| I don't want to get ahead of the situation but the club webpage says 21 and over all the time. I hope that changes so kids can attend.
the webpage also says no sneakers.....I'm sure this will be an exception but I'd like to know before getting the kids tickets and show up in sneakers.
I sent out an email to all my friends, i hope its a HUGE crowd and they raise LOTS of money.
I'm looking forward to the show |

Location: Chicago | Hopefully I can come out for this one. This is a really tough time of year for me to take time off. The web page says they are planning multiple shows so hopefully I can get to at least one of them. Cross your fingers. |

Location: Baltimore, MD | No sneakers? I don't think we've had to deal with dress code issues at a TS show....I'm planning to wear the black sneaks with hot pink laces...because...I can....
Just got approval for the 16th and 17th off from work (I cited "Religious observances") While the recent events which precipitated having this show are so tragic, I'm thrilled that we'll have a Christmas show again this year! My continued thoughts with all of the NY and NJ brothers and sisters who will be recovering for many, many months ahead.
see you in December, my babies! |

Cool! Thanks! I'll keep you posted. The big challenge for me will be that the show is on Sunday night as I have to work Monday. I'll see what I can pull off. |

| I just called the club and spoke to Amanda. She promised to get back to me within 24 hours on if people under 21 can attend the show. I'll be there with friends either way, but was hoping to take at least one of my kids. |

| A member of the club called me back today and said the policy is 21+ to enter, and that policy will be in effect the night of the TS show.
If anyone hears different information please let me know. It looks like its going to be a great show, the lineup is really coming together. |

She's 13. I can't believe they have a 21+ restriction for a Christmas show. And a show that's supposed to be a charity event at that. Seems a bit ridiculous to me. When you're running a charity event, you typically want as many people as possible to be there. That screws the whole trip. |

Location: Baltimore, MD | Chris call the club and ask to speak to the manager....explain that you and your daughter are flying in from Chicago just to go to this show, that it's her Christmas gift this year, that you are her chaperone and she'll stay with you the whole time...and see if they can do anything for you. |

| Terry, Slamboard members
I ordered my tickets last night and on the receipt i got in my email it says any age admitted if accompanied by an adult. So it sounds like children can attend with parents or guardians. Thank you for working this out
See you all next Sunday. Hope its a big turnout that makes lots of money for the cause. |
