What to wear to the Open House?

[Psycho Ward]

I only ask because a few of you, hell make that ALL of you have concerns about my wardrobe or lack there of.

I have already promised to wear clothes, but that covers a lot of territory (not a fat joke).
Right now I’m wearing a t-shirt and worn-out shorts covered in Barbie pink paint, (I’m painting my daughters room), and I don’t think would be cool.

So I’m open to suggestions, I want to “fit in”. What is “in” in the bass player fashion world?









I’m getting really jazzed about this trip and ever since the cutoff date I’ve been lying to all my friends when they ask how I get to go. My favorite story has been that I’m a personal friend of Big Poppa and we met in a Mexican prison, then escaped and went to South America because we bought a cheap compass that pointed the wrong way…

I'm going with jeans, boots, and a cowboy shirt Friday night. Sub t-shirt for cowboy shirt Saturday.

This is an excerpt from the info that Blair sent to me:

Appropriate Attire:
Friday night is at a Country Club…Please wear appropriate clothing, preferably something other than jeans.

Saturday at the Factory I recommend jeans and a t-shirt; you MUST wear closed toed shoes (tennis shoes/sneakers are ideal).

Saturday night at the Madonna Inn Expo you can wear whatever you would like. It does get cold at night so I recommend bring a jacket/sweater of some sort.

I flung that quote up, too, to which BP responded that apparently Blair wasn't there for the BP take on country club attire. He told the CC people that it was a combination cowboy/Big Chill costume party or something like that.

So, final word - it isn't necessary to dress like an accountant.

Crap, that was my next choice after bib overalls and a pork pie hat.


Toga and cowboy boots?

Toga and cowboy boots?

Well, that would certainly make the rest of us experience the "big chill" part of the theme.

Mobay, Blair posted a new thread this morning in the Ernie Ball Special Events section. It has updated wardrobe cues.

 

[Psycho Ward]

I usually wear a suit and tie when I'm working, mowing the yard, cleaning the pool and so on.

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

Yes, but that's your birthday suit, no?

 

[Adwex]

All kidding aside for a sec......How about black Levi's and a golf/polo type shirt? I work in an office and this is pretty much how I dress every day.

I'm bringing a small suitcase so I don't have to deal with baggage check, so I won't have room for alternate outfits in case I get it wrong. I also won't have time to change Friday as i'm arriving at 5:00, so what I wear on the plane is what I wear to the shindig.

Are black (unfaded) jeans acceptable?

[bovinehost]

Jeans are fine! Black, blue, faded, unfaded, designer, Kmart brand, Tommy Stinkfinger, jeans are okay!

 

[Psycho Ward]

Chaps and no pants?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Just say "NO" to assless chaps.....

 

[Father Gino]

No, No, No!!! You've all got to wear matching pink tuxedos with black velvet collars and a handsome rendition of a Bongo emroidered on the back. BP will supply them upon your arrival.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Now we're talking!

 

[SteveB]

Maybe all the people who are planning to play at the jam should look into matching gold, shiny "Sha-Na-Na" outfits?

 

[Mobay45]

I'm bringing a wife. That means we'll have a big suitcase. It also means that I probably won't be wearing jeans Friday night. No big deal. Black slacks, nice shirt.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Bringing the wife in a suitcase!!!

Hell, why not Elvis' Gold Lamei (Lamay, Le Mae...whatever)?

 

[bovinehost]

I'm thinking of wearing my cape.

 

[Psycho Ward]

James Brown or Batman?
