no, no - zoot suits were from the '40s. Not sure if there was a special name for the suits from the '20s - lounge suits? something louche, for sure.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Pop quiz! Who said this:
"a killer-diller coat with a drape shape, reet pleats and shoulders padded like a lunatic's cell."

We have a winner! Except he was "Detroit Red". Foxx was Chicago.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What I'm saying, though, is that cost always seems to be more of a factor in the beginning than it is later on.
I see it as the opposite. People plan on going and really want to but when the time comes they just can't afford to (particularly with New Orleans).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That was definitely what happened chez Zmayhem with NOLA. (This past year's F2F, there was so very much no possibility of going that in my brain it doesn't even count. Didn't happen. Please don't tell me otherwise or I may cry.)
Another plus for KC, as bragged about by Erin, is vintage and thrifting opportunities. Possibly slightly less fantastic the thrifting at the F2F that never existed this year, but still very very good.
eta: Another plus for KC? ERIN. And possibly Gud, and I feel like I'm memfaulting at least one other excellent localista.
