We have had Ides of March parties for many years - but not recently.
A fave photo is this one I took of a message Eve left after one of our parties. The first year Dawn came, she said, "Oh, I thought it would be much longer." Apparently she had thought we were going to do the entire play! I was impressed that she was still willing to come!
Party got bigger and bigger each year - and eventually it was just too much for me anyway - we haven't done one in several years.
The original Ides of March event was a birthday party for our dear friend Ronnie Horton. Now we just remember and recall. And when I was teaching, I took the opportunity to explain it to my students - some of whom were more impressed than others.
Beware!!
