some people will never get it

Although, in this thread a lot do.

Dressing up (and for that matter, just plain dressing civilly) is by default neither expensive nor uncomfortable. Grow up people!

ETA: You know how I sort of think I've lost my edge since becoming gluten-free and not being celiac cranky all the time? Hahahahaah. Clearly, the Snape-ish nastiness is still in full effect. This stuff makes me CRAZY.

I am also in Houston. I think Houston also has a sort of Southern sensibility, which indicates dressing up for anything conceivably a special occasion.

Here, people dress up for the big guys- Houston Ballet, TUTS, most prods at the Alley, and the Opera- but at the smaller theatres, of which we have a ton, people are more casual.
