WIWtG Black and White

If you read the description of the Black and White Ball that is on Realmsnet, the Ball seems to be a rather modest affair.  DO NOT BE FOOLED.
The reason there is not much in the way of "Heres why you should go" is because everyone knows.  The Black and White has a long history with the game, and most people can't imagine a year without this pillar of an event.  Unlike many of our cornerstone events, this one focuses on culture:  food, court, fashion, and dancing are center stage at this gala.
Sure, during the day, there are a few mini quests (some are private, as a heads up) and some fun tournaments, but the real fun begins at night.
A few tips about this event:
* Bring 2 sets of garb.  You will want your run around/questing garb for the day, and your fanciest attire for the evening.  And tradition tells us to wear a mask, so death will not notice you.  Tradition says you should also wear black and white.
* Have fun and get tickets!  There is a great auction, but you need to earn those tickets.
* There will be court.  Not just court, but Court.  Its capitalized because it is always a Big Deal.  It can be long, but very interesting.
* Be hungry.  While this is not technically a feast, the only thing preventing it from having that title is sitting space.  Vast amounts of food.  Its all delicious.  Except the crabbies.  Terrible, those.  Just slide them to me, and I will save you all from them.
* Flaunt it!  Wear your fanciest, show it off, and enjoy the evening.  Ive even heard rumors of a reward for Best Dressed.
