I know you're in the sun, I know you're close to everyone

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?

About the quantities and colors involved: I'd recommend forest green and gold for one of the styles, and emerald with green printing for the other. Looking at the samples I have here, I think that would come off looking truly spiffy.

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)?

I do, in fact, trust you; nonetheless, I am very persnickety about shades of green: I don't like them too dark, too drab, or too "army". %-} I'd like to see the samples, if I could.

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?

Can't find it. Doesn't seem to be in my inbox with a "From" of anything starting with E or Z. Try again and put RIBBONS as the subject line...

My little packet of green samples goes out in today's mail.

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.

Smaller number be green-on-green: ooh, actually, I think that's a good idea, for two reasons.

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.

I'm moving forward with 25 green-on-grreen and 125 gold-on-darker-green. Order will go into the mail at the end of the day unless you CALL ME. (714-20-MANGY)

Did the samples arrive?
