I know what I am doing next year in October
"The Right Noble Company of Clothiers invites one and all to attend the Black Rose Ball on the 16th of October, 2010. The theme for this year's ball is 'The Field of Cloth of Gold' a historical meeting that took place in 1520 between King Henry VIII and King Francis I. The ball will be held in the Barony of Lyondemere and we will announce the location soon. You won't want to miss it!"
This is almost tailor made for my time period and skills! Not to mention I will already have a kickass gown by that point, although my kickass gown will actually be from about 20 years later, but I can mod things ... maybe. Oh, this gives me even more incentive to do that whole outfit, not like I don't need the incentive.
I just have to figure out how to celebrate my daughter's birthday properly, since her birthday is the day after next year. Maybe we can do Disneyland or something suitable.
