    A big thank you goes out to all the guests, sponsors, performers, artists, vendors, DJs and conspirators supporting the Dances of Vice Festival! The Festival was a magnificent success, attracting over 700 elegant attendees and artists over the course of the weekend, with guests traveling from as far as London, Los Angeles, Australia and Vancouver to attend. You were truly a vision to behold, and so much fun was had Let's all do it again sometime, shall we?

    That being said, we would like to express our sincere apology and regret that the raffle did not take off on Saturday due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances. Please be assured that we had planned long and hard for the raffle to take place, and beg your understanding and patience as we devise a way of distributing the remaining prizes to our guests in a way that promises to be fun!

    2008 Dances of Vice Festival Website Introduction:

    Welcome to the Dances of Vice Festival website! We invite all modern dandies, decadents, aesthetes, artists, thinkers, and dreamers to join us on February 8th and 9th for the 2008 Dances of Vice Festival in New York City! While our regular monthly events are grounded in the 1920-30s, the 2008 Dances of Vice Festival will have a distinctly Neo-Victorian flair.

    In addition to our roster of sensational live entertainment, the Dances of Vice Festival will also feature a number of exciting vendors, an art exhibition, and an elaborate vintage Polaroid photo booth, with over $3000 worth of costume prizes and giveaways to be distributed throughout course of the event.

    You are invited to join our mailing list, Myspace, or LiveJournal Community to keep abreast on festival announcements. We look forward to welcoming you to Dances of Vice!

    Can't wait for the festival? Come by to one of our regular monthly events sometime at The Pussycat Lounge!
