Aunt Dottie's FAMILY TIME Sing-along

Monday, December 28, 2009

7:00 PM

Renton Civic Theater

You asked for this show, so YOU get it! Bring the whole family! This show will be the perfect antidote for the after-holiday-blahs!! Impress your out-of-town guests!! We'll make sure to get the kids up and dancing and get 'em good and worn out so they finally SLEEP!

NOW, let me just say that  I hope you can all feel me sending you hugs and kisses across the beautiful world wide web! I love ALL my fans; you TRULY are the STARS of the show! To everyone who has ever been to an Aunt Dottie show this past year, we thank you!! To all of you fans who were able to join us yesterday for our very special One-year Anniversary show, Nephew Aaron and I send even more thanks!! We thank the lovely Laurel for singing and bringing all the sassy ladies from Stafford Suites AND for the gorgeous bouquet of flowers! I thank my friend, Carolyn Abbott who was our special guest. I even thank my ex-husband, Quinton, who (surprisingly) brought his drums. Who knew he'd learned a new skill?? Quinton was so encouraged by all of you that he's decided to take his drums on tour. You might find him playing in a town near you, which is GOOD because when my current husband, Leonard, heard about it . . . . well . . . let's just say that he was a little JEALOUS and not too happy! (That's what happens when he doesn't come to the show.)

December is going to be a busy month for me,  in addition to the two Aunt Dottie's Sing-alongs I just announced; while Nephew Aaron is off playing at Chopstix Tacoma, I'll be making some special appearances at Coulon Park on December 4th, I'll be leading the Christmas Karaoke Sing-along for the City of Renton's Clam Lights; December 19th & 20th, I'll be in the Kirkland Performance Center's Old-time Holiday show:

Lastly, a couple of my young fans sent me pictures that they drew of Aunt Dottie. If ANY of you have drawings or photos of Aunt Dottie, Nephew Aaron, and/or our show, please email them to me at auntdottiesings@hotmail.com and I'd be glad to post them here on my blog!! (if you click on the images, they get larger and you can see the full effect. Aren't they cute? Don't I have the best fans in the world?? I'll answer that: I DO!! Here's wishing peace, love, and rock 'n roll to ALL!!

507 South Third Street Renton, WA 98055

Tickets are $10 at the door;

or call: 425-226-5529  for reservations (leave a message if no one answers!)

Here are the TOP TEN reasons (in no particular order) to see Aunt Dottie's Sing-Along Cabaret this coming Sunday:

1. It is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY show! That's right, Nephew Aaron and and I have been entertaining you lovely folks since November 2008!

2. It is the ONLY show in of the year in which I will sing my (in)famous "Turkey Carol" in honor of the coming Thanksgiving Holiday.

3. Special guest Carolyn Abbott

4. Featured performer performer Doug Mackey.
5. The snack bar sells beer, wine and mimosas that you can bring into the theatre with you.

6. New songs. (Aren't there ALWAYS new songs?)

7. You can bring the whole FAMILY. I'm serious here, we've had 'em as young as 2 and as old as 102 (Seriously!). We do our best to make it fun for everyone . . . even your angry, grumpy, texting teenager . . . all those people you have in town for the Thanksgiving holiday will thank you for bringing them to Aunt Dottie's show.

8. There will be prizes!

9. Nephew Aaron on piano.

10. We always encourage but NEVER force the audience to sing along. We are all about the peace, love, and rock 'n roll! (and tickets are still only $10 at the door!)

See you there! Hugs & kisses, Aunt Dottie

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY - TO US!!!

It was one year ago today that I married my current husband, Leonard, on the deck of a cruise ship. Originally, I'd planned on Leonard joining me for a life at sea -like most of my other husbands- but, as soon as the ship pulled away from the dock -well, it just wasn't meant to be. The poor man probably would probably get seasick on the kiddie boat ride at the county fair. At any rate, it just meant moving to Leonard's hometown of Renton, WA and finding something new to do. Lucky for me, my Nephew Aaron ALSO lived in Renton. So we began rehearsing and did our first shows at Renton Civic Theatre in November of 2008.

In honor of all these momentous events, we are planning an extra-special ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY show! Oh, we are so excited. I hope you can all make it out.

THANK YOU WEST SEATTLE!

An enormous "thank you" to all the fine folks at Kenyon Hall and the audience in West Seattle. Nephew Aaron and I had a grand time last night! We sang, we danced, we had contests and gave away lots of prizes. We sang some new songs. We sang some old songs. We met new friends. We reconnected with old friends. As a special surprise, my friend, Kelly Wright, sang with me. All in all, a LOVELY night! Nephew Aaron reminded me of something last night: my one-year anniversary with my current husband,  Leonard, is coming up here. We were wed on October 31, 2008. So, Halloween THIS year is our one year anniversary. This is the longest I've been married to anyone EVER. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts . . . Leonard is a pretty good fellow and I really love my adopted hometown of Renton, WA.

There is also another anniversary coming up. The one year anniversary of Nephew Aaron and I performing together. We are celebrating by doing a one-year anniversary show, of course! I hope you can make it to this extravaganza. We are going to pull out all the stops for this show!
