One of my commenters is going, and sent this update:

“I just received an email saying that, in addition to the 20s-era ball, they’ll be screening themed 16mm educational films in a separate room, with titles like Ready To Type, Don’t Be Afraid, Surviving The Cold, and Is A Career In The Hotel Or Motel Business For You?“

This thing is going to be great.

“In 1980, Stanley Kubrick came to the Timberline Lodge to film one of the all-time great horror classics, THE SHINING. In the film, Jack Nicholson slowly loses his grasp on reality and loses himself in a hallucination of a 1920s era ball. Twenty-Eight years later, Nike Sportswear and Fantastic Fest have joined forces to recreate the very same ball at the very same lodge.”

Just $200 for two people, including overnight stay, VIP screening of the movie at midnight (all guests will watch the movie simultaneously in their rooms), cocktails, more. Formal attire is required, vintage 20′s attire recommended.

I’d do anything to attend this.
