You know we love you at ConCarolinas.  You are part of our family :)

Almost that time of the year again!
As always, I am front row for the knights!
This year, if you are lucky (and when you are done getting the knights latest CD
and making sure it is autographed), see if you can find me, I just finished the
artwork for the cover of the program guide book!
Make sure you buy the knights CDs first, and during the con you MUST sing along,
that's half the fun!

Despite not being able to present all the Boogie Knights for these concerts,
they went well and we had a blast!  We hope the audiences enjoyed themselves as
much as we did.

Friends,

If you haven't had the chance to see "Plaid Tidings" and you'd still like to,
please make your reservations as soon as possible. Low reservations have already
caused the theater to cancel the Friday evening and Sunday evening shows this
final week! That leaves only 4 shows left - tonight, tomorrow night (New Year's
Eve), Saturday night and Sunday Matinee!

New Year's Eve is a special event night, with Toby's signature buffet: "Plaid
Tidings" show, post-show dancing, champagne toast and breakfast buffet after
midnight!

  Call 1-800-888-6297 for ticket information and to make your reservations!

In the off chance that they may do a "Friends and Family" discount, please
mention my name when you make your reservation. Check out
www.tobysdinnertheatre.com and click on Toby's Dinner Theater, Columbia to see
photos from the show!

Karl Hille of The Baltimore Examiner wrote: "As Jinx, John Scheeler's
performance of "Besame Mucho/Kiss of Fire" is exceptional. Perfectly on pitch,
he sings with a passion that makes audience members sit up and listen. It's
perhaps the best solo performance of the entire show." To read the entire
review, go to:

Some of you have seen the show already, and I thank you for your support. Please
tell your friends and feel free to pass this e-mail along to anyone who might be
interested.

Thanks!

Boogie Knights Bad News:

Molly Bagnall, mother of the Lady Sarah of MacLachlan and long time Boogie
Knights fan, is gravely ill.  Mrs. Bagnall has always been a friendly, kind, and
enthusiastically supportive person often found with her husband in the front row
at Boogie Knights concerts leading the applause.  She has always been very
supportive of her children in all they do and they are devastated now to see her
so ill.  So are we.  Thoughts, prayers, sympathies, healing energies all
respectfully requested and gratefully accepted.

I am the keeper of the CDs and work near BWI.  Contact me off list and we can
arrange personal delivery.  (How's that for service?)

Karen,

Our CD, "Oh, The Horror" has a number of songs which would be ideal for your
husband's show. Unfortunately, they're not available on I-Tunes or anything
like that - only through us directly. We would have to figure out some way
to get you a copy by the 30th. It should be do-able. Where is the studio
where you record the show? Perhaps we could arrange for someone to drop a
copy by.

John

Hi everyone,

My husband does an internet radio show at 6pm every Thursday night on
Krushradio.com. In two weeks, on the 30th, we wanted to do a
Halloween-themed show. I especially want to play some good Halloween
parody music.

Which BK songs are halloween-ish? I started picking through the song
list on the site, but I don't know every song by title (yeah, I know.
Bad fan.)

And, more importantly, which ones can I get into my hands within two
weeks?

Thanks!
Karen

The Boogie Knights, in conjunction with the Musical Artists Theatre

and the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer (www.tommyfund.org)

Here are the details:
WHEN:     8PM Saturday 8 November, 2008

      Salem Lutheran Church

Where else can you find a full evening of Boogie Knights live performance
for less than the cost of a CD --and-- have it benefit charity as well?

Please plan on attending.  Please spread the word.  Hope to see you there!

Welcome back.

Yes someone hacked my account and probably attempted to spam people
with it. The joke is on them because I signed up for yahoo BEFORE they
forced yahoo mail on you, so I have no yahoo email account! Anyhoo I
managed to convince the jerks at Yahoo to give me back my account
after 2 failed bribes they finally took the goat sacrifice and gave me
my account back! So I am here if you need me!

Yay!

Back in April, one day after I got home from I-Con, my computer literally fried.
(The heat sink fell off of my CPU which promptly overheated.)  It took me a
while to replace the system and then I couldn't get an XP system on which I
could have just transferred all my software and continued uninterrupted.  (Curse
you, Microsoft!)  I got a Vista computer which I hated! (Double curse you,
Microsoft!) And I got a Macbook.

So, now I'm doing development on a Mac.  I had ALL of the web site files, but I
still had no way to access the web site and I was unable to contact the man who
owns the site.  He had moved from Florida to California, had changed his phone
number, and wasn't responding to any of my various attempts at email.  I was
going slightly crazy... okay, crazier.  And the site was going quickly stale.

Well, last night, I logged into yahoo trying to help a friend with a yahoo
groups problem and I noticed that our web host was on-line!  So, we IMed and
worked out a couple of the details I needed to re-establish contact with the
site!  Today, I updated the site files and uploaded them to the server and
Hallelujah! we're back up!

Give me a couple days to update our song list, but in the meantime, I've updated
index, news, and meet the knights.  Please let me know if there's anything you
want to see there and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Sorry for the short notice, but I just heard about this ...

The Robbie Greenberger the broadcast is dedicated to is the Boogie Knights'
squire who lost his battle with leukemia just over a week ago at the age of 20.

Yes, we made it to Marcon last year and were relatively well received, but this
year their program director was a little stressed and told us that they were
full up with guests/performers and there was no room for us in the schedule. 
So, we accepted the invitation back to Con Carolinas instead.

Honestly, if we can work out a deal with a Midwest convention to get some
compensation for rooms and/or travel, we'd be happy to perform in the Midwest. 
So far, the furthest west we've been is Columbus, OH.  (Furthest North is
Toronto; furthest East, Boston; and furthest south, Atlanta.)

Isabel, if you can recommend a convention or two that you think would be
interested, let us know or put in a good word for us with the ConComm.  I can't
guarantee that we'd be able to do it, but we'd definitely look into it.

And Isabel, thank you for going to such effort to make it to our concerts. 
That's dedication above and beyond.
