edwardian
mr. nightshade’s photos from the edwardian ball on saturday night are up.
certainly this is not meant as a disparagement toward those who curated/produced the show and did an amazing job (the displays were very cool!! and i did like the music, just not for a live standing-room-only performance), but, for me…..dressing up was 90+% of the fun. i got coiffed with a great group of ladies and we were very excited and had loads of fun getting all stuffed into our corsets and putting on our gorey accoutremonts. but once we got there……i didn’t realize it was going to be such a “see and be seen” scene. lots of standing around. not much activity. i guess that’s what happens when costuming and drinking are the major focus. or maybe i just wasn’t in the mood. everyone else seemed to be having a pleasant time.
in any case:

isn’t 99% (sf) nightlife see and been seen?
well, yes, but this in particular did not really involve any dancing or activities other than standing around looking awesome and having your photo taken. i mean, it is what it is, and for what it is, it’s lovely. but i was just not that into it. perhaps the friday night or sunday night events are more interactive than the Ball.
No. But it is 99% drink-and-get-drunk.
There was ballroom dancing (and appropriate music) Saturday night, but as the evening progressed and the crowd grew, this became less possible. By the time I saw you and snapped the above photo, this was definitely the case.
Kind of amazing that even with the size of the Regency Center would there be too many people. Makes one wonder how we ever fit into the Great American Music Hall.
