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.

I do actually have one very simple suggestion: the con should acquire one of these (http://store.yahoo.com/suppliesroom/hmlmm3.html). As much as I appreciate the sacrifice that Crash and Sharon's vocal cords made for the cause, it was mostly a lost effort, and I know for sure that a lot of people didn't even have the faintest clue which flavors were heading in the directions of which tables.

I'll happily chip in 50% of the cost if someone else will ante up and the concom agrees it would help.

WRT to the mystery flavors... have we tried masking tape and a permanent marker, or does that complicate cleanup too much?

Some of the yogurt containers did have masking tape & marker on them; others had index cards. Not sure of the rhyme and reason.

In actuality, Bait used the PA system the band had set up for announcing things, but it was chaotic and impossible to follow. I had no clue where anything was, and just sort of wandered around finding maybe the one flavor I had picked out of the noise.

I found the call/echo of Crash and Sharon jarring and incomprehensible. One caller, one voice to listen to, one way of saying things. Not "Blue, French Vanilla!" and "Vanilla, Blue table" and "French Vanilla, Blue!" and any other variations possible.

Not to mention the whole 'pink' 'red' fiasco. Lets just confuse things further.
