Subject: Re: historical workmanship judging guidelines

FWIIW, unless one is reproducing a historic garment prior to the 1830’s
I see no objection to machine sewing, and in fact if the garment is
recreation/interpretation rather than a reproduction (or whatever set of
terms is being used) I don’t really mind someone using a sewing machine
for the earlier garments. I have judged too many costumes where the
contestant went on a great length about how much time they had spent
hand sewing something (poorly) when it would have looked much better had
the main seams been sewn on the most basic of machines. My one
grandfather was a Greek tailor and my one cousin has his PhD in costume
design. Both of them are capable of perfect hand sewing garments, and
both used/use sewing machines where ever possible.

I’m pretty sure that we (CC-27) permitted one day memberships to
compete, particularly in the case of groups. Also, I never close my
registration prior to the afternoon on the day of the masquerade. I’ve
seen too many cases where weird transportation problems have delayed
people getting there.

Does registration until Noon on the day of the Historical leave enough
time for workmanship judging and tech?

Group: runacc Message: 2506 From: Byron Connell Date: 10/31/2012
Subject: Re: one day memberships and masquerade entries

Yes, because entrants who register early can begin workmanship judging, and maybe tech, early. Those registering later will have fewer time slots from which to choose. (I prefer 10-minute tech rehearsal slots; however, others prefer briefer periods.) For a Sunday historical, it may even be possible to begin workmanship judging on Saturday (the judges willing and the space available). Beginning the day before might not be feasible for a Saturday historical.

Subject: [runacc] one day memberships and masquerade entries

A recent thought on one day memberships . . . at most conventions, one could get a one day membership for Saturday only, register for the masquerade that day and be in the masquerade. However, I think at CC, masquerade registration traditionally closes on Friday night. Are people allowed to enter the masquerades with only a membership for the day of the masquerade. I know we generally want full weekend attending memberships, but we could lose potential masquerade entries and one day memberships.

Thoughts?

Subject: Re: one day memberships and masquerade entries
If the masquerade director allows for electronic documentation as well as
paper back-up, and electronic registration, I don’t see why a one-day
membership for Sunday wouldn’t work. Considering the historically (heh)
lower rates of entries in the Historical Masquerade, I’d think any excuse
to add folks would be welcome.

My own $0.02. Your mileage may vary…

If you are interested in getting updates as they come out, we have a

As secretary and vice-chair of the CC34 Bid Committee, I would like to know what sorts of documents and logistical things we need to be doing. Do WE prepare announcements or does someone else? Who prepares said ballots? And what sorts of things are we expected to do as a bid committee at CC31?

Thanks for your collective help in advance. Most of us on the committee for Madison are not new to running conventions nor attending CC, but we are first-time CostumeCon bidders. We’d love all the advice you wise folks can give.

Stace —

Welcome!

I have absolutely no official role. However, I may be helpful. Many of your questions are answered in the Costume-Con ConStiitution and supporting documents on the Costume-Con web site at:

http://www.costume-con.org/constitution.shtml

I believe that, once you have submitted the required bid material (see sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the ConStitution) to Karen Schnaubelt (aka, Ghod) and she has verified that yours is a valid bid, you would be free to make announcements and otherwise publicize your bid (e.g., Madison Area Costuming Society is bidding to offer Costume-Con 24 in ______) using any and all media (e.g., web site, Facebook page, Twitter, paper announcements, press releases, shouting out the window, embroidery on costumes. . . ).

The ConStitution requires CC 31 to prepare and distribute the ballot and to count the votes (section 2.10).

At CC 31, you should work on promoting the bid. This could include a fan table, entries in masquerades promoting the bid, sponsoring the Con Suite, making awards to entries in the masquerades that relate to the con’s philosophy or theme, and so forth. Check with the CC 31 concom. Wearing hall costumes that promote the bid would not hurt.

Remember, I have absolutely no official position, so anything I say is subject to correction or contradiction. If in doubt, ask Karen; she’s the service mark holder.

Subject: Re: CC34 bid?

I did submit the bid for MACS before the deadline. Karen emailed me and said everything looked good but she needed more time to go through it. I haven’t heard back from her since, but I know we are the only bid. I emailed her (i think) about a month ago asking if there was anything else, but I guess she is dealing with a lot of personal issues right now.

Hodges Ribbons is the place that Marty recommends for the big “horse show”

You want to allow about six weeks, more if you can, iirc.

Michael –
As Marg told you, most of the East Coast cons use Hodges Badge Company
for their ribbon orders. Because they started out selling ribbons for
horse shows the closest to the horse show season the busier they get. I
try to order ribbons for Balticon (end of May) at least two months in
advance, although I think that we ordered the ribbons for CC-30 about 3
weeks before and still got them in time. They also have some ribbons
that they can produce in 72 hours. If you can order before the end of
February, you get a discount on your order. If you are having a special
logo made for the center of the rosettes allow an extra week to get it
made. NOTE: there is a one time charge for the die but no charge after
that for using it. They also have a selection of available stamps for
the rosette centers which makes more sense when you are doing a one shot
con. They are really good people to deal with, their quality is
excellent, and of course they make plain badge ribbons both vertical and
horizontal as well as the rosettes. Remember that there will be a
charge each time that you change text. I usually do my ribbon order and
let them calculate the charges for the text changes. They will fax you a
copy of your order priced out for you to approve before they start to
produce the ribbons. If I can be of any help, please drop me a line.

