Soon the doors will open, and the tickets will change hands.
Soon the ride begins, and we take you with us
On the grandest of adventures
We shall go
Welcome friends and loves, to the trip of a lifetime.
Welcome to the City of New Orleans, that grand old girl.
Buy the ticket, take the ride, as the Man said.
SJ Tucker and Catherynne M. Valente invite you to join them on a unique adventure that will span the nation. You can join them as they ride the City of New Orleans from Chicago, IL, to New Orleans, LA, on the weekend of March 19th to March 23rd, 2009.
Prepare yourself for an incredible journey, including a multi-city adventure tied in with Catherynne M. Valente's urban fantasy novel: Palimpsest.
You may join a beautiful train ride from either Chicago or Memphis to New Orleans, a dramatic Friday night about town with SJ Tucker and Catherynne M. Valente, a full Saturday to explore the city, and an exclusive, semi-formal, semi-costumed, masks-encouraged gala featuring theatrical and musical performances on Saturday night, the 21st of March.
In New Orleans, we have arranged for deluxe accommodations in a period mansion Bed & Breakfast: the world famous Creole Gardens.

The full adventure package includes round trip tickets on AMTRAK's City of New Orleans, two nights stay at the Creole Gardens, and a VIP pass to the weekend's entertainment, including the pre-adventure show in Chicago on Wednesday the 18th of March. A handful of full adventure tickets are still available for $495 (plus shipping and handling).

You may also make your own way to New Orleans, LA, and simply participate in the adventure weekend. This option includes two nights stay at the group destination hotel and a VIP pass to the weekend's entertainment and costs only $275 for a single participant or $375 for a double ticket for two participants.
Separate tickets to the New Orleans Gala at the Creole Gardens are available for $30. This event will be semi-formal, semi-costumed, very kinky, and will feature musical performance by SJ Tucker, Betsy Tinney, and Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey, plus readings and theatrical presentations by Catherynne M. Valente, K' Wiley, and Lee Harrington, a masterful bondage and rope suspension artist.
More details will be revealed according to the needs of our upcoming adventure.
