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.

well, one of the stated rules is:
"Do not harass, threaten or otherwise treat anyone in a disrespectful or inappropriate manner. Respect property as well - both Baitcon's stuff and the site, as well as cars, people's stuff, etc." http://www.baitcon.org/info.html

i can't as yet find any actual rules on clothing or dress on the baitcon website. it's probably common sense to not romp nude where the general public might accidentally see, but otherwise? i don't know the official stand.

The bit about remaining clothed in front of Mombait seems to no longer be on the website, so maybe it doesn't matter anymore. But it was definitely there before...

It hasn't been for a while.

We've had a bit of on-going discussion about what's appropriate, but we've so far failed to come up with a set of rules. "Naked by the house on if it's raining" seems a bit arbitrary.Measuring people's skirt length is something I don't want to get in to. "Keep your naked (hairy/smooth/shapely/flat) ass off the couches - bring a towel with you" is probably fine. "Wear underwear" is right out. "Street legal" is annoying and again arbitrary.

The discussion will continue.

"Keep your naked (hairy/smooth/shapely/flat) ass off the couches - bring a towel with you" is probably fine.

That's pretty much the rule at naturist/nudist camps. Nudity is fine, but passing on bodily fluids is not.

It sounds like the direction is fairly liberal.
