An Elegant Affair – Tahoe City, November 21, 2014

An Elegant Affair – Tahoe City, November 21, 2014

An Elegant Affair – Tahoe City, California November 21, 2014It’s time for the 38th Annual An Elegant Affair, a fund-raiser for the North Tahoe Boosters Club.

Each year on the Friday evening, the week before the Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend, the Elegant Affair has been held in Tahoe City, California.

It’s one of those annual charity events that unofficially kicks off the holiday season for me in the North Lake Tahoe area.

This year the 38th Annual Elegant Affair event will happen on Friday, November 21, 2014 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Boatworks Mall in downtown Tahoe City, California.

The North Tahoe Boosters organization puts on a wonderful evening of tasting fine wines, beers, and gourmet appetizers to raise money for the North Tahoe High and Middle School Athletics.   There is also a silent auction and 100% of the events proceeds will go to support the North Tahoe Boosters and their programs.

You many not know, or appreciate the hard work and effort that the North Tahoe Boosters Club does to support Tahoe’s local sports programs.  As school budgets are cut back, many costs fall back onto the students and their families.  The North Tahoe Boosters Club covers the costs for many items like uniforms, equipment, travel expenses, and without their financial support, many programs would just not happen.

While it has been a few years since I was in school, it hasn’t been so long that I don’t remember how important those non-class programs were to me.  This is your opportunity to be a part of helping others have those same experiences by supporting this fund-raising event.

The NT Boosters also give out annual scholarships to seniors who have participated in sports at North Tahoe, so their support of the local Tahoe youth occurs on many levels.

This annual event, An Elegant Affair, is held inside at the Boatworks Mall with wine, beer, and local restaurants setting up tasting stations around the mall on both the first and second levels. Holiday wear is encouraged and black tie is optional, but the truth is casual wear, including jeans is okay too!  So don’t let the dress code keep you from showing up at this great, local event!

I’ve attended this event over the years, and I can tell you it’s a wonderful evening.  It’s fun to dress up and see old friends, meet new people and between the wine tasting, enjoying an array of interesting appetizers from local restaurants, don’t be surprised if you find yourself swaying, or dancing to the music that will be playing in the background.

For those of you still looking for a reason to go to this years’ wine tasting event, did I mention shopping?  Don’t forget to bring your checkbooks because you’re going to find some great silent auction items to bid on.  What could be more fun than wine tasting and shopping at a silent auction and all for a great cause?

This year the event organizers will have twenty-eight (28) local Tahoe-Truckee restaurants and twenty-two (22) fine wineries and two (2) breweries.  If you love wine tasting and are looking for a way to kick-off your holiday season while supporting a good local organizations this is the event for you.

Here are the details of An Elegant Affair in Tahoe City:

38th Annual An Elegant Affair

When:  Friday, November 21, 2014, Starting at 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Where:  Boatworks Mall, 760 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, California

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Tahoe City, Oct 31, 2014

By

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Tahoe City, Oct 31, 2014

Happy Halloween everyone!  It’s Halloween night and the trick-o-treaters have come and gone and you’re ready to have some adult fun in Tahoe City, California!

Tahoe Art Haus and CinemaIf you haven’t made plans, it’s not too late to get tickets to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which will be playing at 10 p.m. and at midnight, tonight, October 31, 2014 at the Cobblestone Movie theater, now known at the Tahoe Art Haus and Cinema!

I missed going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show in college.  While I hate to date myself, I did have the chance to go and have the full audience participation experience and I did not do it.  I should have, but I didn’t, and to this day, I have never seen the movie.

Fast forward, and tonight at 10 p.m. (I know we should be going to the midnight show – what can I say, we’re older now) I will get to have that iconic cult-like experience that I should have had so many years ago.

For those of you that haven’t seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show, from what I have read on-line (thank you Wikipeda and the www.RockyHorror.com websites), and from the previews that I have seen on TV over the years, it’s a musical comedy horror film that was based upon the 1973 musical stage production The Rocky Horror Show, that is a tribute to the many science fiction and classic horror movies that have been made through the early 1970’s.

The film was released in 1975 and for the most part was ignored until audiences began participating by dressing up as the characters in the movie, and becoming an interactive part of the show.  It turned the movie into a classic midnight theater experience.  Today, it is one of the most successful, well-known movies that has been playing on the big screen for almost 40 years!

In preparation for tonight’s show I printed off the “Props” list (you’d be surprised at how much information and “how to” information is out there on this film) and I’ve spent the last few days tracking down the different items I would need to get the most out of my movie experience.

Tahoe Art Haus and CinemaI checked twice, and the newly renovated and remodeled Tahoe Art Haus and Cinema in the Cobblestone Mall at 475 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City, which just recently re-opened under new management, (now serving beer with wine to come) and offering on-line ticketing, confirmed on both the website www.TahoeArtHausCinema.com (which is really well-done and up-to-date) and on their recording (530-584-2431) for me to bring my own props for the showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday, October 31, 2014.

So what did I need to bring?  Here’s a list:

Rice – Two plastic bags of uncooked white rice.

Newspaper – Thank you Sierra Sun!

Water Pistols – This one turned out to be harder to find, so I went with a mini-spray bottle, same effect, better control.

Candles/Flashlight – Open flame in the theater – I said no to using a real candle, but found a great glow stick that should make a nice candle-like glow.  To be used in one of the songs.

Rubber Gloves – To make a snapping sound.

Noisemakers – Who knew the New Year’s Eve stuff would be so handy!

Confetti – Didn’t find that at the store, so I went with the left-over New Year’s Eve streamers that you throw.

Toilet Paper – Snagged two rolls that were nearly all used-up!

Toast – Easy enough to toast two pieces of bread.

Party Hat – You know it, Happy New Year, everyone!

Bell – Again, I thought this was going to be a hard one, but the hardware store had a single bell that Velcro onto your belt strap, or any other strap and is being used by hikers to scare away bears.  When the movie is done, I haven another use for the bell.

Cards – A quick game of poker anyone?

Hot Dogs and Prunes – The guide said to pass on this one, so I did!

My props are all loaded up in my Lake Tahoe bag, and I’m ready to go with my tickets that I purchased on line.

A nice ice cold beverage, some buttered popcorn and I think we’re going to have a great time tonight at the Rocky Horror Picture Show!  Right now it’s raining, and it’s setting a dark, mood for a fun-filled movie night.  When I come out of that theater I expect to come out and find our SUV covered in snow, as our first real winter storm makes its way through the downtown Tahoe City area tonight – yeah!!!

If you’ll be in the greater Truckee – Lake Tahoe area and you’re looking to see a movie, or try something new check out the Tahoe Art Haus and Cinema and see what’s on their upcoming schedule of movies and special events at www.TahoeArtHausCinema.com .

I hope to see you tonight at the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Tahoe Art Haus and Cinema at the Cobblestone Mall in downtown Tahoe City!  Happy Halloween everyone!
