The Winter Ball will feature wintery decorations, DJs playing your favorite danceable anime/video game tunes as well as great classic, pop, rock, big band, lounge, and jazz music. A special website set-up to take any song suggestions you might have is in the works. There will also be an on-site photographer, light hors d'oeuvres, and a coat check will be available free of charge.

Because the event is classified as 'Semi-formal', we request that all attendees observe common etiquette rules regarding semi-formal attire. Tuxedos and long dresses are not required, but are not restricted either. No jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, etc. will be allowed. Costumes are welcome, so long as they conform to standard semi-formal attire requirements. Kimonos are welcome as well.

The ball was a smashing success. 97 paid attendees plus 20 more (Staff and their dates). And it's worth mentioning, females outnumbered the males ^_^. We'll have photos up as soon as they're ready. But to hold you over...the Official Cosplayers on Ice photos are now online: http://public.fotki.com/FrameShot/conve ... -ice-2008/
