Come join MNSOC in celebrating the holidays, Steampunk style!
Event: A Steampunk Christmas Carol/Fezziwig’s Party!
Date: Dec. 3, 2011
Time: 6-10pm
Location: The Outing Lodge
“Every movable was packed off, as if it were dismissed from public life for evermore; the floor was swept and watered, the lamps were trimmed, fuel was heaped upon the fire; and the warehouse was as snug, and warm, and dry, and bright a ball-room, as you would desire to see upon a winter’s night… There were more dances, and there were forfeits, and more dances, and there was cake, and there was toddy, and there was a great piece of Cold Roast, and there was a great piece of Cold Boiled, and there were mince-pies, and plenty of beer… When the clock struck eleven, this domestic ball broke up. Mr and Mrs Fezziwig took their stations, one on either side of the door, and shaking hands with every person individually as he or she went out, wished him or her a Merry Christmas.“
-Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol.”
Hosts: Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig request your presence at their annual Holiday Party!
Attire: Your best Victorian, Steampunk, Lolita, Gothic, Air Pirate, etc. clothing is admired but not required.
