Baseball Babe
Friday — Cubs Game
Jerseys and hats are covered, I have one for each of you. Wear whatever you want with them. Nine innings and a bar crawl, so pick comfort.
✈
Aviation Glam
Saturday Afternoon — Trolley
Jumpsuits, flight suits, aviators, scarves. The more creative the better. Nothing aviation in your closet? Do not buy a thing. I have piles of props and hats here for everyone.
♪
DJ Dancing
Saturday Night — Vandelux
Wear what you want. No theme, no rules. Change at the house after the trolley into whatever you can dance your heart out in.
Disco brunch is off, the venue closed, so leave the sequins home unless you want them for Saturday night. Everything else: shoes you can walk and dance in. Tables need to be danced on. Scenes need to be fled at any moment. No man left behind.
