We had SO much fun the first time around in Buffalo, that some of us decided to do the Indianapolis show on Saturday, August 15th! For those of you who couldn't make it the last time, or thought it would be just a boring symphony, now is your chance to hear Queen songs in full glory with a ROCK flair! There's a great lead singer (Brody D.) and the guitarist was in the Vegas production of WWRY!!
If you want to join the party, we have a table reserved for the Saturday evening show. Tickets are $60, which includes a picnic-style dinner at the outdoor ampitheater starting at 6PM. This is ONLY available here!! Please note, you can bring alcohol and coolers (just no fireworks or bar-b-ques). Lawn tickets are also available (through the site http://www.themusicofledzeppelin.com/ )
To purchase a seat at the table, you can use paypal. Click on send money and send $60 per person to nanlawniczak@msn.com - and make sure to give your full name, address, and phone number! If you can't access paypal, then email the same place for other options.
Discount hotel info "coming soon"!

MAJOR CHANGE!!!
The Saturday and Sunday parties are now scrapped, due to circumstances beyond control. Refunds will be given to those who have registered already.
BUT we will still get together in June! Tickets for the BPO and WWRY are still available. And there will be an auction at the hall, and a radio station party from 6-8PM!!! Quite possibly another little surprise, too. And we'll still meet during the day, have an early dinner together, etc.
Sorry for any inconveinence,
Nan

The 411 on A NIGHT AT THE ORCHESTRA & A DAY AT THE THEATER
The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (http://www.bpo.org/) is doing an all-Queen concert on JUNE 6, 2009. Since there isn't an Official North American Queen Convention this year
(http://www.queenbreakthru.com/) it's a great opportunity to get together and party in ROYAL style! The weekend of June 5-7 will encompass 2 HOTELS, 2 SHOWS, at 2 VENUES in 2 COUNTRIES - and at least 2 PARTIES with Queen music and videos, games and contests wih prizes (donated, in part, by Hollywood Records) and more!! We've obtained special group discount rates for hotels and venues. So if this all sounds good to you, read on. (Of course you don't have to attend all the activities throughout the weekend - you'll be free to pick and choose.)
Here's the line-up so far:
Thursday night pre-party at the Buffalo Doubletree for those arriving early.
FRIDAY (6/5) - free time to sightsee during the day, and a possible dinner/ party at the Hard Rock (or elsewhere) near Niagara Falls, USA and FREE fireworks over the falls (at 10PM, weather permitting).
SATURDAY (6/6) - registration begins at 7:30 AM outside the meeting room.
8AM - 3PM, videos, games, and more!
3:00 - 4:00 break to get dressed in your Black and White "Opera attire" (jeans and T's, are okay, but please keep to the B&W theme , even if you won't be joining us at the symphony)
4:00 - 6"ish" Black and White Banquet Buffet
Dinner (Beef Rock and Roulade, Gimme Gimme Baked Chicken Asiago, All Fredo-Alfredo, Lettuce Entertain You Salad, Modern Times Rock and Rolls, and more...), then leave for the performance. A small, free shuttle, is available from the hotel. Those staying behind are on their own, but the shuttle can take you within 5 miles (but not to the Falls, which are illuminated nightly). Please note, neither hotel has a pool.
Just in- there will be a charity auction to be held at the BPO hall, sometime between 6-8PM. The proceeds will be equally divided between The Mercury Phoenix Trust and The FoodBank of Western New York (www.foodbankwny.org).

Car pool sign-up sheets will be available, and public transportation option are being explored. The request for a meet and greet with the cast has been made, and will probably happen if enough people attend! Afterwards, if enough people want, we will have dinner as a group in Toronto (at The Hard Rock, Fran's diner, or The Elephant and Castle, most likely). Then we'll take the party over to the Bloor Yorkville Marriott for the night, and enjoy their fabulous breakfast on Monday morning before parting.
