Muse's Masque Concept and Cost
Muse's Masque is Caid's newest arts event coming up on August 29th. This evening event is a social space and non-competitive arts showcase that gives us an opportunity to come together as a community and raise funds to help that community grow. The event is not selling any tickets at the door and is pre-register only.
Both standard tickets ($50 member, $60 non-member) and a more limited number of patron's tickets ($100/$110) are available. Those patron's tickets will include a special upgraded site token and your name and arms on a Patron's Roll of Arms. (More info on that below.)
Tickets can be purchased by going to:

Site
The beautiful site has plentiful parking. Join us in the Banquet Hall of the David L. Baker Golf Course. They have a rock-solid air conditioning system.
10410 Edinger Ave
Fountain Valley, CA 92708
Food and Beverages
The event includes the cost of a variety of period party foods made by a collection of Caid's fabulous chefs, but does not include a sit-down feast. We're also setting up a potluck dessert. The venue is managing an on-site bar where alcohol will be available for purchase.
Baubling
There will be a parlor with games of skill and chance and opportunities to wager your baubles in good-natured gambling.
We will be offering several bags of notable and special baubles for sale for $5 a bag at the event. (Those that have small items of interest, be they unique tokens from SCA experiences or well-loved and traveled baubles from the gaming community, and would like to donate to this cause, please speak to His Excellency Diego de Palma, mka Benjamin Dean Doggett.)
Free bauble bags will be available as well for those that wish to start their collection and start playing at games. We will also be hosting a fundraising chess tournament with a $5 buy-in with a fabulous prize. Participants are welcome to come and bring their own historical games to share. We look forward to playing with all of you!
Fashion Show
Have you wanted to showcase a piece to the wider art community without the pressure of a competition? Do you want a way to give back to Caid's art community while also displaying art? Do you want a long-term project with community support? Then we have an opportunity for you! Muse's Masque is hosting a runway show and artisan showcase to benefit Caid's underfunded arts community.
Individuals can enter, but we encourage teams. Looks can either be sponsored to create a piece that is showcased at the Muses Masque Fashion Show, by someone who donates at least $50 on their behalf. Alternatively, an unfitted piece such as an accessory can be offered up for silent auction. All proceeds go directly to supporting the Arts (and thus the artisans) within our wonderful kingdom.
The show will be limited to twenty walks due to time constraints and other Masque activities, so sign up early and showcase your progress at events throughout the year!
Artisans in need of additional assistance should reach out to Valeria Cabrielli at
YXJ0cyAhIGRlcHV0eSB8IHNjYS1jYWlkICEgb3Jn. I may be able to help, or connect you to the right expert. The theme of the show is "The Florentine Renaissance." We encourage people to be on theme, but it's more important that you're inspired! So, come showcase your skills. You can walk your piece down the runway or include a model as part of your plan or team. You can sign up for the fashion show when you buy your tickets. See you on the runway!
Dancing and Music
You can expect plenty of dancing at the Masque and live music as well. The dance list has already been set and will be taught a few dances at a time throughout the coming year at various events with refreshers available the day of. The set list can be found on the official event page:

Patron's Roll of Arms
If patron tickets are purchased, your name and arms will be painted by Caid's scribes and displayed prominently at the event on a Roll of Arms. It can include a coronet, wreath, or cap of maintenance (where applicable) and can also reference your chosen affiliations (barony, household, etc.) so long as there's a applicable badge registered with the College of heralds. A preferences form will be sent after the purchase of your patron's tickets.
