Charlie Brown, Garfield, and Pee Wee’s Playhouse all had something great which has gone out of style, the Halloween special!!! The Syrens of the South want to bring back that tradition with their very own Halloween Spook-tacular!

SUNDAY:
Due to crazy circumstances Mista' Hep Cat will be teaching his Vaudeville class THIS SUNDAY!!! WE hope you all can make it out!
“Hepcat’s Vaudeville: The Nickel Tour” with Hepcat Mike
Take the scenic route through vaudeville as Hepcat Mike (the illegitimate lovechild of Henny Youngman and Phyllis Diller) begins with early 19th century variety shows and continues the tour through polite early vaudeville, down dangerous back alleys of Burlesque, into the cinema which was both classical Vaudeville’s savior and doom. But fear not, the current neo-burlesque and vaudeville revival proves that everything old is new again. Want more? Hepcat gives the shortcuts to building your vaudeville library, with suggestions on texts for further reading and info on where to find the most jam-packed video archives for this important, ever-growing art form.
Disclaimer: Classes in the ABC's & 123's Class Series are $20 each or
$60 for a four class pass, a savings of $20. The classes do have a

Description
THE SILVER SCREAM SPOOK SHOW is a 30 minute live stage show filled with magic tricks, dancing girls, jokes, spectacle and frights! We follow it with a classic horror movie on actual 35mm film!
KIDS UNDER 12 FREE AT 1:00 MATINEE! EVERYONE ELSE ONLY $8. ALL TICKETS ARE $12 FOR THE 10:00 SHOW!
The second major addition to Toho Studios' giant-monster series after Gojira (aka Godzilla, 1954), was Rodan (or Radon), a giant pterodactyl whose wings create massive, destructive winds as it flies by. There are actually two of them in this film, mates who finally get together (after the traditional destruction of various Japanese cities) and die in an oddly touching lovers' death-swoon into an active volcano. The film's best sequence is the chilling opening, in which Rodan's egg is discovered in a cave by doomed miners. The first color film in the series, Ishiro Honda's effective thriller features some interesting special-effects work by Eiji Tsuburaya and was dubbed into English by actors including Keye Luke and future Star Trek crewman George Takei. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Hey everyone! So the Atlanta Burlesque and Cabaret "meetup" group is officially down for good!
Now, we have a facebook to supplement our escapades and announcements! There is still the old google group up for a while if for nothing else than to give an alternative to those who do not like face book (yes... they exist) and so that I have an easy forum to write out the weekly interest stories, but I think facebook is going to be my go-to for most of the instant messaging and bulletins for the in-between incidentals that happens. Its more user friendly and more importantly, Burlesque friendly ;) So check it out! I am currently having a logo made for the group because pictures just don't seem to cut it.
FACEBOOK
Last club meeting we discussed the following:
-Page did a wonderful costuming presentation. If you are interested in doing a presentation at the meeting please let me know. It only has to be 15-30 minutes long and it can run the gambit of all things theatrical as long as you tie it in with Burlesque, cabaret and/or vaudeville.
-Syrens of the South announced their impending trunk sale and current fabric sale! If you are interested in participating in the trunk sale which will be happening some point in September, or, if you are interested in some really great fabric priced at $2 per yard, or $1 per yard if Renea Le Roux makes you something from it, please contact Syrensofthesouth@gmail.com
- The decision to actually let the meetup fold, and create a Burlesque and Cabaret facebook group was made. The only difference is, you will want to be sure to keep up with the calendar on the Atlanta Burlesque Group here! You can keep up with the calendar, check out all of Atlanta's local talent and see reviews done on past shows.
- Syrens of the South Anniversary tickets and passes to Trixie Little and the Evil Hate Monkey's workshops are now available, and selling already! Have you heard about the lineup of the show? Not only do they have some of the most fabulous Burlesque stars in all of Atlanta, but they also have the incredible performers from Awalim performing and a few other surprises... cause the Syrens LOVE to surprise their audience! Not to mention those workshops provided by the bawdy Baltimor-ian bunch! I can tell you now that the Trixie Little and Evil Hate Monkey workshops have a limited capacity, so if you want to get in there, get on it! Go to www.syrensofthesouth.com
