PEERS - Period Events & Entertainments Re-Creation

May 3, 2008

Add Review/Comment

Rouge your knees, roll your stockings down, start the car, and come join us at the hottest speakeasy in Chicago for All That Jazz! PEERS is proud (and truly amazed) to announce that the evening's band will be the one, the only, the incomparable Lee Presson and the Nails. Vintage or modern evening dress (white or black tie optional) is admired, but not required. The year is 1931 but we won't hold you to that. The music will vary between elegant vintage ballroom dance music (waltzes, tangos, fox trots, and Latin), cool blues, and hot Swing of the 1920's and early 30's. For guests wishing to brush up on their vintage dance skills, there will be a pre-ball dance lesson starting at 7:00 p.m. The evening will feature a no-host (cash) bar and a complimentary light snack buffet will be served throughout the evening (your potluck contributions are always appreciated). Intermission entertainment includes both a half-time floor show and DJ dance music for you insatiable dancers.

    Sounds like a great event, especially since a cousin of mine tied for Best Actor in 1932 (Wallace Beery for "The Champ.") But I have a show of my own playing the same night, so I hope everyone has a glamorous and wonderful time! Collapse
