Yes.

Fashion folio (with a start-date 18 months before the con) puts
different time pressures on CC than Worldcon has.

It does give more time for the CC to get things together. And raise money.
Admittedly, there has not been a competing bid situation for years, but when
it happens again, the lead time will be appreciated.

Subject: Judge’s responsibility
Apropos of some of the discussion on the BOD list:

Should it have been my responsibility, as a judge, to disqualify an entry in
the SF & F if I saw the costume in the halls? Or was it the responsibility
of the MD to disallow them; in which case if they okayed it, then it was
permissible to judge it as part of the competition?

It’s a moot question, but this could become more of a point of contention as
we see more cosplayers coming CC.

Subject: Re: Judge’s responsibility

JMO, but it is the responsibility of the MD. It’s your responsibility to
inform the MD of the situation, but let them rule on it. Judges should be
free from having to make rules decisions like that on top of judging quality
and excellence. There’s also the possibility that the entrant was caught up
in the rehersal quandry: I don’t want my costume to be seen before the
competition, but I really want to practice in it and there’s no place to
change but my hotel room and then wear it down and hope for the best.

My understanding is it’s generally discouraged, might be in the
guildelines, but some MD’s allow it. Particularly if the masque is
small.

I think it is the MD’s problem

if it comes across the stage, I judge it. I am a judge at that point, not an admin.

that happened to me at Arisia last year, all these little cosplay chickies came up to me to bitch about someone who alledgedly bought her stuff, or some other thing.’

sorry, some one told me to judge it, and I did

I think the same thing for the hall costume thing. heck some east coast cosn are so small these days, we all beg hall costumes to enter.

Yeah, those complaints need to be taken to the MD, not the judges. If
it’s a rules violation, it’s the MD’s responsibility.

If there is evidence supporting the claim (and it is a rules violation
and not just something somebody doesn’t like), then the MD decide how to
act on the complaint.

Subject: Re: Judge’s responsibility

First thing to do is *check the rules*!

Not all conventions bar hall costumes from the masquerade; there is no
mention of doing so in the ICG guidelines.

It became a practice (a “convention” 😉 at Costume-Cons and Worldcons
designed to avoid overwhelming the competition with too many entries.

As many folks have stated, if there is a question of disqualification,
ask the MD.
Disqualification should be the MD’s call (whatever the reason).

That is a good question. I think it is the call of the MD, unless they have
a rule that says one way or the other.

Subject: Re: Judge’s responsibility

This turns on whether there is a “no hall costumes” rule for the masquerade. Certainly, if the masquerade does not bar hall costumes, neither a judge nor the MD could act to bar one. The rule was introduced to cut down the number of entries. That no longer seems essential and the Fairness Guidelines do not recommend such a rule. I dropped it from Philcon’s masquerade rules and did not include one at Anticipation

Having said that, at a masquerade I am directing, a judge would not have the authority to disqualify an entry. Only the MD has that power and the judge should bring the concern to the MD for a decision.

It is never your responsibility to enforce what you believe to be the
rules. It is the Masquerade Director’s responsibility. If you believe
that something is in violation, you can bring it to the MD’s attention
(which is why the MD should be sitting in on the judging) but your job

The big question still stands. Did you read and understand the rules?
Only then would you know if it’s even something to approach the MD with…

I do not believe it is a judge’s responsibility to disqualify an
entrant. That should be solely a MD’s job. However, I think it is
appropriate to notify the MD of any potential problem and let them
make any decisions.

At Archon this year, I, as judge, noted a few masquerade entries that were
on stage that had been in the hallways most of the con. Sheila said that did
not count against them in her book because she wanted to encourage entries.
I am glad she was there and said so.

I also would like to add that I restrained myself from pulling out the
“Well, in my experience judging at a CC…” Which she was glad I did.

With these responses, then the conclusion I have reached is that I should
have mentioned it to the MD and let her decide. Oh well. Noted. Not like
I’ll be judging another East Coast masq any time soon, but good to know
going forward.

Thanks, everyone.

It is never your responsibility to enforce what you believe to be the
rules. It is the Masquerade Director’s responsibility. If you believe
that something is in violation, you can bring it to the MD’s attention
(which is why the MD should be sitting in on the judging) but your job
is to judge costumes, not people.

Subject: Re: Judge’s responsibility
Dear Folks,
I’m singing in late to this discussion but I think I have a point of
information that you may not yet have considered. Oh wait there is Fearless
Leader but he’s been unable to attend Philcon a few times in recent years. And
technically rob is the MC not the MD. So I’ll proceed anyway.

Philcon has a masquerade but typically low entry numbers, usually 10 or
less.
Sometimes we have encouraged people with really good hall costumes to
actually walk across the stage as part of the masquerade.
Some never thought of entering the masquerade or didn’t recognize we had
one because the anime term is “cosplay”
If they say they didn’t actually make the costume from scratch but
bought various parts to complete the ensemble, they are told they can present
the costume without entering the competition.

