Video, 23 Jelly - Adult Ballroom Social, IC Announcement and Planning

[She sighs.]

Right. So we all know how yesterday was a thing that happened. Apologies to anyone who had to deal with teenage me, by the way.

Now, I can't speak for everyone, but I sure as heck think it'd help if we could all come together and organize something to help us get past it. I'm talking about a formal, adult event, where we can all get together and dress up as smart as the train will let us.

So I'm announcing an Adult Ballroom Social, set for 1900 hours on the 29th of this month.

I originally just had couples in mind - I know quite a few of us who are paired up - but I don't think we should be leaving anybody out. I'm thinking of setting up blind dates for anybody who wants a partner, and having drinks and snacks set out for anybody who doesn't feel like bringing one.

Anyone who wants to pitch in, or who has any tweaks or improvements they want to make, let me know.

Voting with Kitty on taking the dancing to the cars with the music. [ Aha. ] And alcohol might be a lot cheaper to get if you bulk it. Uh, buying it on short notice is kinda expensive, huh?

But I was chatting with Rol that getting decorations for parties when we want 'em somewhere wouldn't be a bad idea. If you want them for your fancy dance!

[nutkrusher]

Yeah, like one of those casks or barrels of wine or whatever. Or at least one of those boxes.

The plan's flexible based on what we actually have on hand, or when we can get what we don't.

[blitzcheer]

I'll help out with decorations if you're pushing the day back. Depends what you want! Same goes for any equipment we think'd be good.

[nutkrusher]

Yeah, pretty much everything I'm hearing is suggesting I probably should push it back. What do you think? You think the Third would work?

[blitzcheer]

Is the alcohol that important? Guess it lets people buy their own clothes if they want too, but the train selection might not be that bad if you asked it to open up the dressing car.

[ Maybe. Probably. ]

Your dance, your call! The third would let random newbies show up too, if that's their thing.

[nutkrusher]

Yeah, I'm betting the train'll be nice to us with at least a few things. I'm starting to lean toward a pushback, but I'll let everyone know what I decide.

[blitzcheer]

I'll keep an ear out! Good luck with the fancy dance.
