Theme Parties: Come As You Were

    Another one of the many “theme” parties that was had during the heyday of our social life during the 1980’s and 90’s in the Robson Valley, was the “Come As You Were” Party at Monroes.  The idea was to dress as some historical figure you might have been in a past life.  I really don’t remember who I went as, I think I went as Mark Twain, but I see on this invitation it has me down as Sigmund Freud.  I don’t really think that is how I came as, because making a beard would have been a problem.  Being Mark Twain (one of my heroes from the past) would have been more logical, since I often used the long white mohair from my Angora goats, to make a mustaches and hair for costume parties.

    I do remember making a dance tape for the party, because one of the songs on it was Dire Straits, “Money For Nothing” which had just been released, and was was a big hit during the party.

    Our large group of friends sure had some stellar times back then.
