I talked to somebody over Baycon/FanimeCon weekend about ribbons. I was handing out ribbons that said Fan Boy, Fan Girl, Cheesecake, Sunnydale Visitors Bureau, and so forth. I also handed off some to other people to hand out, for example Kevin & Andy handed out the Gender Outlaw ribbons, and I let the Internet Lounge people hand out Friends of Tux. (Credit goes to "Rain" of ConFusion [the one in Michigan] for the Gender Outlaw ribbon idea.) It's more fun when I can have other people hand out ribbons, although of course it does get a little expensive. (The ribbons can cost up to 35 cents each to order.)
And I told this person -- whose name I've forgotten, and which I didn't write down in my little notebook -- that I'd be putting in another ribbon order soon, and I'd be happy to let them piggyback off my order.
Who was that person? Was it you?

So I submitted Design #1 and two other ribbon ideas -- you're off the hook for that setup charge. Which means that you can get 150 ribbons, and you can still split the order over different ribbon colors.

Thank you big-time! As I've said before[*], "All hail

Date: 2004-09-14 03:25 pm (UTC)If you're willing to trust me on this, it merely remains to decide how to break down the 150 ribbons. Do you want to wear the green-on-green (i.e. cast/crew) or do you want as many people as possile to have green-on-green (i.e. guests)?

Re: EitE ribbons, revisited
Date: 2004-09-14 08:38 pm (UTC)I figure I'd do 25 of the "cast & crew" color, and 125 of the "guests & fans" color. Whatever those turn out to be. I'm more likely, I think, to make the larger proportion the green-on-green -- assuming that the combo is actually readable.

P.S.: I did send mail to chaz, at the hyphenated domain. Did you not get it?

Date: 2004-09-16 04:42 pm (UTC)I was actually thinking of making the smaller number be the green-on-green, as a hedge against the combination not working out. But you can decide when you see them.
Re: EitE ribbons, revisited
Date: 2004-09-16 09:23 pm (UTC)1. The green-on-green is special, and for me (okay, and the rest of the cast/crew types).
2. If the combination doesn't work, I can always wear 1 of each ribbon, for greater legibility. :-D

P.S.: Thank you for mailing those to me! I'll have them back to you well before LosCon, I think.
