Congress of Vienna Ball

[lastbloom]

BAERS is hosting a ball next weekend in the Bay Area.

CONGRESS OF VIENNA BALL

Please join the crowned heads of Europe, ambassadors, military heroes, and the most influential lords and ladies from the allied countries who have just defeated the Vile Corsican. This is the opening celebration for the greatest Peace Conference in history so come partake of a little intrigue, a bit of influence peddling, a dollop of regime change, and perhaps a soupçon of romance…..

Games of chance, lively conversation and the hospitality of the imperial court (gifts of comestibles are appreciated).

Special: Guests are invited to a waltz workshop at 7:00 so that they may learn and practice that enchanting Viennese invention, and learn the figures for our signature dance, The Congress of Vienna.
Costumes admired but not required. Dance partners not required and dances are taught at the ball.


Saturday, October 9, 201052 Arlington Avenue, Kensington, CA
Doors open 6:45 pm; Waltz Workshop 7:00; Dancing at 8:00

No need to apologize; we have been rather amiss in posting these lately.

Thank you for doing it.

I shall be there! I will be traveling a great distance, but I shall be there.

Oh, tragedy! Lady Egg and myself will also be travelling that week, and so we shall not be able to attend the ball. We deeply regret not having the opportunity to meet you in person, and hope that you will share in your writings your impressions of the event.

How was the ball? I hope everyone had a wonderful time, and that pictures will soon be shared!
