I remember a tie for Best in Show between the Diamond Fairy and someone else (perhaps Dior by Vogue), but I'm honestly not sure.

Indeed there was a tie for Best in Show between Dior by Vogue, 1959 and the Diamond Fairy.
There was also a Best in Show-Documentation for Notes on America's Favorite Pastime.

Castle Blood gave an award for theme to Madame Guillotine, among others. The Killer B's also got something that I can't recall. I thought there was a Best in Show for each category in addition to the overalls, but I just remember the elements that were highlighted.

Are the awards posted anywhere, or is that asking for too much? Does anyone else recall other specifics my addled brain forgot?

Sunday of CC27 was fun, even if I didn't get there until 1pm, I didn't leave until almost 11pm, so $4/hr of enjoyment.

For dinner I was graced with the wonderful presence of: silverstah , chargirlgenius , trystbat , sarahbellem , demode , seekatesew , lindseyerin37 , angldst (briefly- she was packing to go), jubilima , and of course the Supreme Court Judge of costume fashion, attack_laurel . (Oh, and since I was taking notes, I got tasked to post this list of impressive women.)

I was lazy and put on my super-bright pink wig with some pink Roman and went in that. I got a Hall Costume ribbon at the registration table, which was a bit surprising, and yet I forgot to get someone to take a good picture of me in it. I changed after dinner into the Snow white wrap dress, but again forgot to photo myself. Eh, I was there to observe, not be observed (as much as the pink wig screamed LOOK AT ME!)

I did get some fun time really hanging out with silverstah  and chargirlgenius  in their fabulous 15th Century gowns, which was a refreshing change from SCA event. They, obviously looked gorgeous. I had a fun visit with kass_rants  at the Reconstructing History booth, chatting and being silly, even if I did get to give nq3x  a bit of a shock in saying hi. (hee hee!) I also got to see Drea and stanci and chat with them some, although apparently it was too late to catch Drea in costume.

Some observations:
-CostumeCon doesn't seem to be really suitable for daytripping. Take note all ye newbies like me who might be local to the next one, it was fun but is obviously making for a late night, and I gotta work tomorrow (eep! today)
-It''s okay to pack hand projects, as there was a lot of sitting and chatting that could have been good embroidery time.
-Posting of schedules online would be key to letting local folks know the value of full attendance.

And now that my set of photos on Flickr are done loading, I'm off to bed. I just wish they were better in quality, as I hate my flash and have a crappy zoom. Ah well, fun was had.

Seriously folks. Is there a schedule available anywhere? I've combed the site, and there are parties in the ConSuite mentioned, but aside from the Sunday designation for the Historical Masq, and that one party starts after the Masquerade or 10pm, I got nothing.

Sigh, guess I'll show up sometime on Sunday, plan to stay late-ish, and try not to worry about it. I'm also thinking of maybe coming up Saturday night after 6pm, but I guess we'll see. Depends likely on how terrible the allergens are for MD Sheep & Wool. (I like having a schedule planned out, even if I don't stick to it. This is hella frustrating.)

Right now I'm thinking of Sheep and Wool on Saturday during part of the day, and possibly Saturday night at CC27. Sunday, most of the day at CC27. Alan's decided to skip Crown, so he can watch the pup and do whatever he plans to this weekend and I don't have to plan a day care or returns home to check on her.

Or I could skip the Con and stay home to nap and embroider... hmm...

PS: Is this level of planning for a CCon typical and it's expected that folks just show up and stuff happens, and I just have unrealistic expectations 3 days before an event?

So, I've got plans to go to a day of Costume-Con27 held on the first weekend in May. I've hopes to hit MDS&WFest the other day of the weekend. Since I'm only planning on attending one day, I figured getting a membership isn't worth it. (Or are there other perks to membership?)

So first of all, I can find no schedule posted for the weekend (even a rough one) so I can decide which day to attend. Do you have to be a member to get the schedule? I know I don't want to miss the historical masquerade. (Okay, thanks to some digging I found that the Historical Masq is on Sunday, but what time, I haven't a clue.) I'm sure many other veterans will let me know what other areas/activities are not to be missed. But how does one go about finding a schedule of activities, classes, etc. for the event?

Second of all, I've never been to any Con, much less a Costume Con. So the big question is, what to wear? If I only plan to attend one day, do I need to pack multiple outfits and plan on changing for the fun of it? Will there be changing space if you don't have a hotel room? Is this another "just toss on some garb" event, or do you have to go crazy? I'm half tempted to not wear any of my historical stuff and just plan on the Sabe Decoy outfit (assuming some tweaks to the hat, and creation of a black under-layer) or my Snow White from Halloween. I'd also consider pulling out my wool 1890's Walking suit, which I never get to wear, except that it is wool in MD in May. I guess I could always tweak something Roman into something more costumy with ease.

Obviously I haven't signed up for any of the parades or competitions, I just want to come and hang out, look around and have a good time. So I guess, despite the plethora of information on the webpage, what can I expect at my first Costume-Con
