Egg Bag February 2008

THE EGG-BAG-FEBRUARY 2008 ISSUE

Monthly Newsletter of the Larry West Assembly No. 23 Society of American Magicians

The Larry West Assembly meets the 3rd Wednesday every month at the National Press Club, at 14th and F Streets, N.W. in Washington, D.C.


Join us for magic, fun and fellowship. Cocktails start at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting at 8 p.m. Dress code: please remember that the Assembly is a guest of the National Press Club. Gentlemen should dress business casual or better–no Tee-shirts, shorts, jeans or flip-flops to the dinner meetings. Ladies should dress correspondingly appropriately.


OUR NEXT MEETING – FEBRUARY 20, 2008


Theme for this meeting:

The theme is “Show us what you want to show us,” which is to say, there is no official theme this month. The meeting will be an opportunity for each member to show us a work in progress, or showcase a favorite routine, as he or she chooses. This is also an opportunity for performers looking for constructive feed back on their routines to ask for and receive it from other members.


UPCOMING SPECIAL MARCH EVENT:

Our March meeting will be the first Annual “Sammy Award” night honoring Barry Taylor. The evening will begin at 6:30 with cocktails, dinner at 7 p.m. is optional for $25 and the program will begin at 8 p.m. The program (not including any dinner) is free to Assembly 23 members and $10 for non-members. Attached to this newsletter is a flyer promoting the event for distribution to interested non-members.


FUTURE THEMES:

March-First annual “Sammy Award” honoring Barry Taylor

April-“Annual Close-up Show”

May-“Show us what you want to show us”
