Hey Lucas, we were there on Dapper Day Sunday. It was our first time as DD participants and we did the fashion thing. It was a very fun time for us more "mature" types, and we'll probably do it again. Great to see so many swanky-looking peeps as it harkened back to gentler days. You know, like during the Cold War? We finished our very long day at Trader Sam's; another first for us. The place was packed (way too small inside) but thankfully there were two gals who we'd run into and chatted up several times throughout the day and they were about to leave, so they offered us their table! We had a swell time.

Lookin' dapper, I must say! I am suprised this event is not more well-publicized, but it should be and it seems to be right up tiki central's alley! If people are into it, you can go here to sign up:

it was a hoot, and just like you said...people were dressed probably the way the average person dressed in the 50's to go to amusement parks...ties, coats, hats...pretty damn swanky! I almost plotzed when I saw the Japanese girls all done up as well! There were a lot of pin-up girls left and right! frankly, I hardly even went on any rides, just had some drinks and walked around people watching and seeing them dance and stuff. very cool!