Sincerely, Joni Brill Dashoff, Lunatyk Phyrnge aka Del Val.

permissible to judge it as part of the competition?

It’s a moot question, but this could become more of a point of contention
as
we see more cosplayers coming CC.

Group: runacc Message: 1979 From: Ricky & Karen Dick Date: 1/18/2010
Subject: Re: [ICG-D] IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Re Costume-Con 30
Dear Friends and Costume-Con 30 members:

At the time I bid for Costume-Con 30, I made certain assumptions about the
state of my life and my ability to run the convention. Sadly, those
assumptions were not accurate, and over the last 9 months, my life has been
thrown into such disarray that I have no business chairing a convention, let
alone a “milestone year” convention such as Costume-Con 30.

For the good of the convention, and exercising my prerogative as the
Costume-Con Founder and Service Mark Holder, I have made the difficult
decision to hand over the running of Costume-Con 30 to different stewards.
Elaine Mami has agreed to chair the convention, with the backing of the
SouthWest Costumers Guild (SWCG) chapter of the ICG. The venue will move
from Pittburgh, PA to the Phoenix, AZ area. Theming may change, as the new
committee should have free rein to run their convention their way. This is
an experienced and competent committee, and I have no doubt that they will
run an excellent and fun-filled Costume-Con.

If you already have a membership for Costume Con 30, you need do nothing-it
will be honored. If you joined the convention between Costume-Con 27 and
this announcement and would like a refund, it will be cheerily given.

Hopefully, at 2+ years out from the con, disruption will be minimal. Thank
you for your patience during the transition.

–Karen Dick

Subject: Our domain has been taken

Joyce,

Concerning our recent phone call, enclosed is a copy of our resgitration page and associated correspondence.

Our web site, sickpups.org, has been squatted by our webmaster, and we would like to get the domain name back from him. The site was designed by Betsy Delaney, who then moved on and transferred the position to Bill Frankenfield. He handled that site, as well as another, and did the job badly. We tried, without success, to get him to keep the site updated. Ultimately, we found someone else to be our webmaster, and asked him to turn the site over to us. He refused, emptied all of our information, and is using the site – with our name – to promote another organization.

We need your help to regain our site.

Thank you for your efforts,

Elaine Mami

Some of you know how this has been delayed but there’s good news:
The CC28 Future Fashion Folio is done!

That is – the layout is done but it will be a week or more until it is printed & mailed, then you must wait for the postal service to deliver it.

So I have a special offer for all CC28 members who would be happy to have an electronic copy NOW to avoid the wait; I can send you a zip file of the entire Folio.

Please respond to me at “von <underscore> drago <at> yahoo <dot> com”
• include an email at which you can receive a large file
• let me know if you are willing to wait until the convention to pick up your hardcopy or if you need it sent to you after they are printed & ready to be mailed

Thanks!

CC9 was also done that way.

Since I was running a dealer table at the time and was also Exhibit
coordinator, it was relatively easy to do both jobs. This included a
change-over from Saturday to Sunday. Friday/Saturday was fantasy themed
costumes and Snow Queens through the Ages. Sunday was historical
costumes and a Jenny Ketcham retrospective.

The doll display was also in the room with us, but I didn’t manage that.

Subject: Re: Dealers & Exhibits
If the room is large enough, it could work. I have seen it done. However, unless they are separated somehow, it could get crowded. When folks with cameras back up for a shot and bump into shoppers, traffic jams occur.

Any opinions on putting Dealers & Exhibits in the same room.

Thanks.

Michael

I joined the list a month or two ago, when you first suggested it.
However, there’s only been the one message (yesterday) that I’ve seen
so far.

Group: runacc Message: 1996 From: Martin Gear Date: 4/1/2010
Subject: Re: Dealers & Exhibits

Michael –
We did that for both Costume Con 3 and Costume Con 9. If you have
sufficient room and put your dealers around the perimeter and the
exhibits in the center and leave sufficient room for wide aisles, it can
work quite well. You will still probably want to hav a couple of people
inside the exhibit area just to keep an eye on things.

Thanks for all the input. I was at CC24 and have no recollection of
the dealers room. The areas will be supervised.

Group: runacc Message: 1999 From: Nora & Bruce Mai Date: 4/3/2010
Subject: Info for future CCs
At CC25 we collected a list of attendees who wanted to receive information
on Future CCs which we then passed on to the seated committees at the time
(CC26, CC27 & CC28).
I know I have a copy of it stored on a disk with other CC25 info but what
did those committees do with it?
Have they added any to it? Will it get forwarded to CC29, CC30, etc.?
