Holiday Ball Dec 31 noon PST

[awdz]

The Scions will be hosting a holiday ball on Saturday, December 31 starting at noon Pacific time (3 pm EST, 2 pm CST, 1 pm MST) at Scion's Rest (Roguar Understone's plot). To get there, port to Pelli on Shepherd's Island and jump off the cliff, then down one more (shorter) jump and it's next to the portal.

Roguar of course has ale and food will be served from his tavern. Dancing will be most likely in the t3 guildhouse, though visitors are welcome to enjoy his fountain, gazebo, holiday trees, dwarven house and other structuresas well.

Dress clothes are requested as this is a formal occasion, nota hunt or crafting. Dancing withpartner(s)is not required but a challenge open to any who wish to try.

All are welcome to attend, and very happy holidays to all!!!

[Levity]

I might be able to come to the start of that, woot. (( But by around 5 pm EST I need to head off to the party I attend every year, it's a costume theme (this year is "Musicals" and I am still trying to come up with an idea, though a tango dress to do the Cell Block Tango from Chicago seems doable). ))

Great idea, Awdz. I'll practice my Vielo dance moves ... ;)
