Dear Austin Blues Party Attendee, It’s been a few days, and we’ve all finally started to recover from an absolutely amazing weekend of classes and dancing. Now that we’ve slept a bit, we’ve got a couple of things to wrap up. T-Shirts If you paid for a t-shirt and did not pick yours up this weekend, please e-mail us ASAP so that we can get that in the mail to you. If you did NOT order a t-shirt and would like to be on the waiting list, please e-mail us and let us know what size you’d like. T-shirts purchased from the waiting list will be $20.00, which will include priority mail shipping to you. Since we’d like to get on with the business of distributing the shirts, if you haven’t yet received your shirt we’ll need to know by July 19. Survey If you were here last year, you know that we took the responses to our survey very seriously as we work to make Austin Blues Party the best blues event in the world. To those of you who already filled out a survey – thank you. If you haven’t yet, or if you’d like to elaborate on your answers, please check out our online survey at the link below. The most valuable answers for us are the free-form answers, so please be as specific and detailed as you can. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=vNvQrzaZhoO1_2bwk1EBIxDQ_3d_3d Lost and Found Please check out The Lost And Found Page for the list of lost and found items from the weekend. Please e-mail us if there’s a match, and we’ll get your belongings back to you. Thank Yous It takes a lot of people to put on a weekend like Austin Blues Party. We’d be remiss if we didn’t send out a few thank yous. Our volunteer staff: Stephanie Jordan, Tiffany Barbarash, Elisa Chavez, Shoshi Krieger, Mike Legett, Suzanne Julian, John Brooks, Ron Bartling, Brian Reed, Emily Barr, Elissa Dodd, Daniel Mullins, Ami Miller, Wayne He, Mallory Grigg, April Oertwig, Tim Smith, Jeff Scott, Dee Kalick, and Keegan Van Zile.

DJs: Steven “Dr. Feelgood” Watkins, Heather Adams, Rachel Jordan, Colin Wise, Matt Jones, Bryan Spellman, and a selection of your instructors from above. So on behalf of the entire Blues Association of Austin, thanks – we couldn’t have done it without you. But more importantly, thank you, for coming and making this event so great. The heart of Austin Blues Party is the people who come from all over the world to live it up in our little town. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to showcase Austin, and thank you for showing us a damn good time. Until next time, keep dancing, keep partying, and (for the love of God and all the kittens in the world) don’t forget to pulse! -Keith |
