For anyone interested in attending Costume College 2009, they have updated their information on memberships. Basically, it’s going to be a lottery, with Costumers Guild West members getting first crack, then a second lottery with all CGW members who didn’t get in the first lottery and everyone else. In other words, if you want to increase your chances of getting in, join CGW before Sept. 1st. CGW sister organization members (Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild and San Diego Costumers Guild) still get discounted pricing, but don’t get in the first lottery.
