New Year's Blues Ball 2010

It is just three weeks until we celebrate our way into 2010 with Leeann Atherton and The Little Elmore Reed Blues Band. We thought those of you that are not familiar with the Federation of Women’s Clubs (also known as ‘The Mansion’) might like to know a little more about where we will be ringing in the new year. We will have a great dance area for those of you wanting to dance the night away, so we also thought that those of you that are a bit rusty on your dancing might like to know about some dance classes we are putting on this weekend.
*Blues Association of Austin presents - Holiday Blues Weekend*
Friday December 11 - Sunday December 13
http://www.campbellandchris.com/workshops_dec.html
The holidays are a perfect time of year to treat yourself to something special, and we've got a special blues weekend planned for you! We're bringing in Tim O'Neill, a gem in the national blues scene, to share his great instruction and dancing. Classes will also be taught by Campbell, Chris, and Mallory from Austin.
In addition to the workshop, we have 3 nights of dancing!
~Kick Butt Blues on Friday with live music by Greg Izor & the Boxkickers
~~Special Saturday dance at Galaxy Dance Studios with DJs Chris and Thain
~~~Our new monthly Sunday Blues Groove dance at Kick Butt Coffee in the Triangle
*The Federation of Women’s Clubs (The Mansion)*
You can view some pictures of this beautiful building at http://dj-stpatrick.com/themansion/
The Mansion is a Texas Historic Landmark, an Austin Historic Landmark and is listed with the National Register of Historic places. It was designed by noted Dallas architect Henry Coke Knight to be the state headquarters for the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs and is considered to be one of the best examples of Georgian Revival architecture in Texas. It was completed in 1931 with assistance from noted philanthropist, Clara Driscoll, whose Austin residence was Laguna Gloria, current home of the Austin Museum of Art.
The Grand Ballroom, the largest of its kind in central Texas. The polished oak floor spans over four thousand square feet (two average houses could fit inside!) and the ceiling soars to thirty feet. The room is dramatically illuminated with vintage bronze and crystal wall sconces, for a total of seventy candlelight bulbs and a thousand sparkling crystal drops!
The Formal Dining Room features dramatic classical columns and expansive bay windows. Victorian couches and period tables and chairs furnish this lovely space.
The Victorian Parlor features a fireplace and antique furniture. Chairs and sofas are clustered for relaxed and easy conversation.
The Library features a collection of Texana, including books by and about notable women. It is a comfortable retreat with antique sofas and armchairs.
In the nineteen-thirties and forties, the Georgian Room was an operating tea room. The original hat-check stand is there, along with hardwood flooring and wall sconces. It is basically a ballroom in miniature, with tall, elegant windows and a vaulted ceiling.
Be sure to buy tickets online at http://bluesassociationofaustin.com/bluesball, at Kick Butt Coffee at 5775 Airport Blvd., at any BAA event, or from the Little Elmore Reed Band. All tickets are cash or check only except online. Make checks payable to ‘The Blues Association of Austin’.
