OK. Someone I *don't* know but that is within a reasonably driveable distance just came up with an amazing event 2 months out. Of course right as I found out about it, a tree hit my house, my car hit a stupid driver, I have doctor visits, and I'm buying a house. So. Lots of money going out. And I may be fairly busy with the new house (if I get it) around the time the event is. BUT... The price for the event isn't terrible, the guest list and entertainment looks interesting, and it is only 4-5 hours if you stay till the lights come on.
There's a quote "you have to leap and build your wings on the way down." And a mentor once said "you're never going to have the time, so you might as well do it now." So I've signed up for it. We'll see what new and exciting way my life goes sideways between now and then, but in the mean time, I'm researching what to wear based on the theme and dress code: Garden of the Divine--"...attire that is inspired by ancient gods, goddesses, and creatures..." And I'm gonna tell you, from my research on classical and neoclassical art and sculpture, your Greek Gods and heroes tended to wear considerably less than your Goddesses and heroines.
Hell, it's almost a complete reversal of modern Western fantasy tropes: The girls run around fully dressed while the guys are in boots, a helmet, sword, and cape. The best known statue of Theseus, most of the photos are taken from an angle where his sword obscures his...sword. :/
