post-baitcon feedback

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.

If the freezers end up being overwhelmed by the thermal mass of ice cream in need of setting next year, would it be possible to set a styrofoam cup of LN2 in each freezer to help them out? I expect that some measures need to be taken to make sure that the pressure buildup doesn't open the freezers by accident or cause the latching ones to explode. I have the vision of farting freezers as the excess nitrogen makes its way out the seals. Also probably any freezer with LN2 in it should be only for ice cream and be off limits to non icecream personel. Hmm maybe only one freezer needs to have LN2 and it could be the 'settting' freezer and batches could be moved to 'storage' freezers once set.

Dry ice would work better for that.

True

but LN2 is what we've already got on hand.
