7th Anniversary of The League – A Day by the Sea
July 9, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Free
Join the Dr. and your fellow villains as we recreate the strange seaside practices of the Victorians and Edwardians.
The Victorians were a strange lot. They would wear wool and many layers to the beach. It’s a wonder they didn’t all drown. This is the height of summer and you may want to use the pool or just dangle your feet in the water so wear something you don’t mind getting wet. The costume theme is Victorian and Edwardian bathing attire and there will be awards for the most fun outfits. There are links below to more information about appropriate attire and where to find it. So in proper steampunk style, locate or make an actual Victorian or Edwardian bathing costume and we’ll all look silly together while we share in an afternoon potluck and lounge about in cumbersome garments by the pool.
You may arrive at the lab anytime after 2 PM. We will plan the meal for 6 PM and you may stay on into the evening or until the last attendee has sunk to the bottom of the pool from wearing too much wool. A grill is available – hot dogs and chicken/turkey dogs will be provided, please bring anything else you’d like to grill and something to share. Please bring drinks also -we’ll provide water and sodas and some adult libations. Instructions on how to navigate to ‘The lab’ will be sent to all who RSVP. The general location is near Madison and I-80 in Sacramento.
This event is held at a private residence. As a first for us, you must RSVP to the event through this page on the LOPV website – Not on Facebook! So if you don’t have a login here, make one and then you can RSVP to the party. Location details and further information will only be given to those who RSVP here. Space is limited so please sign up right away, and enjoy the rest of the site and leave your comments in the forums.
