Re Costume Con and Masquerade Photography: A Very Short Rant in Return

[kproche]

Lay off of Costume-Con.org's ONLY volunteer. She can only publish what all the different groups that put on all the different Costume-Cons give her, and the fracking World Wide Web DIDN'T EXIST when we started putting on Costume-Con.

The Costume-Con web archives are in FAR BETTER SHAPE than the WorldCon web photo archives. Oh, wait -- there is no single WWW WorldCon photo archive, because every single WorldCon is put on by a different group.

If you want to see it better, help me finish the database engine to rebuild it.

Rant done.

Remember what the CC archivist's life has been like for the last year, between the ICG board/newsletter issues and basic RL stuff with having a baby in the house and a very rambunctious something-year-old

Actually, no, I have NOT been able to remember stuff of which I was not fully aware of in the first place. I can't recall ever meeting or speaking with her, which would cement such things a lot more in my mind. In fact I had forgotten that the Costume-con.org webmistress / Betsy D. were the same person.

(Trading stories, I do know what it's like to have new baby and a rambunctious 3-year-old and a twice-a-day 1hr roundtrip commute to a 4hr pre-school (had to go home & work while kid was there), and be working on building the original ImageCraft website while battling serious post-partum depression all at once.)

But she's quite free to snag that source of that page and post it up - the costume-con.org links all work too, as I gave them the full URL.
