Austin, Texas Presents: bluesSHOUT! 2010
Friday, April 16th - Sunday, April 18th http://www.bluesshout.com/
BluesSHOUT! and its predecessors have been at the top of my radar for 5 years now. I always go, even when I think it's impossible to do so, and I'm always glad I that did. Now that I'm living in England (and totally flat ass broke), I thought it was truly impossible to make it this year... but I'm already starting to reconsider. Now folks in the US have no excuse!
Southwest Airlines has a sale going on RIGHT NOW for folks in Denver if you book by Thursday. Flights during Shout weekend (out Friday, April 16th and back on Monday, April 19th) are as low as $87 per leg.
Hopefully you’ve been saving your pennies for bluesSHOUT! Austin, because we’re happy to announce that REGISTRATION WILL OFFICIALLY OPEN ON Monday, February 15th!! (That’s just in one week, folks.) If you register for the event early, you’ll get the lowest price for all the workshops, social dancing and contests throughout the weekend in Austin.
Early Bird pricing will not last forever, so please register as soon as possible! There will be "After 5" passes offered later in the registration process.
BRING IT!
Don’t forget that if you hope to perform for this year’s Shout, you have another week to submit an entry for selection. Please submit your video clip for review no later than Monday, February 15th. We’re currently looking for:
Girl and/or Guy Troupes
Couples
Partnered Troupes
Solo Blues Performances
Since we know you're the kind of dancer who knows a good thing when you see it, we're offering you a special Early Bird price of $115! (There's also a special discount for international dancers - just $105). You'll want to act fast though, this great price won't last long!
By the way, did you get your performance video together? You've got 'til the end of the night to submit your video to Damon Stone at damon@blues-dance.com !
Tina :)
P.S. Want bluesSHOUT! in your town? BluesSHOUT! 2011 is already set for Boston, but we're looking for cities to host us for the rest of the decade. Think your town has what it takes? We'd love to hear from you at our info line - info@bluesshout.com.

Attention, travelers! We expect that some of you you have been waiting for some sensible airfares to Austin before signing up for bluesSHOUT! - well, now you've got 'em! Airfare Watchdog is finally emailing with some rather reasonable (if not flat out cheap) airfares. Right now we're seeing deals from Ohio, Raleigh, and Salt Lake City, and we expect low fares from other cities to start popping up soon. Some of these prices are unadvertised, so they're not easy to find, so go to http://www.airfarewatchdog.com for more details.
We will also try to keep you posted as we learn more! See ya in Texas!
The bluesSHOUT! Task Force is excited to bring The Asylum Street Spankers to the stage for your dancing pleasure!
Austin is known for it's vibrant live music community. We at bluesSHOUT! like to highlight local talent as well as bring you the best blues music around. The Spankers are one of the most elite blues and folk bands in the country, and we are lucky that they call Austin home.
The Spankers have been shoring up their blues music repertoire just for you, and will be crooning and rocking your blues socks off Saturday night at bluesSHOUT! This is NOT a show to miss!!
NOTE: The first set begins promptly at 9:00PM. Please plan to arrive early (doors will be open at 8:30PM) to enjoy the full show.
Now we're talking! If you've been excited about BluesSHOUT (and who wouldn't, with the announcement of the Asylum Street Spankers and all that), you may also have been pained by the costly
nature of transportation. Well, no more! We're seeing some stellar
deals coming out of several top airlines from lots of cities! Airfare Watchdog is the place to go: www.airfarewatchdog.com
Last call for alcohol... ahem. Let's try that again.
Last call for bluesSHOUT! Full Event passes at $145!
Last call for Dance Only passes at $75!
Last call for tshirts!
Last call for local housing!
Online registration will close on Friday, March 31. After that, registration will be at the door only: $165 for the Full Event pass, and dances can be bought a la carte, for a total of $95.
Housing sign-up is available as part of the registration process. Housing priority goes to folks who have paid, and we are already limited, so you're not going to want to wait until the last minute.
You've got about two weeks to get those registrations in. With the airlines all putting out special deals, now is the time!
Been wondering what our t-shirt will look like this year? It's awesome! Check it out:
Right now, for the weekend of bluesSHOUT!, flights to Austin from MCO are about $200, from Miami $240, and from Ft. Lauderdale $140. Whoa! $140 is ridiculous.
