Idea for the Alley Formal
I think this Alley Central blog is really a big hit. I'm just glad the novelty hasn't worn off yet. And I can tell that because that fantastic Alley Formal post had all of thirteen comments! Thanks, Matt, for creating this fine forum of alley life.
Now, for some ideas about the Alley Formal. For those of you who think this is a real "formal" where you go and buy fancy clothes, please don't waste your money at Filene's. What it really is, is an excuse to get friends together and play faux dress-up. So we're talking the cotton tuxedo t-shirts, old prom dresses with some questionable stains on them, things of that nature. Bottom line, it's not REALLY fancy.
So after discussion with some alley-dwellers, we thought it might be nice if everyone who showed up would bring a bottle of wine (boxes and jugs will do, as well). One alley visitor even suggested Boone's or Two-Buck Chuck. Just as long as everyone realizes that this ain't gonna be very fancy. And we're also thinking around 3 p.m. or so (I think the Evite says 5; you can show up then, too).
A quick recap: Alley. Faux-fancy attire. Cheap wine. Good times.

I don't think post position is an issue. The interested scroll.
What?! The interweb scrolls? SWEEET!!!
Erin, instead of us all getting tuxedo t-shirts, we should pool our money and just buy one 7XL tuxedo t-shirt we can use as a tuxedo tent out in the alley.
Tuxedo tent would be cool, but would the tuxedo be on the outside and the tag on the inside, or vice versa? And I'm still excited about getting an outdoor fireplace. And about wearing my smelly fur coat. It's okay, you can blow cigarette smoke on it. Go ahead.
