So, bad news but not horrible — the ball at Vaux-le-Vicomte has been cancelled. This is what I get, karma-wise, for trying to so something this fabulous without Trystan and Sarah! Apparently they didn’t sell enough tickets (not well advertised, price was really high, start time really late). I’m disappointed but not traumatized, as my first thought when I heard something had gone wrong was that the whole thing (ie the Sunday Journee costume event) had been moved to another date and/or cancelled, so I was initially relieved that at least Sunday was still on. But, now we’ve found out that we’re still going to get to do the costumed dinner, and there will be some kind of evening entertainment, and apparently they light the chateau with candles at night, so who cares, we’ll have fun! I put away the polonaise thinking I’d only need one costume and pulled some of the trim off my hat to re-trim it to match the francaise — now I need to pull the polonaise back out, and put the original trim back on! Such is life.
In other news… I leave Friday! EEK! I am busy getting organized and will start packing today. EEP! EEK!
Didn’t sell enough tickets? Gah, barbarians. I could have PRed it. Of course, then I would be *going*.
I’ll miss you!!!!!
Who are these people who are NOT buying tickets to such a fabulous event?!
