In part because the overwhelming number of registrations that we’ve gotten have let us make our most recent payment, and in part because we’d like to give people the opportunity to still pay $100 at Turkey Dance, we’ve extended the deadline for New Year’s.

On December 1st, the price jumps to $120 across the board. We are not kidding. This is the one mulligan.

The prices will jump again later in December.

So you’ve all got one more week to convince friends to put together tables, and bring your checkbooks to Turkey Dance!

1. We have a short write-up about Turkey Weekend. Expect the information to be filled out in the next few days.

2. We wrote up a New Year’s FAQ file answering a lot of questions we’ve been getting. This is most valuable for hotel information.

3. The deadline for reserving a hotel is coming up (Dec 7). As such, you can reserve a room without registering and paying for New Years first. It’s important that you get both done ASAP, so you don’t have to wait for us to pass your name to the hotel anymore after you register.

(a more formal announcement, with schedule, is available here.)

Amid all of the buzz about New Years, Turkey Dance is also still happening in Chicago at the end of the month. More details will be posted on this site at a later date, but for now, know that Turkey Dance will be, again, happening at Fondo Sale at PLC in Lemont starting at 8pm on November 24, 2005. Festivities will be planned for the other evenings during the weekend. If you would like to stay at a hotel, we are suggesting the Holiday Inn again, like last year. Here is the link to make a reservation. Unfortunately we do not have any special group rate, but hopefully the cheap rates for New Years makes up for it See you at Turkey Dance, and if you can’t make it, see you at New Years!!!

Many of you have emailed / called / silently suffered over issues regarding getting your rooms at the Westin. We’re trying to get on top of things, and the Westin has told us that, with any troubles, you should call one of our reps there, Jody. Her telephone number is: +1 312 321 7177.

In addition to our lottery of a free hotel room on New Year’s Eve open to all paid and registered attendees, CLJS announces a second raffle on Oct. 2, at Lithuanian Days in Los Angeles. To win this free room, you just need to be holding the winning ticket. Tickets are $10 apiece, and we’ll be selling them at LT Days. If you like, you can also send us, via PayPal (to ljs.cikaga < @> gmail.com) a multiple of $10 and we’ll consider those as tickets bought as well. Of course, this is also only available to those who have registered and paid for our unique New Year’s Eve Celebration in Downtown Chicago.

As those of you who have already paid know (since I sent an email out), we’re firming up our Schedule of Events. Expect to see some changes there soon!

Finally, if you’d like to register in person, we’ll be at LT Days on Oct. 1 and 2. You can pay either $98 by check or $100 in cash. And buy raffle tickets, of course.
