I do like the 3 info. files, although the main one is really rather long.
On the Dos and Donts page, please add: DO drink plenty of water, because
hotels are notoriously dehydrating.

Keep something in your pocket. Apply regularly. If you don’t, and wait
’til your lips are dry, you’ll be too late.

Subject: PayPal…
So all this PayPal discussion over on ICG-D (yeah, OK, it wasn’t
much…)

It’s best to just factor in the transaction cost for PayPal or other
credit processing into the base membership rate. Then you don’t have to
worry about it being “cost effective,” It’s already budgeted for, and
is available through the whole process.

That said, a cynical approach is to not open PayPal services until the
last rate-hike. The last pre-reg rate should have enough buffer in it
to cover the processing costs. It also gets (and this is the cynical
part) folks who won’t do anything but PayPal or cash in-person waiting
until the rates are highest to register.

Subject: Re: PayPal…
As I may have mentioned before, our experience at CC23 was that between
1/3 and 1/2 of our memberships came via PayPal. The first one sold that
way within 24 hours of my opening up that option on the webpage.

When we reviewed the fee structure, we opted to just incorporate it into
the membership rate, rather than as a separate item. This given that if we
had accepted just checks, we would have had to budget for returned check
fees for at least a few such items.

Overall, I would not do another con without setting up a PayPal (or credit
card/merchant account) right from the start.

Good points, as usual, Andy.

I’m guessing we may wind up doing that. I’m wondering if Dave’s experience
may be unique, though, given the attending numbers. At this point, we’ve
already set our rates, so factoring Paypal at this point is not something
I’m keen on doing.

The only thing missing from Dave’s note is when CC23 implemented
PayPal. That would give us a bit more context to evaluate his numbers.
I don’t think, though, that his experience is anything unique.

Group: runacc Message: 1309 From: Les Roth Date: 2/17/2006
Subject: Re: PayPal…

CC24 has had online registration up since October, and have had
approximately 20 memberships come via PayPal. We’ve decided to eat
the PayPal cost ourselves rather than raising our rates.

One request, please do not do what Capricon did this year. They
charged an additional $2 to register online (for a $40 membership)
but never notified the user of this. The only notice of a surcharge,
was when you’re dumped into PayPal and the fee is listed at $42,
instead of $40, with no indication of why the price wasn’t what they
quoted on their web page. Very poor form, in my opinion. If you’re
going to charge a surcharge, please have the decency to let folks
know upfront.

Whether its a hotel or the con, putting unexpected fees on is a sure
way to create big problems. This is even more surprising since you
have to write the webpage that calls PayPal up anyway, you should be
able to immediately add that verbiage.

Subject: Stay on Target, Stay on Target
To all our friends on the Runacc list,
we’re sorry to be sending this right now, as we’re sure the last thing you
need is more email about costuming.

But we wanted to be sure we are all on the same page re Costume-Con.

We know many of you are quite ‘active’ in the goings on over on the ICG-D
list right now.
We hold in our hearts that you are all acting on good faith and doing what
your conscience tells you is right.

You will notice we are staying completely out of the turmoil.

Our first and only concern, past making costumes, is the smooth running of
and upholding the continuity of Costime-Con.

We hope everyone realizes that whatever is going on with the ICG and
whatever our opinions of it are, we here must be sure that no harm comes to
the reputation of CC, and especially that no harm comes to the three active
seated conventions. We must work to let people know that at CC they are free
to enjoy costumes as they wish, in a fun atmosphere, with club politics only
affecting them if they choose to let it.

Strong statements on the ICG list polarize people’s opinions, and we need to
support each other so that there are no negative feelings associated with
any CC because of that.

Now we come to the latest weapon people use to beat each other up with:
Anime costumes. CC obviously will welcome Anime costumes with open arms. To
that end, Bruce Mai, Kevin Roche, and Ricky all have joined cosplay.com and
been active both in talking about CC, and even better, have been helpful in
answering questions on the topics that these folks have questions about,
like makeup, armour, green rooms, and more.

And now we, with a great deal of help from ‘friendlies’ in the cosplay
community, have arranged that CC will have its own subforum on cosplay.com,
right there with Comic Con, Dragon Con and all the tons of anime cons.
The Powers That Be have realized that we are trying to be inclusive and that
their members would benefit from a CC forum. How cool is that?

We all have talked in the past about ways to have a full time CC promotion
effort and this is a GREAT one.

So, in spite of whatever differences of opinion are taking place on the
ICG-D, let’s try not to kill each other over there, and let’s make sure that
no matter what else happens, that the next 3 CC’s go as well as we hope they
will.

Karen and Ricky

Thanks Pierre,
your calm approach will be well served over there and thanks Kevin for
getting him the info.

The CC forum isn’t up yet as the administrator is at a con this weekend.
They still do call them cons don’t they?
I mean I’m still takig in the part where we aren’t supposed to say costuming
anymore LOL
( just a joke, please leave the ICG stuff off of here)
hopefully it will be up this week.
With all the effort Kevin has been making on the archives it really has
pushed us to work on the year round angles of CC and we hope to have other
stuff to share with you by CC.
We don’t want another runacc meeting or anything. some of you will be in no
mood for more meetings I bet.
but we will keep you up to date on what’s happening and what we need help
with.
Anything we’re ready to chat with you at cc about will be in position to
send to this list as well, so anyone not attending will always be kept up to
speed.

but we do have some fun things we’d like to do and will need the envolvement
of others to make it happen.

Ricky, Karen, and everyone else,
This is all “F”ing nuts, in my opinion.
I do agree that we in this group do not let it interfere with CC’s. I
wouldn’t be bidding for another one if I thought CC’s were “F”ing nuts.

