(This is a copy to the list of a response I sent to a query sent to me
this morning. Others may be interested as well ...)

>What exactly are you supposed to wear to these evetns? I assume
>it's ok to go dressed to these, right? If so, which ones are ok?
>Any suggestions woul be appreciated.

You're welcome to join us either in boymode or girlmode, or different
modes at different times if you like, depending on your style and your
comfort level.

If you will be girlmode, I would suggest that for most of the mainstream
(general public) venues, you dress similarly to the way most of the
other women (GG's and TG's of your age and size will be wearing. Yes,
if you wanna put on the dog, there will be opportunities to do so.

>Will there be anyplace to change?

Since we're a vacation and not a convention, we won't have any common
facilities, and most of the places we'll be going to will not have
places to change.

Here's a run-down of the activities I've been working on. Not complete
at this time, but ...

+ 6:30pm: Dinner (Hard Rock Cafe)

Anything casual to moderately dressy will be fine. Most of the people
(us and others) will be casual for this.

+ 9:30pm: Hunters Dance Club

I've never been to Hunters, but here's a cut-paste of my query on line
to one of the Hunters regulars regarding this one:

  dionysia: what would you say the dress guidelines are, i just got a
  question in e-mail about dress and i'm making up a list of suggestions
  for various places

  Robbi: Most of the girls dress nicely.. Not a formal place, a nice
  pretty dress would work, or nice pants outfit...

  dionysia: i take it that clubwear would be ok, right?

  Robbi: Yes...some gals are flashy... of course...

  Sharly: how about jeans and s sweater?

  Robbi: That would be nice I think... just look pretty...

+ 7:00pm: Dinner at Ed's, retro dress encouraged

Ed's is a "retro" diner with a 50's-60's motif. About anything from
casual to moderately dressy, either current or retro, would be fine. I
would not suggest any non-retro flashy/slutty/fetish outfits for Ed's.

+ 9:30pm: Gentry on State, Rudy's show

Just about anything. Casual to dressy, even formal, retro would be fine,
clubwear that is not too extreme would be fine too. My hunch is that
most of the Pinkfest people will be casual for this.

+ Eve: Dinner, somewhere Boystown area

I'm presuming AS's will be the restaurant of choice here. Anything from
casual to dressy, boymode or girlmode. You should probably avoid any
far-out clubwear or slutty/fetish outfits for dinner, but ...

    later: Boystown bars

About anything. Keep in mind that some walking will most likely be
involved, so wear shoes you can walk in.
