The idea of such an event is fascinating and I enjoyed reading about it. Although one comment on the site points to a difference between American and British culture: they say they set the story in the 1950s because it is "a 'vanished decade' in pop culture". Which is odd because in the US it is perhaps the most cliched decade thanks to things like "Happy Days", "Grease", faux-1950s diners like Johnny Rocket's, etc.
