Ellsworth Avenue (at Tilton), San Mateo, CA 94401 Doors Open: 6:45 p.m. Dance Lesson: 7:00 p.m. Dancing begins: 8:00 p.m. Band: Sara & Swingtime Advance Tickets: $15.00 (by May 30, 2009) Tickets: $20.00 at the door Ball website: http://www.peers.org/secret.html Swinging on the Riviera one day, And laying in a Bombay alley next day. You let the wrong word slip Through kissing persuasive lips, Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man! Secret Agent Man! They’ve given you a number And taken away your name! Don’t miss the most swinging ball of the season for those spies who live a life of danger and romance. Secret agents, femme fatales, megalomaniac villains and innocent bystanders are all invited to this musical tribute to the Cold War Secret Agent. Sara & Swingtime play a varied and always suspenseful evening of vintage ballroom dance music, hot Swing, and cool blues, including a few secret agent movie song classics. Dance East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop, elegant fox trots, blues fox trot, and tango, the cha-cha and rumba, the night club two-step, and a number of truly haunting waltzes. Suggested attire is vintage or modern evening dress or 1940’s through 60’s costume (from early Hitchcock to “The Avengers.”). Day dress is always perfectly acceptable for you innocent bystander types who have just wandered into the adventure and have, perhaps, seen too much for your own good! (Remember “The Man Who Knew Too Much”?!). In deference to Mrs. Peel’s impeccable fashion sense, the ladies may choose to adopt either traditional evening dress or a trouser suit! There will be a no host (cash) bar, and a light snack buffet (your potluck contributions are very welcome! Even 00 operatives have to eat!). At intermission there will be musical and dance performances by the famous Danse Libre and notorious PEERS Flying CirCUS and dance music provided by our mystery DJ. To order advance tickets for the ball, please send a check for $15.00 each to PEERS at 2144 B Buena Vista Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501.
