Exciting news in Santa Fe.

The Silver Starlight Lounge at RainbowVision has been great for creating so many fun events for the LGBT crowd from drag shows, trash disco, etc. and now they have done it again.

They have put together the first ever Men’s Only Dance.  So let’s pack the house and spread the word.

December 8th, 2009:   “Speak Softly and Carry a Small Stick: The Art of the Conductor” Tuesday, December 8th, from 5:30pm to 7pm

Imagine that you are sitting in an audience, watching a penguin with a baton, standing in front of 114 other penguins, all with musical instruments in their flippers. Suddenly, you are the penguin at which all of the others are staring. Now imagine you are standing in front of a 114-piece orchestra with nothing but a small white stick in your hand. What next? Do you scream, stamp your feet, or close your eyes and simply pray?

Join us in discovering just what the person behind the baton really does! Our presenter, Roy Rogosin, has a unique perspective for a conductor. He has conducted for motion pictures, television, celebrities (including Johnny Mathis and composer Michel Legrand), the stage…and the White House. He has conducted internationally in Europe, South America, and Asia, as well as throughout the United States.

Join us for what we know will be an informative, fun (and probably gossipy) explication of “The Art of the Conductor.” We are delighted that this will be the first guild program to be presented in collaboration with RainbowVision Santa Fe at RainbowVision, 500 Rodeo Road , Santa Fe 87505 Guild members may attend free of charge. RainbowVision residents: $5; Non-members: $10 To reserve your seat, RSVP by December 1st (as space is limited) to: EducationVP@santafeoperaguild.org or (505) 629-1410 ext. 11 One-year Guild membership is available at the door: $35 (single); $60 (double) A no-host cash bar will be open during the meeting.

It doesn’t take long to feel at home in the City Different. For centuries, Santa Fe has opened its arms to travelers with diverse interests and different backgrounds. All in search of discovery wonder and adventure.

To visit Santa Fe is to step into an enchanting world where natural and man-made beauty converge in a symphony of visual and sensual stimulation unique to New Mexico. The city specifically caters to gay and lesbian travelers, both couples and singles, with a wide spectrum of activities and destinations.

In the early 20th century, Santa Fe began growing as an artist’s haven, welcoming a diverse group of writers, painters, socialites, and photographers eager for new subject matter and a different life. That same open-armed spirit remains today and Santa Fe trails only San Francisco among U.S. metro areas in percentage of households headed by same-sex partners.

The city is home to Rainbow Vision, the first retirement community of its kind in the country for straight and GLBTQ residents and a model for future properties. Opened in 2005, Rainbow Vision has taken an active role in city events while attracting tenants and the public alike to its popular Silver Starlight Cabaret.

A destination for gay and lesbian couples and singles, Santa Fe is home to many gay-popular and gay-owned shops, restaurants, and bars located throughout town.  The Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance keeps a busy schedule of GLBTQ events year ’round.

From Anasazi ruins to a Japanese mountain spa, world renowned restaurants and legendary hotels and resorts, Santa Fe is sure to delight anyone. Catering to the finest of tastes, Santa Fe is also home to some of the most exquisite museums, galleries and performing arts venues in America. Shopping is incomparable and the fresh mountain air will soothe any soul.
