SoCal Pan Fandom Formal

Steve and Laura

A nice evening out

Dress up, dress to impress. Bring your best. Anything you'd wear to Labyrinth, the Time Traveler's Gala, or the SoCal Cosplay Ball should be fine, or wear a suit and tie or a nice dress (or the equivalent), or a costume you're proud of and can sit down in. Make an effort.

Tickets $20, or by special arrangement. "Pan Fandom Friend of the Formal" VIP tickets $40.

What to Expect

Doors open at 6:00 pm. Music for dancing until Midnight.

Expect to find a dance floor, comfortable seating, and a disc jockey in one room; food, drink and conversation in another, well-lit room.

Costume Repair Station: if your costume needs a simple emergency fix, we'll probably be able to help you.

V3 Cosplay Syndicate
