THE EDWARDIAN BALL 2009, JAN 23-25 (SF) & JAN 31 (LA)The award-winning Edwardian Ball waltzes into The Regency Center, January 23rd-25th 2009, in a symphony of music, theatre, dance, art, storytelling, circus arts, fashion, technology, and, of course, the art & stories of Edward Gorey. The festival features a new lineup of top-billing national acts including Rasputina, Vau de Vire Society, Rosin Coven, Cirque Berzerk, Abney Park, Jill Tracy, Paul Mercer & The Ghosts Project, and countless more.

"What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves, they've got their own vision, their own way of fracturing reality, and if it's authentic and true, you'll feel it in your nerve endings." - David Foster Wallace
