come dance on Saturday

[pekmez]

This Saturday, April 1, at 8pm there's a local blues rock band called The Usual Suspects playing at Temple B'nai Brith's annual Vashti Dance. We hold the dance in honor of Vashti, the queen from the Purim story who gets banished for refusing her husband the king's demand that she dance in front of him and his friends, and raise money to benefit

wasn't vashti killed, not banished?
(i know they probably whitewash it for the kids, but i'm pretty sure in the actual megilah she's killed.)

Yeah, she was totally beheaded.
