    I would have a tea party with Vermin Supreme-

    Taken from Wikipedia-

    Vermin Love Supreme is an American performance artist,anarchist and activist who is known for running as an alternative candidate in various local, state, and national elections in the United States.

    Supreme is known for wearing a boot shaped hat and carrying a large toothbrush. He claims that if elected President of the United States, he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth. He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness (and zombie-based energy plan) and time travel research, and he promises a free pony for every American.

    Imagine the conversation at that tea party...

    Of course, they would have to remain in character for the duration.

    I'd have afternoon tea with my grandmother one more time...She was scottish and had tea every afternoon between 3:30 and 4:30, with a lovely pot of tea and some biscuit or scone. She used to invite my friends, and at first I was embarrassed, but my friends loved it! What's not to love about a bit of friendship,some caffeine and yummies?

    Maybe a mad tea party with some off-kilter if not outright insane Victorian artists like some of the pre-Raphaelite crew, Richard Dadd or even pioneer photographer Eadweard Muybridge. (Given that Dadd & Muybridge were both murderers as well, I'm not sure how safe this gathering would be!)
