Speakeasy at Loscon

[hazelchaz]

When Tom Pendergast controlled Kansas City (Missouri), Prohibition was something that happened to other towns. In support of Kansas City's Worldcon ambitions, we are running a speakeasy at Loscon on Saturday night, 2011-11-26. The password is Goats, although if the bouncer is in a good mood other passwords may be accepted. As the proprietor I plan to be dressed the part - bow tie, suspenders, vest, all Boardwalk Empire if you will. Expect to find jazzy music, flappers, food on sticks, and "tea" & "lemonade" served in teacups.

The year is 1924. The name of the place is Pendergast Cafe.

"Swordfish."

Yes, I expect to get a lot of Swordfish that night.

If I had a big enough suite, I could have GOATS send people into one party and SWORDFISH into another one...

Hey, thanks for posting -- I have the perfect dress for it, but I'll have to bring it with me from Cambridge. :-)

Cambridge

Does that mean we'll see you this year, even though HARVARD! ?

For what it's worth, my Friday night party is in support of New Orleans 2018.

Yes, we'll be hosting the same suite on the party floor. Hopefully this year, no food poisoning! I'll be flying back to school Sunday evening.

I so wish I could be there, it's going to be a great party! And many thanks!

I'm especially hoping to get flyers and posters I can print out... and to make it clear that this is going to be an annual party, so you should plan your Thanksgiving 2012 trip now.