I’ll go with that — make mine a mai tai or a daiquiri (a real one, not one of those stupid strawberry or banana things!).

Byron won’t be responding to anything until at least Thursday evening — he’s away at a college on Long Island, working with a Middle States Accreditation team visit.

Since I’m not on ICG-D, I only have a slight inkling of what’s been going on, but I gather that some poops have been trying to impose their (narrow-minded) visualization of the Cosmic All on everybody else. I’m definitely on the side of “fun” — if it wasn’t fun, I wouldn’t be doing it.

Subject: Bringing us back from the bar for a moment…
Hi!

I know this sounds too good to be true, but I’m working on the photos
for the archives again.

Kevin’s inspired me.

So, I have discovered a problem with what I presently have in my hands.
Namely: I’m missing all of the historical photos from CC12. Does anyone
have a set I can borrow and scan, or a set that’s already electronic?

I’m going to do the ones I can, and move on to the next set I’ve got
electronically.

I also seem to be missing CC22’s electronic version of photos (and I
would have sworn up one side and down another that I received a disk or
a set of photos or both), but in trying to compile all the disks I still
had to go through, CC22 wasn’t there.

Anything I can do to avoid scanning I’ll do. I have to scan CC1 (the
images I have on the site are not photos but video snaps and they’re
dreadful).

If you can help with either of these gaps in my collection, I’d very
much appreciate it. I’ve got other ways to get the images if I can’t
deal with actual photos, but the video snaps are much lower quality in
many cases (even on a DVD, the image is reduced by the abilities of the
camera, and many white or shiny costumes are complete washouts as a result).

I’m working my way through CC12 because it’s sitting on my computer
taking up space. I have CC21 and 23 on disk, so there’s no worries there.

And I have a black and white “memory book” from CC20, which I’m going to
use for the purposes of grabbing temporary images, since video snaps
take a LOT more time. (And my DVD-ROM doesn’t like the Archive DVDs – I
can’t see the menu, and can’t start the video as a result, so I’ll have
to rig something else to get the images, or use a different computer or
DVD player.)

AHH – Katie just dumped water all over herself. And folks wonder why
this job is taking so long!!!

. . . which drives you to drink. But, in comparison with
other conventions I attend, CC has very little drinking
going on.

I certainly did.

A few years ago here we had a series of parties that
featured a particular type of alcohol, and had a
historical theme appropriate to the alcohol (such as the
Bay of Pigs crisis for the rum party, and Khruschev
visiting the US for the vodka party). Everyone dressed
appropriately for the period, the food went with the theme
– it was a fun time.

See, there’s the catch – costuming drives us to drink, and
drinking inspires us to costume! It’s a vicious circle.

I have an inquiry in with Vickie as to whether or not we ever donated a set
of prints to the Archives or not, and, if not, could we do so now. She is
checking to see if they still are able to send you a set if it turns out
that we did not do so at the time of the Con. I have the original prints

Update:

I found the photos from CC22. I still think there might have been a disk
involved, but if I have to scan the photos I can. It’s going to wait
until I have the electronic ones done first, though.

Thanks!

I was surprised at how much drinking there was at CC23. There seemed to be much more going on, than at previous CC’s (19, 17, 16). So I didn’t come prepared. I’ll be prepared for CC24 🙂

To keep this related to costuming – drinking IN the pool or hot tub greatly
reduces the chance of ruining your costume with those nasty alcohol stains.

YMMV,

I’d suggest a Blood Shot. In a shot glass, pour 2/3 Chambord, 1/3 Vampire Vodka. Makes a nice dark red drink. The Chambord takes the edge of the vodka. Warning, it does stain.

I think we’re going to use shipping to conserve weight in our Des
Moines luggage and make space for a few bottles and each do a carry-on
4-box of bottles.

Definitely in the mix is
Wasabi Vodka (it’s very green, and it will blow the back of your head
off)
“Qi” Lapsang Souchong Tea LIqueur (good if there’s a Tibetan Panel Coat
reunion)
“Junipero” gin for Henry

Andy,
I’ll bring that good California vermouth, and get a bottle of Lillet.

I guess if we were actually smart, while we still don’t want a real meeting, I think a friday morning drink athon instead of the ICG meeting would work well.

Group: runacc Message: 1350 From: Tina Date: 3/28/2006
Subject: Re: drinking at CCs

This is certainly proving to be a popular (and entertaining, in both senses of the word) topic. May I introduce a drink that we invented many years ago, when we used to really party: the Rhonda. It was named for a friend of ours, an attractive redhead. Take equal parts of rum, vodka and blue curacao; 1/2 oz. of each equals the standard jigger, but we used to mix them a bit stronger than that and mixed them by the pitcherful. Place in a tall glass (or pitcher, if mixing in quantity), add some ice, and then top up with lemonade. Tastes absolutely harmless, but they’re sneaky if one goes by the taste and laps up a couple in quick succession. (Reminds me of my mother’s story about how one of my uncles got her blitzed on grasshoppers when she was 16.) Rhondas used to be very popular back when we used to throw house parties. They also look really neat in a wineglass. I used to drink them at cons before the East Coast cons went dry and, when asked what I was drinking, would say “I’m drinking sapphire wine.” Sometimes people would get it.

The Chambord & vodka sounds good, but I have a bottle of Cherry Kijafa downstairs calling to me, and I think I’m going to go down now and see how well that works in a cocktail. For a red drink, there’s also the bottled pomegranate juice (Pom) that is out in the supermarkets. It looks like we could have a lot of fun developing a Castle Blood cocktail with red stuff. Or green stuff. Whatever. Lichees might work if the onions didn’t taste right. Start thinking of good names for it/them.
