On a unicycle, juggling feather boas with the wind in your suspenders!

KLM often do cheap flights.

When do those application forms come out?

ooh i can really recommend the carlton arms on 25th and lexington, Ye Olde Carlton Arms Hotel

we stayed here for ages and it's cheapish; especially if you share with another festival performer

we stayed in room 14 on the B floor


It's not the best hotel in New York but it's clean and fun, shared bathrooms mainly.

all the best for everyone who's doing the festival

I will make an announcement on that in a few days...

DON'T go via Charlotte with eight hour waits in between flights like I just did.

Hi...for those who may have been wondering, I should let you know that the applications from the e-mails you have sent will go out sometime in May.

Why so late? And why so early giving the NYBF notice?

Very simple, the UK is a growing force in the burlesque world. And getting the NYBF notice out by May, I fear may not give performers enough time to prepare their acts or raise funds to travel to our great city.

This is why I needed to be an early bird about things. So now, for those who have applied, that you have a reasonable timetable to create and plan.

For those who are still thinking about it...you will have I would say, about to the third week in May before the NYBF process begins.

Coming to New York will be worth the effort if you are selected.

And bravo to those who have ideas of where to stay and get discount flights. Now you have more of an idea to put your plans in motion!!!

See you in New York!!!

Any suggestions or ideas?

Bringing this back up for flight info- does anyone know if its cheaper to buy in advance or nearer the time? Im looking at it seems that if I travelled in May it would be £100 cheaper than if I booked for several months ahead, is that the case?
