Themed weekends for 2010

The running of the bulls is kinda interesting 

As I recall, last year it was done, by the Duke d' Cadiz and his croneys, complete with Pinatas.  I believe Mad Juana was there and had a bull's head and horns anchored on her bodice, and a tail/rump on her derriere....

Since we have such a large Gypsy presence, why don't we have a Gypsy weekend?

...or would that turn into bellydance weekend to the exclusion of true Romany elements?

I like the themes Scarby chose. They're broad enough that they allow lee-way for creativity. What was not magical about having ALL the Flaming Idiots back for the first time in nearly 20 years?

Chivalry Weekend embodies what many mundanes think of when they think of renaissance. Remember, we were all mundane once. That's what drew us in.

Hmmm... probably the latter, or many people turning up in colors that aren't right for gypsies.  Like Red... which most people do not realize is considered to be reserved ONLY for weddings, being the color of (blood).  Some things the Roma just do not talk about.  I am still learning!   It's much more difficult to BE a gypsy than just putting on the clothing!

Hmmm.. Romani Days and Arabian Nights/Knights... Wonder where THAT would go?

Neither are the Grimm Fairy Tales!  Which is why in Extravaganza we have to alter them a bit... Read the originals!  Whew!
