A Grand Day Out

A Victorian-Edwardian-Steampunk-Chappist Picnic in the Park

This is an open call to all Victoriamaniacs, Edwardiots, Chaps, Chapettes, and yes -even Steampunks in the area. The theme is simply a Grand Day Out from the Asylum, meaning that we will be assuming the role of mental patients from the period, in varying degrees of depravity (but that is no excuse not to dress for the occassion, of course). We also have room for those wishing to attend as hospital staff or constable from your preferred period. (Butterfly nets are an appropriate accessory.) As this is a no-fee unsanctioned event, you are responsible to bring your own picnic lunch and appropriate lawn games, if desired. The event will run until the coming of general darkness, which should be about 4 PM this time of year.

We will meet in the general vicinity of the Seymour Botanical Conservatory at 11 AM, which by some coincidence, will be holding its annual Victorian Christmas event at the same time.

Attendance is FREE (as this is essentially a familiy picnic, after all), and there will be PRIZES in many categories (some of which are posted at http://vmsde.xanga.com)

I shall be there!

by NineInchNachos
on 12/4/2010 @ 8:33am		I have made a fur hat tall enough to hide a badger inside

by The Jinxmedic
on 12/4/2010 @ 7:50pm		It seems that you may have been able to conceal several badgers inside that hat. Good show, sir!

on 12/6/2010 @ 12:02pm		Aye, really sorry I was unable to attend.
I rather dislike it when my schedule gets changed...

But just by looking at these pictures, it seems this NEEDS to become an annual event. Seriously.
