I am not the organizer of the event, but merely a participant. And being a participant, what's good for the festival is good for me.
If you haven't been to Pirate Fest in the past, this year may be your last chance.
For reasons I wont pretend to fully understand, the woman who began Pirate Festival is having trouble finding a decent location for her store. It seems there is lots of available floor space for rent in the downtown, but for whatever reason, she can't find anything suitable. If she has to close her store, Pirate Fest will close as well.
This would be a shame. I admit when it first began, I thought it was a dumb idea. An entire festival dedicated to Pirates? I've been proven wrong. There were approximately 20,000 visitors last year. That number is expected to increase this year. In fact, anyone who waited till the last minute to reserve a spot in the marina for their boat, may be out of luck. It's beyond full!
I couldn't even begin to describe the event, you'd have to check out the festivals web site at www.portpiratefestival.com .
Why am I promoting it? What else would I do with this:

Hope to see you all there!!

This may sound like a dumb question, but what does one wear to a show at the Milwaukee Theater?
The last "live" show I saw in Milwaukee was a rock concert about 20 yrs ago.
We have tickets for the Lion King this month, and since it's a boring rained/iced/snowed-in day, I figured I'd find something to wear for the show, then I realized I have no idea what is appropriate.
Both my husband and I are generally dressed in jeans and t-shirt. Me for comfort, him because it's really all he owns!
I don't want to show up and look like a slob compared to everyone else, but I also don't want to go too far the other way either.
Any help or advice---much appreciated!!!
