Downside: Ticket fees and potentially clothes shopping.
I'm looking at attending one next month, proceeds are going to local LGBT youth programs, but goddamn. Minimum $35 to get in, $50 if you want VIP, and looking through my wardrobe, I have nothing to wear that qualifies for a black tie event. I'm currently maxing out at "high-middle class restaurant" attire.
Every man should own a tux. I got 2 off Amazon for $100ea. or less. Dress shoes were $35, white shirts are a couple of bucks at the thrift. Second-hand ties might as well be free.

Bring back Masquerades!
Fuck you, Sabbat rules!
You mean, Mardi Gras balls? We still have those where I live. They’re expensive and some exclusive.
.... the met gala
I was invited to something like a gala in grad school. I have not felt so alone and ugly since middle school. I'm not ugly, I just felt that way there.
I used to go to formal events pretty often, while living in a trailer park. You don't have to be rich.
Was working downtown and had a couple of hundred regular customers in construction related fields. Always got wind of something going on and I'll take any excuse to strap on a tux.
Around here there are Halloween, Mardi Gras, Christmas, etc. events going on fall to spring. Summer? Hell no, get inside or get underwater.
I mean… Paris is Burning (Wish You Were Here).
There's a new tactic folks are using to get back to the old school way where you meet potential partners in person:
They stop using dating apps. Taadaaaaaaa!
