    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 outerspace western. Bangers & Mash, that shiniest of bands in the 'verse, plays an evening of 19th century dances and neo-19th century dance reconstructions in keeping with the evening's theme. Dance waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, schottisches, Celtic and Neo-Celtic reels and contradances, and other popular couple and set dances of the future. including such perennial space traveller's favorites as the Blue Danube Waltz, the Congress of Vienna, and Sir Roger de Coverley. As usual, partners are not necessary and all pattern dances will be briefly taught or called at the ball. We will also have D.J. dance music of a more popular style at intermission. Western, 19th or neo-19th century costume, or science fiction/fantasy costume from any universes is admired, not required and creative blending of past and future styles is always encouraged. Modern evening dress of the 21st century is also perfectly acceptable and there is no real dress code for the evening. A light buffet of Neo-Western snacks will be served to keep our strength up during this active evening. Given local food shortages, your potluck contributions are appreciated!
