Arrgh, I'm going to be out of town and miss this. Had a great time at it last year.
Have fun, and good luck all!

I'm curious to what a Golden Age/Silver Age costume is.

Golden Age is the earliest superheroes, 30's-50's. Think two or three bright colors to stand out at the store; they may even clash if it helps get attention. Most are based off of circus performers or military (WW1 & WW2) uniforms. Lots of capes after Superman's breakout sucess, people tried to imitate it without really knowing what they were doing. Military style ones will often have buckles and large boots. Weird stuff works too. Comics were just starting out and it was a sort of "throw it in" period.
Silver Age is the late 50's to 70's. It's what I tend to think of as "classic" style costumes, despite having come second. Spandex makes it's appearance here. The military look is largely dropped. Colors get darker (but not as dark as 80's and 90's costumes) and don't clash anymore. Capes may or may not be around.
Here's a cover with Silver Age Flash (on the left) fighting Golden Age Flash.

This is absolutely tomorrow. Saturday, Feb. 26th at 8pm EST! Hope to see everyone there.
Hi-do-ho, pals and gals!
The Festival is TONIGHT!
Remember...Golden Age can be anything from the pulps to the four color comics of the late 1950s. Silver Age is generally said to have started in the late '50s/early '60s, depending on title and publisher. If your character fits in later than about the mid-'60s, he/she will probably be out of place.
Does that mean you can't come...absolutely not! Icon has plenty of retro duds on hand, in conjunction with the Festival. Let them set up your get up, fire up your flivver, hop your popsicle, or just hoof it on over!
