Corsette Night

[Paul LaPlaca]

Sad to say, I've missed this every time I've been down there but this year will make it a point to see it in all it's laced glory.

I'm curious about the history, who started it, where is it usually held and what are some favorite pics or memories? It seems like a completely unique experience- no other festival I've attended has anything quite like it.

Thanks!

Unofficially, it was me, Lara, and MetalRose starting around ProgPower IV - we all independently wore corsets that year. (Lara and I did, MR might have been the next year?) Everyone thought it was a cool idea which started gathering steam, and I think PPVI is when we started making Friday the official night.

I originally misread this as Corvette, and thought we'd all be driving our 'Vettes down to Center Stage....maybe lining them up on 17th st or in the parking garage....?
