    This event celebrates both Oktoberfest and the advance of science with waltzes and polkas, good cheer, and good food and drink! Suggested costume is formal 19th century, traditional Oktoberfest (dirndls, peasant blouses, lederhosen, etc.), or Victorian Steampunk attire.

    What is Steampunk? Imagine the Victorians with High Technology -- steam-powered airships and horseless carriages, computers (analytical engines), and high-speed communication. And, picture fashions that not only glorify the corset but can be swiftly altered for action.

    Bangers & Mash plays an evening of popular 19th century waltzes, mazurka waltzes, schottisches, polkas, and set dances (all set dances will be briefly taught and called). For those wanting to brush up on their 19th century dancing, there will be a pre-ball workshop in Survival Polka, whirling rotary waltz, and mazurka waltz.

    There will be a no-host (cash) bar offering the finest in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a German-style light snack buffet (your potluck contributions to the buffet will be most welcome).
