Speakeasy Party at Baycon 2013-05-26

[hazelchaz]

My friends and I are hosting a room party Sunday night at Baycon this Memorial Day weekend, with a "Speakeasy" theme. It's to support the KC in 2016 Worldcon Bid.

Are you going to be at this convention? Why not put on your '20s or '30s outfits and join us! If you're looking for inspiration, anything from Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey or The Great Gatsby will do fine.

We'll have food on sticks, and "tea" & "lemonade" drinks in teacups. Enjoy a gin and tonic, or a whisky and soda in a teacup. (We'll even serve you actual tea, or lemonade lemonade if you're not imbibing.)

The password is GOATS.

The year is 1926. The name of the place: Pendergast Cafe.

Could we get an "Arnold Palmer" if we so desired?

[hazelchaz]

Yes. We'll have iced tea and lemonade available. We'll also have a small selection of bottled sodas.

No, I meant "Arnold Palmer" in the sense that you are serving "tea" and "lemonade." :)

[hazelchaz]

Oh. I'm not sure what I'd put in a quote-arnold-palmer-unquote. But if you let me know the recipe, I'll try to bring the ingredients!

While I won't be at Baycon*, I was thinking of keeping it simple when I made my first comment. Mixing together your "tea" and "lemonade" in equal amounts. Or would that be a rather ghastly combination?



*Which is a pity, because it sounds like you're going to have an interesting party. Are you going to have an "Eliot Ness" make an appearance?
