I'm packing up now and will be taking off for Costume-Con in the morning. Of course, it's just a half-hour drive for me, so I figure I'm leaving later than a lot of other people!
Who will be there tomorrow? I expect I will be looking at the exhibits and dealers and hanging out in hospitality during the afternoon, maybe taking in a panel or two, and will be at the Friday evening social at least long enough to scope out the costumes. I will be easy to spot; for both afternoon and evening I will be wearing a very silly version of my Gothic fitted dress suitable only for Costume-Con (consider it an in-joke for the historical costumers), and will be accompanied by a tall long-haired gentleman in a coordinating outfit. If anyone from h-cost sees me, please introduce yourself! A reminder to those who have a one-day membership for Saturday, or for that matter anyone else in the neighborhood: Friday attendance is FREE (except for the social, which will cost $5 if you go to that). So if you're in town, come on over for the afternoon and get the chance to cruise the site and people-watch. (If you're going to my lectures on Saturday, you won't have much time to check out the dealers, etc. so Friday would be a good day for that.) One-day members: I believe you should also be able to pick up your Saturday membership materials on Friday, saving you valuable time in the brief period between when the registration desk opens at 9am Saturday and my lectures begin at ... um ... 9am Saturday. OK, I'll start a little late to allow for the one-day-trippers to get their paperwork and badges! People not attending the con as members may also come for the big competition stage shows (the "masquerades") on Saturday night (f/sf) and Sunday night (historical), for $5 at the door. Well worth seeing. Info here: http://www.cc25.net/start.htm Remember that if you're registering at the door, bring a checkbook or cash. And yes, there's still room in my Saturday lectures for last-minute attendees. http://www.cc25.net/netherton.htm Forward at will... --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
