Playlist: Arisia 1.19.19 (Excelsior!)

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a Marvelous dance of Mighty True Believers at Arisia '19!
We threw EXCELSIOR as a dance party to honor the memory of Stan Lee and celebrate the love of his fans! In fact, I was so affected by his death, I told my partner Dirge the night he died, if we were offered a second dance this year at Arisia, I wanted it to be Excelsior. He, also an avid fan of Stan Lee, solidly agreed.
We also intended Excelsior and our Timey Wimey dance to act as fundraisers for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.
Dirge and I felt it was important to help is some way beyond just volunteering as entertainment given all the issues the arose within the convention that led to its change in leadership and the dramatic rise in voting membership. This seemed like the way we might help best and give many in the community who could not take the time to join the board an opportunity to participate in an important element of keeping Arisia and all our friends safe.

As of this posting we raised $225 of our arbitrary $1000 goal with 5 donations from attendees other than ourselves. We know the con itself is distracting and busy, but hope those who took part will take a moment now to be generous to give a little something to the cause. BARCC's mission is to end sexual violence and they actively provide educational and preventative training to Arisia, Inc. staff and attendees.

It is always such an honor and privilege to throw these parties, though this time was special in ways far greater for me than ever before. I'm so grateful to you all for more reasons than I can express, more than you'll ever really know!

We look forward to next year! Please be sure to tell the PTB we did a good job for you! You can find links to offer feedback here!

Dirge and I have pending plans for an upcoming event, so if you're interested, please keep an eye on my website for info, links, add me on FB or Twitter from there, etc...

Thank you all again and until next time True Believers:
Excelsior!
