An exciting change regarding Longest Night Ball

Because of a last minute change and bureaucratic BS, the Longest Night Ball has been moved to the SMUUCh. Normally, a change of venue this close to an event might be considered a bad thing, but I kind of think it is awesome for two reasons.

1) Since they aren't having to pay high event space costs, they are REDUCING ticket prices!!! That's right, if the reason you weren't coming was the cost of the tickets, that obstacle has been removed. Ticket prices will now be $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

2) Since they are refunding the difference at the ball for those of us who have already purchased our tickets, that is that much more money to spend on the artists and photography and drinks and face painting and all the other amazing things that will be available at the Ball, which will ultimately mean more money going to the Gaia Community, which is the point of this, after all.

If you haven't already purchased your tickets, head on over to the newly updated page at:

http://longestnight.org

and buy your now cheaper tickets!!!!!

(Did I mention I will be there, wearing my new, deliciously touchable leather corset? Come pet me!)

If someone could get some good photos for me, I could do a featurette on it, if not a full article.

There will be an offical photographer there, Russ Matthews, who is [livejournal.com profile] arkhamrefugee, and his work can be found at http://www.russmattphoto.com . I don't know if he might be willing to discuss publication rights in exchange for advertising or other compensation, but you might contact him and discuss it with him. He is the awesome photographer who took the picture in my default icon here, as well as a great friend. Please consider contacting him and seeing if you can work something out. It would be wonderful publicity for an event that supports a really great group of people. If you need further event information, contact [livejournal.com profile] featherynscale.
