o°) ACTIVITIES IN THE LA NOUBA THEATER
       There are just a few tiny little details to finish up,
       which will happen in the next couple of days, but we just
       couldn’t wait to tell you something!
       In our published "tentative" itinerary, we set aside
       Saturday afternoon for a possible Cirque du Soleil
       activity; while the exact time has yet to be determined,
       it looks like that is going to happen and it’s going to
       be VERY COOL!  Be sure to keep that time slot open, you
       won’t want to miss it!
       After that activity, we’ll want to gather our group of
       passionates together at the Cirque du Soleil sign on the
       La Nouba Theater for a Group Photo with our own cameras
       (likely one of many to be taken this day...*cough*), then
       assemble at the House of Blues for our Group Meal.
       We'll eat, drink and be merry, then assemble for the 9:00pm
       performance of La Nouba. After the show (that's right,
       AFTER), stay in your seats because we'll be doing a few
       "little" things with some *ahem* folks. So don't make
       plans to leave immediately after the show! You REALLY
       won't want to miss this!
       With all Cirque du Soleil activities on Saturday you will
       need to have your badge on your person. For the afternoon
       activity you will just need a badge; for the "after show"
       activity, you will need both your badge and a ticket for
       the 9:00pm performance. We will be unable to let anyone
       into the theater after the show.
       Remember though, with all things Cirque it is subject to
       change, but we are very excited!!
°o°) CIRQUECON 2007 ORLANDO T-SHIRT, WHERE?!
       They were quite popular with our passionates last year in
       Las Vegas, and some of you have asked us about them again
       this year - so where are those CirqueCon T-Shirts?!
       Unfortunately, due to the short development time Rich and
       I have had for CirqueCon 2007, we didn't have enough time
       to finalize a logo design for T-shirt production; therefore,
       we couldn't offer one this year through the vendor we used
       last year - there wouldn't have been enough lead time for
       printing and shipping.
       BUT, our Graphics Guy has a solution for those who are
       a little adventurous - make your own! And I'll let him tell
       you how to do that in his own words: take it away Rich!

       To create a T-Shirt using the CirqueCon 2007: Orlando!
       official graphic, simply navigate to the picture on the
       web site (www.cirquecon.com/2007/tshirt.htm), click on the
       thumbnail, and choose to save the full image to your
       computer of choice. Once saved on your computer, load the
       graphic in your favorite graphic software (a Paint program or
       even Microsoft Word), print the picture on Color Ink Jet
       printer using a special "Dark T-shirt Transfer Paper".
       Once printed, follow the instructions that came with the
       transfer paper to iron the image onto a T-Shirt.
       The "Special Dark T-shirt Transfer" paper is readily
       available from office supply and craft stores.  The brand
       I use often is Avery, their part number is 3279, the name of
       the product is "Dark T-Shirt Transfers" and I have had great
       success with any number of different ink jet printers.  This
       product does NOT require any special ink for the printer
       and, can be ironed on a shirt with a standard household iron.
       The only trick I've learned is when washing a shirt, turn the
       shirt inside out for washing and drying and, dry on medium
       heat.

       We do apologize that we didn't have the official CirqueCon
       2007 graphic available for T-shirt processing earlier, but
       for those of you interested in showing your CirqueCon
       passion, here's the way you can do it!
       Find the graphic on our page dedicated to the T-Shirt,
       < http://www.cirquecon.com/2007/tshirt.htm >.
As always, if you should have any questions regarding our upcoming
event in Orlando, please let us know!
C-ya real soon and get ready for a Zippity-du-Soleil time!
