20th Annual Beauty and the Beast Convention

Another Life, Another Dream:
Memories Beyond The Light of a Candle

2009 Beauty and the Beast Convention, New Orleans LA

July 10-12, 2009


Described as the cultural love child of genteel old Europe, the exotic Caribbean, and the sultry South, New Orleans’ original colonial neighborhood (now known as the French Quarter), sets the scene for memorable, romantic getaways. This is a city that revels in its passions, and for the visitor with an open heart the sensuality here can be infectious.

Join us as Catherine and Vincent take us to the romance of New Orleans. A place where ladies sashayed and swooned and men were daring and dashing, and pirates navigated into the Port of Orleans to sell their wares.
In New Orleans, Catherine and Vincent could truly live another life and dream another dream, their life and their dream. They could make new memories beyond the light of a candle.

And so, come with us to New Orleans, where Vincent and Catherine can take a leisurely walk in the sunshine along the streets of the Vieux Carre'. You just might catch a glimpse of them through the crowd lingering past Preservation Hall as the jazz music carries on the summer breeze. Or you might see them holding hands as they walk along the oaks that lead to Oak Alley Plantation. You might see them strolling along the banks of the Mississippi along the Riverwalk or sharing a mint julep on the balcony of a French Quarter hotel.

As our Tunnel Family gathers once again, we will share a segment of time captured forever. We will share laughs galore, and a few tears. We will continue to honor our traditions such as our beautiful and moving candle lighting ceremony, art auction, costume party, talent show, and dealer room. We will remember others less fortunate than ourselves with our charity auction.
