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.

You try not to touch bread at all or.... ?

You're right -- wonder bread etc is the cheapest, and concom's already spending a lot on providing meal food; the bread seems to be more for snacks and such. At some point the balance needs to happen -- I did see spinach and whole grain tortillas, for example. A few loaves of nice(er) bread isn't so expensive; perhaps those for whom it's important can consider bringing some?

Shade -- Again, I suppose more people could set up their own shady places, but there's shade by the stream and there's shade further in the woods . .. and there's this huge table with shade. Some people in the past have set up their own tarps around the clearing.

Really, with the probable change in site it doesn't matter

And . . . I've never quite known what the modest dress listings were. I myself am not comfortable up in 'family space' not being street legal. Hence the bikini top and the lack of modeling of my rather see through wrap. The only time I've seen full nudity or even bare female bosom up by the house has been during the mudfights in the rain last time.

But I'm not even sure that that is outre; JB seemed to be telling me that the see through top would have been fine.

:laugh: Re the (accidental) instance: I know exactly what you wear under your kilt; did more folks also have utilikilt mishaps? (I had to keep being quite careful that my orange skirt stayed tied on...)
