    This science fiction shindig promises a rip-roaring, swashbuckling evening of music, dancing and optional role-playing. Bangers & Mash will play an evening of 19th century and Neo-19th century social dances: There will be waltzes, polkas, mazurka waltzes, schottisches, elegant country dances, rousing contradances, and haunting Celtic and Neo-Celtic reels. 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 is admired, but not required, and creative blending of past and future fashions is also encouraged.

    There will be a no-host bar, soft drinks for sale, and a complimentary light buffet of Neo-Western snacks. Given local food shortages on this here planet, your potluck contributions to the buffet are much appreciated, y'all.
