First of all, we were eating in the main hall of the local National Guard
Armory (read gym) and with the huge florescent lights off, the basketball
hoops and the ping pong tables weren't as noticeable.: )
Second, the current prince, who was there thinks that its more "period"
to eat by candlelight that overly bright florescent.
I would rather much eat by florescent myself, as I had to fight with my
two and a half year old so that we wouldn't burn the place down, or him.
: ( As it was, several candles were knocked down by passing platters, but
nothing serious happened. I'm going to bring up the fact we need more
stable candle holders at the next business meeting.
