What more do I need to say? We've all seen it, right? And those of us who have seen it, have seen it enough that we could probably dance along with the video. Well, now you can join in with the BREATHE performance collective to perform it on the streets of downtown Lake Charles. You don’t have to be a seasoned dancer or performer to zombie out this Halloween; everyone’s invited. Deep down inside you know you want to, and here's your chance!
All those interested in learning the choreography to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, to be performed throughout Pony Fest 2008 weekend, should make plans to be at the first rehearsal, Saturday, September 6, 2008. GiGi has graciously offered her upstairs aerobic space at the GiGI’s Downtown location (700 block of Ryan Street) as rehearsal space. All you have to do is show up. Rehearsal time is 1130AM-130PM. There will be 7 more rehearsals prior to the big show on Halloween weekend; make plans to attend at least 3 of them, and you’ll be a certified zombie!
If you’re not able to attend this first rehearsal, please contact Jillian Ardoin: jillian@poorpony.com.

Please help in getting the news out -- the 12th Annual Gallery Promenade has been rescheduled, no thanks to Gustav for the necessity! We are regrouping to provide a quality event on Friday, September 26th! The buses are going to be running, the art is going to be on view and all we need is you and a few hundred of your closest friends to make this event a belated success!
You may look for updated information in the Lake Charles American Press or call the Arts and Humanities Council of Southwest Louisiana at (337)439-2787.
Friday's performance by the Golden Dragon Acrobats will be postponed to a later date. We will send out an announcement when we know that date, but so far it is up in the air. We promise that they are worth waiting for! For more information call the Lake Charles Civic Center at
The tales of frustrating re-entires are definitely multiplying, but my complaint is a little different…
The frustration of knowing what’s actually Re-OPENED here in town without having to drive around town and take a look-see… Well, I’ve spent much of today calling around, and have started a listing of OPEN information on the poor pony forum.
If looking for a pharmacy, grocery, or even just a place to go out and get some grub and a drink, check it out, and add to it what you find.
cheers! and thanks to all local media who have been providing great coverage!
