Wednesday 26th March 2003: Hello Everyone!

I've had a few enquiries from fans asking for more detail about what would be appropriate to wear for the opening night of the Houston Film Festival. I've contacted the Festival office again, and they told me that Cocktail attire would be perfect for the opening night. The Champagne Reception at the Inter-Continental Hotel follows after the early 7.15pm screening of Patrick and Lisa's film "One Last Dance".

They said they have invited guests coming from all over the world, so there will be guests in Cocktail wear and there may be some guests in casual wear too, but bear in mind the Champagne Reception follows at the Inter-Continental if you will be going there afterwards.

In friendship, Margaret. Saturday 22nd March 2003: Hello Everyone!

The WorldFest office have told us that the "dress code" for the opening night of the Houston Film Festival is semi-formal. If that changes at all, we will let you know right away. Remember to e-mail us at fanclub@patrickswayze.wisdomdigital.com if you intend to travel to Houston to see "One Last Dance" being introduced in person by Patrick and Lisa!

In friendship, Margaret.
