Hi TurboCam,
Starting out you might enjoy participating at a book signing event being held at Powell's Bookstore in Beaverton on Nov 14th where I can train you as a Spotter (assist the costume talent in getting dressed, keeping an eye on them while they are in public). We appreciate the help, and gives people such as your self a "behind-the-scenes" look, talking to members about costuming and get pointers too. Typically following the event we go out with the book author for food and conversation as a group and you'd be welcome to come along.
 Here's a link for the event:

Looking forward to your participation in CCG!!

wow! thanks a lot Ancient Fan! :D sadly, the link you posted sent me to a page that said it was either off limits to me or taken down, so i still know nothing about it. :( but that sounds like a great way to get started!