We have an inquiry from a Canadian vendor about permits. I vaguely

Anyone one closer to Canada had to work with Canadian dealers?

You might want to also look at Stineman Ribbons: http://www.stinemanribbon.com/ – I got the Ribbon Project rosettes from them.
From what I hear of Hodges the service & prices are about the same but it might give you some style variants.

Basic ribbons would probably be the same from each but Stineman has some options & colors I didn’t see on Hodges site.
They were great at communication and really fast delivery, although it’s always good to plan in advance.

Just another option,

Excellent question (and repeated often).

One of the nice things about Yahoo Groups is the ability to store links to
useful stuff.

I just created a folder there, called Award Ribbons.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/runacc/links/Award_Ribbons_001359646081/

You’ll find these two companies listed, with the name of the company,
address and URL.

Anyone who is a member of this list can add links. Also files, etc.

I see these things requested often and I’m going to suggest that it would
be a GOOD THING ™ to take your documentation and place a copy up in the
files section, or in links, and share this data so we don’t have to ask
every time for each new con.

Yes, the purpose of this list is to share info. The purpose of the site is
to make that sharing easier.

Setting up the links took me about three minutes (less time than it took to
compose this message).

Go explore Yahoo, please!

(Note: You do need a Yahoo account to access the benefits of the group
beyond just getting email, but setting up a Yahoo account is trivial. If
you need help connecting your Yahoo account to this group, drop me a line
and I’ll take care of it for you.)

Michael –
The short answer is that you will order either too many or too few. Too
many is better because if you have ti place a second order there will be
extra charges. I believe that Kevin or Bruce have kept stats regarding
what percentage of attendees compete, and what percentage of those win
an award. Hopefully they can give you a better idea. If I get some time
this weekend I’ll send you my technique for changing the center streamer
so that you can save on the Best-in-Class and Best-in-Show ribbons.

Subject: Re: award ribbons

For Anticipation, the 2009 Worldcon, I had 25 entries. I ordered 120 award ribbons and ran out. I had to limit winning groups in the master division to one ribbon per group. This year, I placed the same order for Chicon, had 25 entries, and had a few left over.

What you need to do is have each MD estimate the number of bodies in the show and the proportion winning a workmanship award or a presentation award. This is their job, not yours. In a show such as the historical, that easily could exceed 100 percent of the number of bodies, since awards are made for documentation, workmanship, and presentation. Your MDs should review the data on SF and historical masquerades in the recent past on CostumeCon.org and make estimates for their own shows.

If you keep all ribbons simple and generic (e.g., “CostumeCon 31 Award”), you aren’t limited to using one sent of ribbons for one show. I also do not use different colored or labeled ribbons for different awards (e.g., best in show). In the tradition of the original Olympics in ancient Greece, everyone receives the same ribbon; the certificate says what it was for.

I hope this helps.

Note, that both of these CC’s were before the use
of digital folios. I believe CC28 provided a
disc containing the folio to people who joined at
the door. Henry will have to confirm. I’m not
sure what CC29 & 30 did. Printing is so
expensive, it’s much easier and cheaper to put a
digital copy on disc (PDF) than to actually print and bind (staple, whatever).

Just my 2 pence.

I agree with Sandy. Having worked in the print & copy shop industry for
a little while, the costs easily get high very fast. I don’t recall if
at CC30 the folio was being offered on disk, but it was not in the ‘at

burners in laptops, I would burn a small stack (25-50) and have them at
the check-in table. Have disks for those that request it, and if you run
out, burn on demand.

I personally think the digital folio is a great thing, but then I also
hate paperwork…

just my .02

PErsonally I LOVE t he idea of having a hard paper copy of the Folio.
Digital is okay……..but with the paper Folio, I Can print out photos
of people wearing the designs they made and tape them into the book (I
suppose that one could do this digitally, but I don’t live in a personal
digital world……).

Yours in costumign, Lisa A

Maybe I’m out in left field, but I would consider paying $3-5 if the con
wanted to email digital and sell hard copies.

Purchase of a copy of the Folio is included in an attending membership. Unless a con advertises that it will not be made available to at-the-door entrants in the same form provided to advance purchasers and reduces the at-the-door price to reflect its absence, the con is treating attending members unequally, to say the least.

I know that 29 had CDs to give out, and we (30) had some CDs & some paper, in case we ran out – which we did. Elaine

Note, that both of these CC’s were before the use

of digital folios. I believe CC28 provided a

disc containing the folio to people who joined at

the door. Henry will have to confirm. I’m not

sure what CC29 & 30 did. Printing is so

expensive, it’s much easier and cheaper to put a

digital copy on disc (PDF) than to actually print and bind (staple, whatever).

Just my 2 pence.
