Masque Up Bash

Our get togethers earlier this year were successful in getting a few friends together in a safe and social way.

Hoping my masque is totally unique (since I made it).

This month Charlie and I and Sug are planning a party at the end of the month keeping in mind that everyone has been masked for over a year now. (Last month I fashioned a unique masque for myself with the thought that we might have a party.)

My Avatar masked.

We are sending out an invitation by email that features my avatar in a surgical mask which (by the magic of the computer) has been moved up to disguise the upper part of my face.  So we’re asking invitees to come masked in some unique way.

The writing on the photo says: You’ve been masking for over a year, now let’s masque up. I mean move the mask from your mouth, cut a couple of eyeholes, and mask the top of your face. Get it?
Anything from scary to superhero to sublime.

The email says:  On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.

We’re masquing on
Saturday October,  2021 at The Glade
RSVP to Jo
If the weather cooperates, we’ll gather around the fire pit.
Prepare a short scary story or joke to tell around the campfire.
We look forward to seeing you (and perhaps mistaking you for someone else),
Charlie and Jo

We’re hoping the weather will cooperate so we can gather outdoors.

Notice that the orange writing asks the invitee to prepare a story or joke in addition to wearing a mask.  My experience is that when participants prepare in advance for an event they come ready to party!!
