Anyone ever have one , would n't it be great picture it a guy dress as santa on the box, wonder woman on the fiddle and fred flintstone on the bodhran.
A friend of mine told me about a session where everyone dressed up as tune names! A friend of hers was there. A woman had cotton balls and such all over her for Miss McLeods, etc. Imagine how much fun you could have with some the tune names out there, like strike the gay harp! :D
Once or twice a year we all get together and have a nude session here in SF. I have some snaps of when a bunch of drunken Irish gals were over on holiday. These are my favorites... make sure your kids aren't in the room when you look at them.
Spiderman plucks a web-like harp... (Saint's harp is heavenly, however)
Harry Potter's wand doubles as a pennywhistle
Sherlock Holms & Albert Einstein both play a mean fiddle....
Round our way, wearing fancy dress just means wearing something that's fairly clean (as in doesn't smell too bad) and hasn't got too many holes (as in you can still tell what it's meant to be). Teeth are optional.
PB - you're killing me; I'm going to have to go take a cold shower (until that clothing optional music camp in Medocino starts up - then it'll be hot showers, to warm up in the fog).
One thing I like about ITM is the informality; t-shirts and jeans being the norm, or whatever. Even with bands on stage.
The only dress code in any office I've worked in was no holes larger than a (US) quarter.

Re: Fancy Dress session
Fancy dress for us is when we arrive without the Aran jumpers!

Years ago a (non-folkie) acquaintance described to me how Cathal McConnell made his entrance to a Boys Of The Lough gig wearing a pair of antlers.

Me too! I looked it up! Nothing there!
Of course, my motive was to examine and classify the tattoos, to further the progress of an anthropological treatise.

A young lady turned up at a local session wearing nothing but long black boots and long black gloves.
She said she was the five of spades.

Ok ok... sorry about the gag. Here's a link to the actual photos I was talking about... but you do have to be over 18 to look at them.
