Do most of you dress up, sport coat and tie? Are just casual, but nicer than during the clinics?
Jay
Bee suit is optional.

Dave
I was being serious.
Jay
So was I. No one has worn a bee suit for a long time, it seemed to be a Scott Mason signature. ;D
At the one Expo I attended, it seemed most people wore to dinner what they wore to the rest of the show. A few might have added a sports jacket, but that could also have been because it got a little chilly.
dave
Yes Jay. A bee suit. No joke. Doug Foscale & I still don't get it.
Take a look through the image gallery. Most are dressed pretty casual.

I googled Bee Suit. It is the coveralls and head pieces that Bee Keepers wear to prevent being stung.
Jay,
If it had been a beekeepers outfit it would have been more plausible, albeit odd. Instead it was a bee, stripes, antennae and spindly legs, a rather portly bee if I remember right. The reasoning behind the outfit no one but Mr. Mason knows.
As far as dinner attire, as Dave pointed out most people dress casual, and Jimmy's suggestion to look at pictures of past banquets will answer your question. Most of the ladies dress for the occasion, but then they dress better than most of us modelers anyway.

If you can wear a Philly Flyers shirt to a dinner I guess it's everything goes ;)
Ive been to a few (even the Bee suit event :o )...dress casual, save your luggage space for all of the kits you buy!
John
I've never been to any of the banquets, but I do know that you should dress appropriately if you plan to approach the dais and kiss "The Ring". 8) ;)
OK...

Scott Mason wore a Bee Costume to the banquet a few years back. I think he wanted to get extra use out of his Halloween Costume. I don't know - it must be one of those East Coast things that we don't understand in the Midwest and West.
John........
OK...... I think I have it.
As in bumble bee.......
The 60's were pretty good to you boys in the east.
California gets a bad rap.

And you people thought I was making this up!!!
dave
No Dave............. I didn't think you were making it up.....
I just didn't know what it was about.
Some things simply cannot be thought up by the clinically sane.......
See ya

Not a whole lot different from the Pittsburgh Steelers alternate uniforms they wear occasionally.
Jay
When I wore a bee suit, it was something like this ....

No matter how many times you ask me, I am NOT wearing a Dress to dinner!
The only tie I ever saw at the Expo was worn by Bob Mitchell, and he always wears one.
