FAKE PROM LAST-MINUTE UPDATES.
It looks like it will be a perfect moonlit evening at the Palais Royale. So if you're planning on joining us, here is what you need to know...

1) ADVANCED TICKETS GOING FAST
There are still some tickets left at all of our outlets. They're going fast, but don't worry....

2) YES, THERE WILL BE TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR
We have set aside 300 tickets at the door. If you're a punctual cowboy or cowgirl, you'll have no problem getting in.

3) FAKE PROM TIPS A HAT TO STEAMWHISTLE!
At this year's Fake Prom, you can wet your whistle with a genuine STEAMWHISTLE beer. STEAMWHISTLE BREWERIES will be supplying Palais Royale with some real swell suds at bargain basement prices.

4) MORE BARS! MORE DANCE TIME!
We've been working with Palais Royale, rustling up some schemes to make the ticket + beer lineups run faster. It should be a real smooth operation. Plus, we're keeping the dance floor open after last call, for those of you who are looking for trouble late into the night.

a) Go WEST on the KING ST streetcar (504) and get off where King meets Queen (heh) at Roncesvalles. Go to the south side of the street, look for the bridge. Just cross the bridge to get to Palais Royale. As the crow flies?

b) Go WEST on the QUEEN ST streetcar (501) and get off where King meets Queen (heh) at Roncesvalles. Go to the south side of the street, look for the bridge. Just cross the bridge to get to Palais Royale. As the crow flies?

c) Take the SUBWAY to DUNDAS WEST STATION and take the 504 BUS south. Due to construction, the 504 streetcar has been replaced by the 504 BUS. The bus detours down Lansdowne before hooking back onto Queen. Get off where Queen meets King (heh) at Roncesvalles. Go to the south side of the street, look for the bridge. Just cross the bridge to get to Palais Royale. As the crow flies?

We've got lots of great stuff planned for tomorrow, pardner. See you there!

Regards,
Superintendent Reibling

It wouldn't be Fake Prom without some non-stop dancing. As always, you can expect to hear the classic songs you probably heard back in the days of your own high school prom. Back by popular demand are our favourite music-rustlers - DJ Dougie Boom (DMONEY) is back for his fourth Fake Prom and he's bringing with him his trusty sidekick from last year, DJ Shit La Merde. Their quickdraw music selections will be sure to keep you on the dance floor and keep them from getting hog-tied.

Fake Prom relies on the keen sensibilities of its attendees to help build the DJs set lists for the evening. We're looking for those songs that you may not have heard in 10 years, but still have all the lyrics lodged in your brain somewhere. These songs are integral to ANY prom (be it Fake or not!), so give us a hand. Here are a few hints to get you started:

THEME-APPROPRIATE:
This year's wild west theme of is rife with inspiration for music about girls, guns, and the law. Songs about cowgirls ("Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones), outlaws ("Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi), or anything from the Young Guns soundtrack are just the beginning.

SLOW DANCING:
What better way to find a partner in crime than with a slow jam? We need a reason to dim the lights, so give us your favourite smoove tracks!

Please forward all musical requests to the DJs at requests@fakeprom.com

As always, one of the centrepieces of Fake Prom is the Fake Prom Band. Every year, we gather a talented group of young musicians who thrill the audience with brilliant renditions of favourite prom classics. This year, we have had the fortune to ensnare one of the best local bands - STEAMBOAT! (Featuring members from last year's Fake Prom Band, THE BEST).

No Fake Prom would be complete without having your portrait taken under the balloon arch. The Fake Prom Decorating Committee always works hard to ensure the perfect backdrop for enshrining the magic of the evening forever. This year, we have come up with a backdrop that will drop you smack dab in the centre of the action of an old saloon.

Okay, here's the deal: Every single person who comes to Fake Prom receives a blank ballot for Fake Prom Queen and Fake Prom King. Once you get your ballot, you can write-in the name of the people you'd like to win. It can be yourself, someone you know, or someone you made up. At the end of the night, the Fake Prom committee scrambles to sort through the hundreds of ballots in order to figure out which people got the most votes. Ocassionally, people have mounted successful, organized campaigns to become Fake Prom King and Queen, but usually the winners are the people with the most outlandish costumes and outfits. Oh, and sometimes it's just the people who are dressed the trampiest. So you've got a bunch of different options there for you if you're trying to win the coveted sash and tiara.

We have a lot in store for this year's Fake Prom. Those of you who attended Fake Prom in the past know what an action-packed and value-added event it is. So please feel free to pass this invitation out to your friends. Also, be sure to send me any Fake Prom music requests that you may have. I look forward to chaperoning you, Superintendent Reibling c/o Fake Prom Committee
