This is one of those things where Soren and I have slight disagreements: he's a "clean, neat, acceptable" sort, and I'm a "let's make it an Event" sort.
We were watching WattStax, a movie about the 1972 Watts Summer Festival at the Los Angeles Coliseum, and apart from all my other emotional responses (which I should write about, because they all have to do with race, class, wealth, and the interfaces), I was noticing how many people dressed up for the concert, some fancier than the people on stage -- because that's what you do to mark an event: you dress, you style.
