* Contra dance: David Silber
* ORDNANCE & Mr Pet: DJ Pet
* Period dance: Jesse Wertheimer
* Time Traveler's Ball: Paul Aldred

Doesn't that sound fantastic? The biggest problem will be figuring out how to choose between so many awesome things, some of which are bound to be happening at once!

majes (and jasra), you guys rock. So much. Thanks for making events happen in an organized fashion this year!

(Please note: the org chart lists the organizer or contact person of each event, which is not necessarily the same as the performer(s) in question.)

Huzzah, I get to hear Sassafras again!

...I went all the way to Montreal and met them, and they live a town away from me!

looking forward to the shadowcasts!

I actually didn't catch any of them last year, though I did see Buffy and Dr. Horrible in '09. Is this the same cast?

The company of players doing the shadowcasts for Buffy & Dr. Horrible might be the same, but I'm willing to bet that some of the players are doing different roles this year than they were two years ago, if Teseracte did the shows two years ago. (I can't actually tell you definitively, however, since the org charts are listed by individuals in 2009 and by company this year.)

I was (a) lazy, (b) late (this was due last night, (c) lacking details. :)

Contra dance is iffy.

Which reminds me: I'll be running the "period" (where period == Renaissance, somewhat loosely defined) dance, and I encourage everybody to come play! We have a good lineup of fun, reasonably easy dances, ranging from moderately sedate to pretty high-energy, so I expect the whole thing to be a hoot.

Medieval/Renaissance/whatever garb encouraged if you have it, but not required. Wear comfortable shoes. Mostly, come have fun...

VISUAL KEI PARTY / SUNDAY

OOPS. you forgot to post:

VISUAL KEI PARTY
Sunday 8pm to 10pm

It's a bit of music, and a bit of dance, and a lot of showing yourself off in the Visual Kei. What is Visual Kei? There's an Introduction to VK Panel on Saturday.

What would you wear? Think "Lady Gaga". Think "Myagi". Think "Sweet Dreams are made of This". Think "The White Queen". Think "I have a fabulous outfit I never have a chance to wear anywhere!" NOW YOU DO!!!
