THE SPACE COWBOYS’ BALL
Saturday, September 5, 2009
Masonic Lodge of San Mateo Ballroom
100 N. Ellsworth Avenue (at the corner of Ellsworth & Tilton)
San Mateo , CA 94401
Doors Open: 6:45pm
Dance Lesson: 7:00 pm
Formal Dancing begins at 8:00pm
Band: Bangers & Mash
Tickets: $15.00 in advance (by Tuesday, August 29)
Tickets at the Door: $20.00
Ball Website: www.peers.org/space.html
Join us at this science fiction shindig for a rip-roaring, swashbuckling evening of music, dancing, and optional role-playing at our serene tribute to our favorite outer space western.
Bangers & Mash, that shiniest of bands in the ‘verse, whom some of you may remember from the Browncoats’ Ball in San Francisco, plans an evening of 19th century and Neo-19th century social dances: We will dance waltzes, polkas, mazurka waltzes, schottisches, elegant country dances, rousing contradances, and haunting Celtic and Neo-Celtic reels (If you don’t know them, don’t worry: All pattern dances will be briefly taught or called at the ball!). The band will also play such perennial space travelers’ favorites as “The Blue Danube Waltz,” “The Congress of Vienna Waltz,” “Sir Roger de Coverley,” and “Inara’s Waltz Cotillion.”
Western, 19th century or neo-19th century, Civil War or Post-Civil War costume or science fiction/fantasy costume from any universe if admired, but not required, and creative blending of past and future fashions is also encouraged. Just now, Old West, Chinese, and Indian motifs are fashionable and, of course, Browncoats are extremely welcome. We don’t care what you wear, ‘long as it’s legal.
There will be a no-host bar (that means you pay for your own drinks, pardner!), soft drinks for sale for temperance folk and minors, and a complimentary light buffet of Neo-Western snacks. Given local food shortages, your potluck contributions to the buffet are appreciated.
