About the Great PinataRiders Costuming Guild
The Guild’s membership ranges from the weekend-warrior who can walk away with a trophy on Saturday night because he found a better use for the hotel stationery, all the way up to people who spent the two weeks prior to every Con gluing their fingers together and swearing. As always, one very special thing is held in common among these two types of costumers and everyone in between, a thing we encourage above all else: Having fun.
In keeping with that Golden Rule of Fannish Costuming, a few things were necessary to get the whole guild thing rolling – one being the immediate disposal of anything not fun.
So, an exhaustive effort went into doing the un-fun stuff in the most painless way, and to encompass the least oppressive means of maintaining itself, with no dues, no credit checks, no things politikal to roughen the waters.
In addition, we adopted email, the most apathetic means of communication ever developed, as a main channel for correspondence so members could stay in touch without feeling obliged to.

But no pressure.
