Thanks for the welcome and the info, though I'm a tad puzzled regarding the no masks policy?? I was planning on setting up to be a vendor selling MLP inspired costume designs (full mascot/fur-suit style heads and an appliqué patch/cutie-mark , full head, wings and a patch/cutie mark) concept. With a no masks policy even attempting this type of sale would pretty much be a moot point/not worthwhile. I'm experienced with cons through being a concom staffer at a former furry con of the area, and we encouraged costume/cosplay/masks/fursuits what-have-you. I realize that this is Not a furry con regardless of the similarities, and subject matter, but, really no costumes, no costume performance, skits, cosplay?
The no weapons policy I fully understand and have no qualms about, and fully understand, and support! But costumes are so much fun! *erk*
