one question, one statement, one for Emily and one for others.

    1.) Is that costume shop you featured on a thread for 1920's outfits sell men's wear? I'm in need of a fedora and possibly other male props or accessories.

    2.) I saw how many people signed up for this event. People are coming all over Connecticut for this event! Wow! This is going to be big! I can't wait to meet the people I've been meaning to see in person.

    But I know the nature of the beast.........*sighs*...........231 people say they are in but about 1/4th of them will drop out. Either way, I'm excited for this event!
