I gather singing along is encouraged, and getting in early is essential. Presumably, everyone will be "in character"?<br /><br />What to wear? What to wear!?<br /><br />I don't own a single approved t-shirt. I'm expecting that jeans are okay. But what of my leather jacket? Will I be hurled bodily from the pub by two vegetarian bouncers? It's a minefield.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4616620850392046015-1163307023608896920?l=strangewaysbook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stevenoreply@blogger.com1
