BlueRose Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 My fiance and I will be there! It's two weeks before our wedding... but screw it! I'll just have to be very organized. We'll be arriving late Thursday night and leaving Sunday. Is anyone coming to Seattle first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There looks to be a group of about 8 or so coming to Seattle first (in addition to Seattle BwBers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frisco Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There have been murmurings about something like that. I was also interested in the 1000-foot slip n slide that's coming to Seattle on the 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRose Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm going to the slip n slide I think! If anyone wants to come, that's awesome! PM me about beers, early Seattle people, and we can trade numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 OK Sasquan Hive Mind, despite my years of lurking both here and Con communications, I haven't gotten a sense of something very important. Are there any wardrobe requirements other than comfortable, summer in Spokane, lots of walking clothes - and maybe a swimsuit? For example, is there an expectation for any dressier events? Are there costumes? I'm sure most people "Come as you are, or who you want to be" - but it's good to know what the usual types of events are. (I saw mention of bathrobes and PJ's - something that the BWB does...? Only the cool kids in the BWB?) Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

It seems like at all times, comfy clothes are appropriate and most common, but some people dress pretty for parties or the Hugo ceremony. And there are scattered people in costume, and there's a masquerade. Pretty sure the Davenport has a pool, and if you're wanting to come on the Spokane River float trip on Thursday, you may want a bathing suit or shorts/tank top and some closed-heel shoes you don't mind getting wet. Bathrobes would not feel out of place, either. Neither would tiaras or fursuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 SSW, The most exotic thing I've worn at Worldcon is a tee-shirt. The fanciest a lawyer suit for the Hugos. There is no obligation to engage in Cosplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 There is also no obligation to dress up for the Hugos, although a number of people do. Purely personal choice. Most BWB aren't much into cosplay themselves, but cosplaying at the party (or anywhere) is totally fine, if that's your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks!!! Would you kindly let me know about the masquerade? Is it traditionally like Comedia Del arte, or 17th century ball type, or just whatever costumes with masks? OR...? This is all very helpful. This is really helping me figure things out. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If you're going to be there SSW, please RSVP in the stickied thread. That's where we're keeping official headcount. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Ummm, my name's there - 12th from the bottom. Do you need something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That list is a year old (copied from this thread) and a number of people on it may not make it to Sasquan. Thus, yes, I needed current corroboration that you're actually going to Sasquan, rather than just chatting in a thread about it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's a trap! Once your name is in BOLD in the headcount thread, it's all over. You're going to get some unenviable BwB party job like "Pod Wrangler". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Unenviable? Are you kidding me?!?! How is that not the FIRST volunteer job taken? I'll request my name to be bolded and italicized if it means I get to spend the whole con blaming Pod for my behavior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salome the Persian Witch Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Forgive the double post but I'd like to thank the kind soul who took pity on my shocking and embarrassing ignorance and contacted me privately to let me know the masquerade is the cosplay competition. I have the feeling this is just the first of many humbling lessons for this trip. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Valley Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 SSW, I'm already out on the West Coast to visit my family and have packed pretty light. I'll reiterate that most of us dress for comfort, jeans and tshirts. I brought a couple of dresses for hostessing. I group costume a day or two with a couple of the others. I also packed one really nice dress for the Hugos. Pajamas are just handy for having roommates, for mixed company in the rooms at odd times, for running back and forth after you thought you were going to bed, for getting a decent cup of coffee before you try to work out the shower, or for relaxing after a hectic day. In addition, once I turned 40 I decided I'd wear my bathrobe whenever I damn well felt like it. Turns out that's actually a lot more often than not.
