<br />
<br /><tt>General Convention Rules-</tt></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><tt>Register with your first and last name, and include your age, especially if you are taking part in a contest.

<br /><tt>Prop weapons intended for cosplay will be checked at registration in prior to entry into the convention and returned during the cosplay</tt>
<br /><tt>and costume contests. All other weapons are prohibited. Remember, we</tt>
<br /><tt>share the library with other patrons who do not know a prop from the</tt>
<br /><tt>real thing, and for the comfort and safety of all patrons we have come</tt>
<br /><tt>to this compromise in order to ensure a fair solution for everyone.</tt></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"><span style="font-size:130%;">

<br /><tt>tournament and other contests. Though the library is open to the</tt>
<br /><tt>public and we want everyone to be able to enjoy the convention, this</tt>
<br /><tt>event is geared towards teens. We don't want any patron to feel</tt>
<br /><tt>unwelcome during the convention, but only the teens will be able to</tt>
<br /><tt>compete for prizes.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Food can only be eaten in designated areas, either in the cafe which</tt>
<br /><tt>is located in the lobby or out in the courtyard. Drinks with a lid on</tt>
<br /><tt>them can be carried with you through the library, such as coffee or a</tt>
<br /><tt>bottle of soda with a cap.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Costumes- The library is open to the public, and this means children.</tt>
<br /><tt>If your costume is inappropriate and shows nudity, you will not be</tt>
<br /><tt>permitted to attend the convention. Also, you may be asked to remove</tt>
<br /><tt>anything that could be considered a safety hazard until the costume or cosplay contests such as chains or leashes.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Smoking and drinking of alcohol is prohibited anywhere on library property.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Volunteers and staff can be found throughout the convention if you have any questions or concerns about the rules and regulations.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Cosplay Rules-</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Cosplay is strictly prohibited outside of the cosplay contest. This</tt>
<br /><tt>means there is to be no improv cosplay in the halls or other areas of</tt>
<br /><tt>the convention. Posing for photo-ops is ok.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>All cosplay prop-weapons must be checked in during registration and</tt>
<br /><tt>will be returned prior to the cosplay contest. Make sure you give</tt>
<br /><tt>yourself enough time to get your props prior to the contest.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>No weapons are permitted, this includes things such as</tt>
<br /><tt>paint-ball or BB guns. You will be asked to leave the convention if</tt>
<br /><tt>your weapon is not a prop.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>*Contestants are given 3 minutes for their presentation. After 3 minutes, they will be disqualified.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Only one entry per group.</tt>
<br />
<br /><tt>Please keep your skit PG-13. If it gets too risque, we may end it</tt>
<br /><tt>early, and you'll be removed from the stage.</tt>
<br />

This is your chance to be part of it all.</span></span>Largo Public Library Teen Roomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15728764378013699443noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981228384040445215.post-64529389936490513862008-07-15T13:10:00.007-04:002008-07-15T13:51:33.455-04:00Metamorphosis Ball<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKzGN1HuoboAxTMP7sbY7FDI5JCQzBo-Lj6J_4rUJiGCMfBxswxV_A28ji6JLf7rHbNT_MP6WmKQkdh8KDh5ZcVOsvrYev5lN9LxX1xhM9zxDt5_QLLIuM-HzOmyKl7IbtZwd0LnnRNSq-/s1600-h/IMG_0521.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKzGN1HuoboAxTMP7sbY7FDI5JCQzBo-Lj6J_4rUJiGCMfBxswxV_A28ji6JLf7rHbNT_MP6WmKQkdh8KDh5ZcVOsvrYev5lN9LxX1xhM9zxDt5_QLLIuM-HzOmyKl7IbtZwd0LnnRNSq-/s320/IMG_0521.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223299247545700514" border="0" /></a>

From make-up, to nail polish, and masks to all things glowing, they lit up the room. They danced for hours, and even convinced me to join in, which is no small feat. Though we were all exhausted when the lights came on, many of our teens stayed to help turn our bash back into a library. If you missed the ball, it's not too late to join us for the rest of our summer reading programs! Sign up online, or come in to the teen room for more details! </span><span style="font-size:130%;">

Every month we'll read the next book in her series. Check back for more details, since you know I like to end a program with a bang!</span></span>Largo Public Library Teen Roomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15728764378013699443noreply@blogger.com
