Okay, people, people, listen up! This thread is mainly to solicit ideas for a multi-post thread. I only have the poll up there because I'm gonna use it as a fall-back if no one has a better idea.

Tell me your thoughts! What shall be the event that spawns a multi-post thread?

The first of May isn't really that big of a deal, is it? No fun if we can't have lotsa goings-on. Regiment COULD be fun, but it could be too much... Mary Sue inspired crap, too...

Play at the theatre is a good option, since working class people could help out and rich people could go.

St. Charles Day was originally my idea, but as Mjinga pointed out, it is too short a time after the Easter Ball, isn't it?

I love the gypsy idea, a carnival/festival/marketplace with lots of life and stuff going on. The rich would want to see, but not perhaps get too involved. The poor and the working class would have the privileges here, as opposed to the Easter Ball. We should have something for everyone now and then.

I dunno. Give us some of your thoughts. Or any other ideas you might have in addition to ours.

Well, I just put May Day in because it used to be a pagan holiday, but got sort of Christianised by this time. But they still have all the connections to the old holiday, and they spend time dancing (in public, about a may pole) and suchlike, with very raccous and bawdy parties, and of course there's the May Queen that has to be crowned, and yeah. It's kind of a very festival-ish day.

Ooo, okay, sounds much cooler when you say it that way. I did not know that.

Anyone? Any opinions at all? If you don't answer here, we'll make a decision and then you're not allowed to complain, just so you know it. ;)

Gypsies for the win :)

I like the gypsy festival thingy and the theater. :explode:

teehee.

Gypsies is a fun idea.
