*  brings GLBT-friendly businesses and consumers together

*  unites and empowers the GLBT residents of Northwest Houston.
 Greetings!

Ticket sales have been slow for our Sing-Along Show Tunes Brunch, and we're not sure why.  Is it that:

y'all wait til the last minute to buy tickets for everything, or

*  there is too much competition for your entertainment $$, or

*  this event just doesn't resonate with our members?


rescueRegardless, we have to make a decision soon, since we'd rather cancel the event than have a failure.  But before we pull the plug, we're giving you a chance to Save The Brunch.  We have until this Friday night, February 5th, to sell at least 30 tickets.  If we meet that goal, then the Brunch is ON and we'll continue ticket sales up until the event.

If we fail to sell 30 tix by Friday, then we'll cancel the event and make arrangements for refunds for all of you who did purchase tickets.

Sooooo, it's all up to YOU. 
If the Brunch
sounds like fun, 
then don't let it die. 
Buy your tickets today!


Our unofficial mantra at NWC is that we are going to try things  - realizing full well that some will work, and some won't.  Several of us know from prior experience that the sing-along brunch concept is a total hoot, but if it just doesn't float our Organizational Boat, then we'll move onto to other new and wacky ideas!

The NWC Sing-Along Show Tunes Brunch:
"From Broadway With Love"
Sunday, February 14th, Noon to 3 pm
at Ovations Cabaret


teddy bear with heartJoin your Northwest Corner Family for a Love-ly Sunday Valentine's Brunch at the legendary Ovations Club in Rice Village.   Northwest Corner and their guests will enjoy a sumptuous Sunday Mimosa Brunch and many of Broadway's most memorable Love Songs....hosted by the "torchy" Marcia Mink.  


This musical Valentine Brunch features audience sing-alongs to your favorite Broadway tunes (don't worry - we'll provide the lyrics!), and the duo of Judy and Alex will perform a couple of twisted romance numbers. 


Oh sure, this is a Valentine's Day thingie, but we don't want you singles to feel left out.  Like all NWC events, our crowd will be a great mix of singles and couples, and all will feel welcome.  We're planning something fun involving name tags and stickers to help everyone mix and mingle!


Doors open at noon.  Brunch is served at 12:15 PM, and the show begins at 1:00 PM.  We'll leave plenty of time after the show for socializing, once everyone is sufficiently "cocktailed"! 


Your ticket provides a wonderful Sunday Brunch Buffet and 2 beverage tickets for mimosas, etc.  A cash bar is also available for other libations during the event.The informal seating if limited to a maximum of 80 guests.


Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. 



Ovations, long been known as the capital of the Houston Cabaret scene, is located at 2536 Times Boulevard (a few blocks northwest of Kirby and University.
 
Well, that's all for this special edition of Northwest Corner News. 

Please remember that if you want to help Save The Brunch, you need to buy your tickets by this Friday!

Sincerely,

 
The Northwest Corner Steering Committee
