Buy your outfit at second-hand store or simply wear that worn out dress or suit you hardly ever wear. Men: Black or white tuxedo (black suit with a white shirt if a tux can’t be found) Women: Long evening gown of any color. No wedding dresses please. Where to get fancy, cheap clothes? Goodwill, Buffalo Exchange, CrossRoads Exchange, etc. A half-hour rummaging through several Haight/Ashbury stores should get you what you need. Or, do a simple random scan through your parents’ closets. BRING BEACH STUFF BRING BEACH STUFF: Bring normal beach items (e.g. towel, blankets, sandcastle building tools, boogie board, Frisbee, kite, etc.) as well as Food/Snacks for sharing...let's make this a potluck if possible. And, be awesomely friendly! The only unusual thing is that we will be doing all of this in black tie suit and formal dress, while acting like it is perfectly normal wear for the beach. However, I may bring some mimosas to keep it SF classy! Note: If you Plan on swimming in the cold ocean in your attire you should try to find cheap/used clothes or pair you no longer care about! And, it's OK if your clothes are stained, damaged, or ill-fitting. Just find the best you can find, but please no jokey outfits. I recommend wearing a bathing suit underneath your outfit rather than underwear.
