| Memoiral Day Weekend | Red Lion Hotel, San Jose |
| The San Francisco Bay Area's biggest science fiction and fantasy convention welcomed GBACG again this year. All day Saturday and Sunday, GBACG members staffed a lively table near the Works-in-Progress room. Our table was piled high with colorful flyers for all our upcoming events, brochures detailing our history, Costumer's Scribe newsletters, the Great Pattern Review handout, and 8 years worth of photos and memorabilia from our events. | |

GBACG presented two days of costume displays. On Saturday we had three lovely Regency gowns near our table and in the Works-in-Progress room we displayed two original Medieval costumes from the Franco Zeffirelli film Hamlet (1990). On Sunday we had a four-costume survey of the 19th century with gowns from the late 1840's to the late 1880's. In the Works-in-Progress room we displays six elegant vintage gowns from the Titanic era. |

Kyrsten Mate makes an adjustment to the display of 19th century gowns. Kyrsten is wearing a 1780s polonaise. The best hall costumes were, once again, the Klingons. They had the most ornate, well-constructed outfits featuring the ridged foreheads, platform boots, prescription eye glasses incorporated into the headpiece, a leather dress made out of a thrift store coat, and finally, the Klingons in Black. |
