It is, and they seem to fit the criteria of an all-era group. Unless they limit membership to the Greater Bay Area? I think the person asking (on facebook) wanted to see if there was a group already established before starting her own. There are a lot with a specific era of focus. -Carol > On Aug 30, 2015, at 10:35 AM, costumrs wrote: > > I believe that is the FB page for the Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild. > Sandy > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone > > Original message From: Wicked Frau > Date:08/29/2015 2:41 PM (GMT-06:00) > To: Historical Costume Subject: > Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook? > That is the official facebook page for this list?

Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook?
I don't think many FB groups are invitation only or require a private request to a moderator to be added. But to post, you do have to join by clicking a "Join this group" button. That said, FB is generally not a venue where long, substantive discussions take place. Its tiny message boxes encourage people not to write anything longer than two lines. You can post a longer message--the box expands to some extent--but many people don't. The other thing about FB is that its basic setup, the culture the company has strongly encouraged, is for people to get torqued about how many people "like" what they say (and by extension themselves), which also does not encourage substantive discussion. Collecting likes is silly and juvenile, but it does appeal to something in human nature. There is no real substitute for Majordomo and Yahoo type groups.

Re: [h-cost] h-costume on facebook?
I don't think GBACG restricts their FB membership to local residents, but they do focus primarily on local events. If you want a regional FB group that includes some discussion of more general costuming issues, there is a huge number of them for different areas. Just look up your city, state, region, and you'll probably find such a group.

[h-cost] Moving
BTW, for the few who are left in h-costume, I just wanted to say my husband and I are cashing in our SF house, which we've owned for over 30 years, to take advantage of the local real estate boom. And we already bought our dream house in the Sacramento area! We don't expect to move in till sometime in the fall. We're having the house painted in Arts & Crafts colors, oak flooring put into the few rooms that don't already have it, and remodeling the kitchen with custom "mission" cabinets. And some fixups here and there. There is a gorgeous garden (almost 2 acres), but we recently discovered the sprinkler system needs to be moved and part of the fence needs to be replaced . . . My sewing room is a huge master bedroom with a separate large room (formerly an indoor swimming pool, according to the neighbors), for use as a closet. There are two other bedrooms plus a guest suite, so we don't need to sleep in it, anyway for a bedroom it's absurdly large. So we are really excited. We also need to buy more furniture, preferably antique, late 19th/early 20th century. Especially more bookcases. So if anyone knows of any great antique stores in that area, email me!

Re: [h-cost] Moving
The seller did a lot of work to prepare for the sale, including a new roof, and we now have estimates for all the indoor work we want to do. So I don't think there will be any more expensive surprises. The other surprises are kind of fun. The house is almost 5,000 square feet (plus garage) and was built in the 40s as a Colonial Revival style. I grew up in an area where there were plenty of real Colonial houses and see little resemblance, unless you count wide hallways, and wide doorways to all the public rooms. It could as easily be Mission, which is more the look we're aiming at. Anyway, there have been a number of owners and each one has remodeled the property in some significant way. We're not even sure how much of the house is original and what was added on or when. We keep discovering things. The other day a painting contractor who came to give an estimate examined the drywall on the living room ceiling. He pointed out there were long patches indicating that the ceiling once had ornamental Mission style beams across it. I'd rather like to put beams in there now, but my husband refuses. There is a family room next to it with an entirely wooden ceiling, massive (probably) nonsupportive beams and all, so I suppose that will have to do. We hadn't even really examined the grounds closely till recently. There are a number of benches and things we may have to do something about at some point.

Really, Majordomo lists are superior except for not transferring images, which people discussing costuming often want to do. I'd assume maybe they can, if the moderator sets it up?

Re: [h-cost] Moving
We're not going to take care of the garden ourselves. The previous owner had a team of two gardeners who come once a week and we kept them on. Yes, there are many large, mature trees. Also an incredibly prolific Meyer lemon tree. A lot of rose bushes but all white. It's more like a landscaped park than a flower garden. It even has an outdoor lighting system for night use. The previous owner didn't obey any water restrictions and the Sacramento water department asked us to cut down, so we cut down 50%. Things are a little droopy now, but would be better if the arrangement of the sprinkler system were more effective. We're going to get some landscaping people to look at the garden once we move in, move the sprinklers or install a drip system, prune some trees, and maybe we'll change gardeners. But that's not our first priority. I want to plant a mandarin orange tree, which should flourish considering how well the lemon tree is doing. I will look into the Sacramento heritage housing for information. 1940s is old for northern California, after all. Thanks for the suggestion. Currently what information we have on remodels is from long-time neighbors. Fran Lavolta Press www.lavoltapress.com On 8/30/2015 2:16 PM, Patricia Dunham wrote: Sounds MARVELOUS!
