I have several vintage travel bars similar to this <http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-PORTABLE-PUB-TRAVEL-BAR-TRAVELING-BAR-SET-KEY_W0QQitemZ6266490396QQcategoryZ13906QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>

How about if people each brought something local to share.

Bet you can find some Genessee Cream Ale, and that’ll do in a pinch. Or
Utica Club, if that’s still available.

Iowa’s close enough to Western NY, right?

Ewwww…

There’s a microbrewery right next to the Hotel Fort Des Moines.
Bilgewater it ain’t.

I’m not sure you’re butch enough to drink the Wasabi Vodka, though.

Michael,
I have a nice leather one I got from eBay. My landlord found me an
empty violin case portable bar.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

CC16 was suffering from local blue laws and CC17 from an over-reserved
hotel restaurant, as I recall.

You missed the lot of us sharing a case of wine in the back of the
ballroom 😉

(For those of you who don’t know, CC16 is where Andy and I met, and we
proceeded to consume — with assistance — all the wine he’d packed for
multiple conventions).

What blue laws are you refering to, Kevin? We don’t have those anymore &
didn’t at the time of CC16 either.
Although we did have them when I was a child – many years ago.

Really? We were led to believe that they couldn’t have the bar open, but
that they could serve drinks with meals in the restaurant due to some
odd elements in local liquor laws.

That’s odd, there’s bars right across the highway from that hotel which are
open Sundays, several of them at the plaza & for just a mile or so around.
I think they just didn’t want to be, but I suppose there might be some weird
clause cause they’re acutally in an industrial court which maybe isn’t zoned
for regular liquor sales. The plaza is definitely zoned for entertainment
industries. They have several bars, restaurants & a comedy club.

In Massachusetts, blue laws referred to liquor stores or packies could
not be open on Sunday.
Thank the Martini Gods that this is no more.
Nothing was worse than having to drive to NH in order to get beer on a
Sunday.

Hi, all!

I *just* uploaded all 97 costume photos from the SF, Historical and
Fashion Show/Single Pattern events at Costume-Con 23.

I still have the dolls to work on, and the statistics to include, but if
you want to see our work in progress, go visit:

http://costume-con.org/gallery2/

You’ll also find that CC12’s photos are now online, with the exception
of the Historical masquerade, because I don’t have those pictures in my
possession.

I will be doing the CC23 dolls next.

Then, unfortunately, I’m reduced to scanning again, at which point I’ll
add the photos for CC22 and CC21, and update the images for CC1.

Please note that this is a work in progress. We are still moving the
content from the static pages in the original photo galleries into the
new system. If you poke into a gallery that has no labels yet, you’ll
know we’re still working on it.

Thanks to *everyone* so far who’s contributed to this project! When
we’re all done, Kevin will provide me with the names of our assorted
volunteers, and you’ll be added to our About Us recognition pages as
contributors. (I need to add to that page already, because it’s horribly
out of date.)

More soon!

Betsy

I wish..
This was completely last minute for me.
So no competitions lined up for me.
*sigh*
This is my first time at a CC with NOTHING to be competed.
I may collapse from shock.

If I recall for CC23…

I estimated $2/book for printing/binding 300 books.
The $2 estimate was just about dead on, but we didn’t end up printing 300 copies. Somewhere between 150 and 200 total, including a FREE copy to all participating designers, even if they were not members of the con.

We were printing on a laser printer on an “as-needed” basis, so no leftover copies. Leftover paper and plastic GBC binding spirals were minimal.

Folios were 70 pages (35 pages printed back to back on 20 pound stock), 64 pound card stock front and back covers, 3/8″ GBC comb bindings (borrowed a friend’s comb binder at work to do the binding).

Postage was $1.98 per Folio via First Class or $1.58 via Media Mail. Most went First Class, except to committee members and designers who weren’t attending the con. There were a handful of Folios that went to foreign countries that cost about $3.00 each to mail.

I think the total cost for each book was something like $4.18, including printing, binding, and postage.
YMMV, especially with a larger/heavier book.

Per copy cost?
How many folios did you have left over?
How many pages, and what sort of binding?

Steve and Karen – could you guys comment on your part of the CC22 folio
expenses? I can give a rough estimate of how many were left.

It’s one week until Easter.
Less than 7 weeks until CC24.
Just over 18 weeks to the CC25 Future Fashion Folio Deadline!

Submit early, submit often!

This has been a public service announcement.

Costume-Con now has a MySpace account for promotional purposes. The address
is:

http://www.myspace.com/costumecon

I’m still in the process of putting it up, as Ricky and I have also been
mounting MySpace sites for Castle Blood and Franz Joseph Designs (my dad’s
STAR TREK biz) over the last week.

I hope to get some pics up on the MySpace site that will be a nice blend of
anime, media, historical, and original costumes, so people will be
interested enough to check CC out further.

There are also links to .org and .com from MySpace. The object is to drive
interested parties to the two CC sites, and from there to each of the
individual CC’s.

If any of you have MySpace accounts, please “friend” the costumecon MySpace
account.

We’re hoping this turns out to be a good way to network and get people
interested in CC who may not have come across it before. Sure seems to be
working for Castle Blood!

Thanks!

–Karen

Added CC to my MY Space page.

That’s right…

Someone asked me when Costume-Con 26 T-shirts would be available (we
have a pretty vocal and visible group of supporters)…

And I discovered we had everything necessary to open our own CafePress shop.

Visit <http://www.cafepress.com/costumecon26> to see the early-bird
items we’ve put together so far.

Stephanie –

Did you ever find a good fare to Des Moines? I got an email from
Travelocity this morning with a drop in fares (but, of course, that was from
Atlanta). Might be worth checking out though, if you are still looking.

Hi Trudy!
I’ll check.
I’ve got to book the tickets this week, so hopefully this will be so for Boston too!

Thanks for the heads up!

I think I heard something about a bar, the pool, or some combination of
the two, but I could be wrong… 9-)

I’m waiting to see what Dawn “Kaijugal” enters for St. Louis next year,
but she (if she does enter, nudge, nudge) illustrates the other side of
the coin. Having seen a folio now, she’s very excited about entering.

The folio has the same marketing problem as many Costume-Con committees
do (not promoting well outside the core constituency) but for different
reasons. Because the folios aren’t widely available to new potential
entrants, we don’t generate interest, excitement and new entrants.
They’re widely available to the core constituency, but that doesn’t grow
the competition.

Come spring 2007, our committee is going to have to start sitting fan
tables (I hate sitting fan tables). One of the things that *will* happen
is there will be a stash of folios through the years (we’ve got a
reasonable collection) at the table for people to look at.

Just make sure you keep an eye on them or chain them to a table. I don’t have any folios prior to CC23 because I used to take them to fan tables, and they were all stolen.

Michael,
I just located the extra FFF from CC21. I have plenty of extras. Send
me your mailing address and I will get one out to you in the mail this week.
As soon as I get a count on them, in a few days, I will make them
available to archives, then anyone in this group.
