Garb:Re: [Steppes] Populace

[jspinks@ix.netcom.com]

Works out either way since some folks will be in garb- (which is often more normal looking and elegant than some "Prom" dresses and other mundane wear- <have you looked at the cool teenagers lately?>) and some will be in mundane clothing.  Folks see both types of clothing mingling together and ultimately feel more comfortable in checking out our hobby.  For what it is worth I would encourage folks to wear what is comfortable or practical- Mundane or Garb.  Just leave the knives and such at home.  Hmmm. Maybe I can leave early and change.

I hate to rain on the "freak the mundanes" parade, but was the restaurant told
that some meeting attendees would be dressed strangely?  If not, I believe that
regular street clothes would be preferable.  They might not appreciate us
scaring off their more regular (in more than one sense) customers.
