The Frequently Offered Answers
for the LOJ Masquerade Ball
Costumes
| Question: |
Are there restrictions
on the kinds of costume that I can wear?
|
| Answer: |
The LoJ is a classical fantasy masquerade
with modern influences. Be elaborate, be imaginative
and be different. Delve deep into the genre of Fantasy,
Medieval, Victorian, Goblin, Carnival, Celtic and Faerie
lore. As one of the most prominent Masquerades in North
America, our themes blend Venetian Elegance with the
Ilustrious realms of the Faerie Court. We relish this
diversity. Imagination is encouraged and costumes are
mandatory.
At bare minimum you must have formal wear and a Mask.
(It is a MASQUERADE). If you have a question about your
costume, it's always best to CONTACT
us and ask online. |
Some great resources
for costumes can be found
on our Links area.
PRE-SHOW
| Question: |
Is there going to
be a Pre-Show Dinner?
|
| Answer: |
The LOJ PreShow is a
chance to meet the creators of the LOJ and enjoy the
night with a different pace. VERY FEW tickets are available
for the PRE-SHOW dinner each night and we offer those
tickets for sale in March. They normally sell out within
a few hours, so keep an eye on the website and check
the mailing list for more information. |
| Question: |
Should I wear my costume
to the Pre-Show?
|
| Answer: |
Yes, as the Pre-Show
dinner is only 1 hour before the show, you should definately
bring your costume. |
PHOTOGRAPHY
| Question: |
Are Cameras allowed
in the Masquerade?
|
| Answer: |
Absolutely. |
| Question: |
If I have pictures
from a past LOJ, can I submit them to the website?
|
| Answer: |
YES! If you have photos
from our events, please email us and we'll be glad to
see them and perhaps use them on the website.
Email them to LoJ@labyrinthmasquerade.com |
LOJ Questions
| Question: |
I'm interested in
being a part of LOJ, not just a spectator. Where do
I offer my sword, hands or wings?
|
| Answer: |
LOJ is built by an army
of volunteer artists that dedicate their work and efforts
to create this one night of dreams. If you think you'd
fit in our ranks,
Send us a missive and tell us a little about
yourself and what your think you'd be good at.

| Question: |
Is it true that Strider
is sleep deprived and completely lost in elftouched
insanities ?
|
| Answer: |
Sleep is an overrated
form of rejuvenation, especially when you have aspirations
like these plaguing your nights. . . but he's mapped
these realms fairly diligently, so we hardly consider
him lost. As the Lord of the Court and Host of the Masquerade,
we'll have to let him catch up on his sleep sometime
in August, after LOJ. |
