hazelchazPacked the cars. The Costume Repair Station kit and four cases of chibi water are in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
missmea's car, library_lynn has a half-full vehicle, and of course Licorice is full to the rafters.
We have two completely different parties to host Friday and Saturday. We're representing the proto-bids for New Orleans in 2018 and Kansas City in 2016. The food will be completely different, and you can tell which party you're at by whether you're looking at red beans and ice, or something on a stick. The decorations will change over, although both of them basically boil down to hanging up fabric on the walls.
The music should help set the stage, as the Saturday night party is a blast back to the 20s in our Speakeasy party, while the New Orleans party will have music from a wider span of time.
And the drinks -- frozen margaritas and other drinks like that, basically we have pitchers of stuff to pour over crushed ice (snow) on New Orleans night, then on Saturday night it's cocktails in teacups.
We're also trying to differentiate the non-alcoholic sodas -- so Friday is mostly a large range of fruit-flavor thing, then Saturday we just have classic sodas like Coca-Cola, root beer, ginger ale and cream soda.
We're also taking advantage of the fact that we have a two-room suite, and routing people through the "1728" end on the second night and using "1726" as an exit.
I'm hoping we end up being the hopping happening place both nights. We'll see. I'll try to take lots of pictures.
