Whether you're celebrating the glass half empty ("beware the Ides fo March") or glass half full (Henry Cheng's birthday), all are invited to a party at 7:00pm on the top floor of Monmouth Manufacturing in downtown Vallo. Your only requirement is you must wear a toga, and after much deliberation and lobbying for personal freedoms, wearing anything under the toga is optional.

If you don't have a sheet or yards of fabric to craft your own "historically appropriate" garb, Blue Sargent and co. is on deck to assist, though beggars can't be choosers and some of the sheets for the costume are more colorful than others. Also, some of the people pinning the toga are better at it than others (choose at your own risk.)

There's music (so much Madonna, Henry's favorite, though maybe not Caesar's). There are small bites on sticks and little plastic swords, Caesar salad for ambiance, and charcuterie, fruits, and various desserts. There is also a dinner plate full of hot wings reserved for Ronan Lynch, though if you ask nicely he might share. This is a dry party, but there are various sparkling drinks to give off the bacchanalia-esque illusion.

Gansey purchased second-hand Roman-style chaises for lounging appropriately, and if you're feeling so inclined, a poor excuse for an effigy of Caesar is set up in another corner of the space, for stabbing purposes. Because stabbing can be cathartic.

If you're going to get into character or be super nerdy, a space in the back is set up to conduct your forums. And if you want to challenge a few people to a game of pool, Gansey has unearthed it for just the occasion.
