2008 Edwardian Ball Weekend

Highlights (for me):
-Edwardian World's Faire--I'm most attracted to the Kinetic Steam Works exhibit

-Edward Gorey/Edwardian costume ball--My friend Brad describes it thusly: "Imagine

Oooooh! Me me! I want to join you! Pick me!
This will, of course, involve magically transporting myself across the country, but that Gorey ball sounds worth it. Is it possible to fly on wings of eyeliner?

If it's not possible, it certainly should be. There is the steampunk exhibit--that should make such travel easier, right? Right? *looks really hopeful* Delicious flying machines that run on eyeliner and old-fashioned facial hair would totally fit in there.

Speaking of curled mustaches, mutton chops, and other such facial art: I thought of you every week at Dickens Fair as the men there do these things quite well. Well, that was hardly the only thing at Dickens that made me think of you (and Maggie among others), but it was one of the most reliable. Also, such historical facial hair has grown on me considerably since the start of Dickens workshops in November.

As for the transport problem, this is a yearly event. You could plan to come next year instead, giving you time to save money for more boring means of transport.

I want you to come too. (Money and reality are silly.) If the magic works out, let me know.
