[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to this last night. The nave was decorated for the under-the-sea theme. We were admiring the decorations for successfully combining arty, tasteful, and probably fairly cheap as befitting a fundraiser. So, long blue and green streamers, balloons (clear, white and blue) to look like bubbles, party lights and even a disco ball or two and the sparkles helped with the underwater theme.

The altar/sanctuary area was blocked off by black curtains and then a bank of lights before it. So you couldn’t see, for example, the crucifix over the altar.

Crowd was a few hundred (I’m bad at guesstimating crowds)? Crowd was surprisingly diverse—many races, I knew a few people who were Jewish and Hindu, some gays and trannies, and a guy in a mermaid outfit.

Many people were dancing to the DJ in the center of the nave. Music from Brick House to Beyoncé and very occasional EDM with lots of 70s and 80s faves. Nothing risqué or anti-religion.[/quote]

I should add: it was a good time, really. People were having fun. The under-the-sea-effect was really effective and striking in the nave. Although if your thing is frat or EDM parties then this wasn’t it. [/quote]

Sounds very creative and a clever way to fund raise while providing a good time.  Thanks for the description.[/quote]
