The 1998 "spectacle" proved, as always, to be the best-attended Student Union event of the year, selling thousands of tickets. And while MTV still failed to give Oberlin the airtime it deserved, the crowds didn't seem to mind. Costumes were creative, seductive, and downright offensive, but wasn't that the point? No matter what the individual experience was that night, Drag Ball '98 fufilled its purpose: to out-drag '97.
