post-baitcon feedback

[quietann.livejournal.com]

My personal issues with baitcon are in my personal journal; however, there are a few things that IMHO need to change:

• Separate dishes/mixing equipment/etc. for any ice cream product containing meat. There are a lot of people involved who nominally keep kosher, and it's discomfiting to know that one's ice cream might have been prepared using the same equipment as, say, the chicken liver ice cream. (for that matter, I'd just ban meat-containing flavors entirely, but that's not my decision to make.)
  
• More whole wheat (not just wheat, whole wheat) bread, less white bread. We ran out of whole wheat by lunch on Saturday. (this suggestion passed on from Gregorian, who was amazingly polite about it, but still really would have preferred whole wheat bread for his peanut butter sandwich...)
  
• More tarpage for shade protection (may not be an issue if baitcon isn't at Mink Hollow anymore, but...)
  
• Re-reinforcement of the "modest dress" (ahem) requirement in and around the main area. There was one person in particular who seriously violated this. (insert serious snarkage here; I am trying to be polite.) Dancing naked in the rain, as usual, should be granted leniency.

OK, we're all referring to the guy with the small wisp of white T-shirt material around his waist on Sunday, right? I read that as "I would really much rather be naked, but I can't, so I will wear this token piece of fabric". That message assembled from minimal coverage, no care taken that coverage was maintained, and the complete lack of any distinguishing aspect of the piece of fabric in question. The same guy the previous day in a thong was showing more but being less offensive in that the article of clothing he was wearing was actually designed as an article of clothing.

Either nudity is OK with the hosts, or it's not. If it's not, don't try to push their boundaries; they're your hosts, and it's disrespectful.

You say this so much more elegantly than I could...
