At the door registration question

[werewulf.livejournal.com]

I've been reading up on lots of random Dragoncon tips and tricks and a couple of them have said that if you do at the door registration for even the full con membership, you only get the crappy little pin on badge instead of the cool laminated art badge.

Is this so? Several years ago, I also did at the door check-in for Sunday/Monday only and was offered the option to buy the following year's badge at the same time to get my laminated badge for the current year.

I'd be happy to do that again this year, but I really want that good badge, I have my collection *grin* I KNEW I should have bought the badge last year even though I thought I'd be driving the new freshman to college...

Howls,

Volunteers Needed!

[dire-epiphany.livejournal.com]

Hello Everyone,

For those of you that don't know me, I am Cassy Gordon, the Senior Director of Public Relations. One of my departments at Dragon*Con, Signage (you know, the guys that make sure you aren't wandering around room to room wondering what the heck is going on inside?), is in need of a couple (ok, more like 4-5 at last count) of volunteer staff.

The most immediate need is for two people that would be available to work on the two weekends prior to the Convention (August 22-23, and August 29-30) in the Riverdale office typesetting and printing signs, so in the greater Atlanta area is obviously helpful.

It is preferred that you have some sort of graphic design knowledge using Adobe CS3 software (Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop), however we are willing to teach people with great attitudes and the willingness to learn a new skill set!

Your time at the office printing/mounting signs will count towards the overall 25 hours required as a volunteer. If you have never worked as a volunteer of the convention, there is a $20 first time volunteer fee. If you have already purchased your membership for 2009, we will not only waive your first time volunteer fee, but also your transfer fees on your current membership!

If you are interested in volunteering for this department, please email the Signage Director, Jason Mitchell, at signage (at) dragoncon (dot) org, or me at pr (at) dragoncon (dot) org.

Other departments are also in need of volunteers, so if Signage isn't your cup of tea, please email our Volunteers Director, John Bunnell at volunteers (at) dragoncon (dot) org.

We look forward to seeing you all in September!

~Cassy

EDIT (July 22): Jason is out of town until June 27, so please do not be discouraged if he doesn't respond right away.

The Costuming Contest

[lilacwire.livejournal.com]

Hey, everyone, I was hoping for some information from those of you who have competed in the Costuming Contest in the past. As there is very little information up on the website at this point, I was hoping that you could tell me if this is the right contest for those of us who are not presentation-minded, i.e., I am costuming alone and don't want to make up a solo skit. My interest more lies in the documentation and craftsmanship.

When do signups usually occur? What have your experiences been?

Thanks for any and all information!

1 Membership

So my plans fell through and I'm not able to attend even though I really want to.  So I'm selling my membership for $60 plus the $20 transfer fee.  That's $80 total.  Anyone interested?
