Blast from the Past-CD Release of 1969 Lagniappe Musical For Adults Only

Finally, what the entertainment world has been waiting for – the CD release of the '69 Lagniappe musical,“For Adults Only” plus the bonus '68 Lagniappe album “Kingdom Come!” Since the only likely existing vinyl records reside in Charlie Ernst’s basement, he has digitally re-mastered the albums & original album covers & is making a limited supply available at the reunion at a specially-reduced price for NT students of $20 each. Although not yet reviewed by Rolling Stone Magazine, these re-mastered albums promise to have some sort of impact on the genre of American musicals as we know it. So get your own copy of these classic American treasures before you see them on Antiques Road Show at astronomical prices. If you wish to order one, please contact Charlie at cernst@ernstcommunicationsgroup.com

Recommended Hotel Accommodations

Hampton Inn & Suites at 5201 Old Orchard Rd. in Skokie (just west of Edens) is providing a group discount under the group title "New Trier East Reunion - Class of '69". This hotel is very close to the reunion location in Old Orchard and provides complimentary breakfast. The contact is Janice Alvarez at 847-583-2404 or 847-583-1111 or alvarez@raymondteam.com.  Please book ASAP for you can always cancel 30 days prior if you cannot attend! The hotel has only 200 rooms.

As a second hotel alternative that is slightly closer to the reunion location (within walking distance) please consider DoubleTree Hotel at 9599 Skokie Blvd. in Skokie (corner of Gold Rd & Skokie Blvd) which is also offering a group discount. They do not, however, offer a complimentary breakfast, but appear to be slightly less than the Hampton Inn.
