So, after creating a poodle skirt for a family friend's child, I decided that a Metro Sock Hop would be really fun. So is anyone interested in attending this event and/or helping me set it up?

Cute idea! I would not mind attending if my schedule permits! (I'll be spending a lot of time in the ballroom!)

Oh. Ahaha shows how young I am.. Thought it had something to do with socks. I was like whaaa? But it's all good. :] Doesn't seem like too bad of an idea.

The planning part is only those who really want to help, this thread is mainly to see if there is an interest in it. Glad to see there is though!

Sounds like a blast! I'm up for any help you might need.
(At least this sock hop I'll be expecting, unlike the last sock hop I attended expecting something else. :<)

I've often suggested a different musical dance event other than the rave, like an AMV Dance Party. I'd suggest using music from both the 50's and 60's for it. I'd definately show up and spin madly around the dance floor at this. As I have some pretty good knowlege of the music of the time (since I'm soooooo old), I'd love to help out with this. Keep me up on the progress.

Just something interesting I wanted to add (just because fun trivia is always interesting)....in the 50s, no one had poodles on their skirts. It was the circle skirt or pencil skirt that was the fashion. At least, my grandmother (who was in high school in the early 50s) never saw a poodle on a skirt. XD
Not that I would avoid doing such, LOL, I would totally put a Kyo on a skirt for a Tohru outfit!! :]

Cool idea guys! Though, you'll have to work on it a bit more to see what you can do to make it different. We wouldn't want to just copy a normal sock hop (that's been done at other conventions with varying degrees of success), but make special enough to be held at METROCON and have more than just a handful of fans want to come to it.
After that, if it's good enough, we'll consider it.

Which host club? The Ouran Host club? If so, you should probably ask them (The Ouran Host club) first before comitting them. Also, remember, somthing like this (and other event suggestions) need to be approved first. So, don't start planning and getting materials and advertising unless it's for sure going to happen. We're a tad early to be approving any major events yet. So, they all go into the pile and we discuss them at our meetings.
I'm definetly not trying to discourage anything, just making sure it all goes in the proper order. XD

Yes, and it doesn't have to be the con artist that host it, but I think I'm going to skip the hosts and go for day glow.
I know it is a bit early, but no harm in getting excited. ;P I thank you for the help! If I get the details plucked out now, it will save time. ^_^

He says it all the time....but only in text form.
Trust me. XD
I would recommend avoiding Ouran... ^^;;;; Think outside of the proverbial box. "Hosted by the Ouran High School Host Club!" panels are becoming rather tired...

Okay, you want unique? How about a Murder Mystery Sock Hop? A bit of a dance, a murder, an investigation where everyone is a suspect and the killer will be the last person you expect! *puts Mr Rodger on character list*<-- Just joking on that part. ^_^
