Lunar Earthrise

[cornerofmadness]

Tonight was the Lunar Earthrise (George Melies themed man in the moon) steampunk ball. Actually stuff went on all day but I'm finding it harder and harder to go to the library all day then go to the ball. It's a 12 hour day mostly in the sun.

So I only went to the ball. I had fun. Though it was very poorly attended compared to the ones in the past. Maybe it's petering out or maybe it was just bad timing or something this year. We usually have two dozen or more costume contestants and this year less than a dozen and that was with nearly everyone participating.

As for me I enjoyed the music by a local band, Amethystone and the dance troupe. Apparently put me in a long lacy gown and I'll channel Drusilla's dance moves. It was fun but after two hours of being on the road and three hours of dancing I'm too tired for pictures.

On the way there, my moon necklace broke AGAIN, filling my bra with beads and stones. whee.

Hopefully just bad timing, and things will pick up again next year.

Thanks. I hope so. There was a home OU game and I think a LOT of us are getting to be middle aged and having ALL that stuff at the library and then going to the party is getting to be too much for us

Bummer that it wasn't well attended. I hope you're right about it being bad timing. If it is because everyone is tired after being at the library all day, could they make it a two-day thing? Maybe do the ball the night before? Or shorten the earlier portion of the day?

That's a good question. Because I'm an hour away I don't get in on the planning. We also have a choral thing the day before. It might need to be a shorter program at the library I think
