PS. Just a note to patrons that Mange Ta Ville (”Eat Your City”), a television show on ARTV, will be filming at various times during the event. They are interested in doing a story about Slowdance Night, so this is just a note that you might appear briefly on television at some point. We hope that they will add to the ambiance of the evening, rather than detract from it. Thanks for your understanding.

Want to join the Slow Dance Committee? Who wouldn't!

Perpetual Emotion Machines & Lickety Split smut zine would like to invite you, dear reader, to join our Slow Dance Committee! We are currently preparing the festivities for the Halloween Edition of Slow Dance Night, which will be happening on October 17th in Montreal at the lovely La Sala Rossa (4848 St. Laurent, near St. Joseph).

We need your idle hands to busy themselves by helping make dance cards and corsages. If you don't have a moment to spare before the big event, we are also looking for resident dancers who do us all the honour of deflowering the wallflowers of their dance floor virginity. We also would love some folks to help us put up decorations the afternoon of the Slow Dance. Glory, goodies and Slow Dance pins are yours to be had for joining us!

Do let us know if this sounds like something you'd like to get involved with and we will send you the date of the committee met-up! Send us an e-mail: a@licketysplitzine.com

Thank you!
