Awesome comic and looks like an interesting event; wish you the best of luck. Again, working SE and a 5:30 start time... makes Paul something something. GO CRAZY!? Well no, but it makes me absent. :(

The phrase "with bells on" seems to have first appeared in this sense in the early 20th century, and there are two theories about the bells. One is that the reference is to the costume of a court jester, including a fool's cap festooned with bells, thus perhaps alluding to the speaker's intention to appear "dressed to the nines" and ready to boogie. The other theory harks back to the days of horse-drawn carriages, when on special occasions the horse's harness might be decorated with festive bells.
