DRAGON CON PARADE NEWS: IMPORTANT - NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE - PLEASE READ THIS!

[taknflyte.livejournal.com]

Hi All,

We have come to the part of our program where I start begging people to do the following (Caps for emphasis, not screaming):

1. IF YOU ARE PART OF A REGISTERED GROUP, DO NOT SIGN UP INDIVIDUALLY. :)  Your space in the parade is already secured through your group's reservation. If you have done so (signed yourself up as well), that makes for a duplicate reservation and very likely takes the space away from someone else. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP so I can release the space for another potential participant. Email me at dc_parade (at) dragoncon.org.

2. IF YOU HAVE NOT YET REGISTERED BUT INTEND TO AND WANT TO ENTER A VEHICLE (car, truck, bus, float or other large motorized something), CONTACT ME FIRST TO DISCUSS. We are currently skirting our max on vehicles and I now need to review all vehicles of this type. Motorcycles, mini/go carts, bicycles, people powered vehicles and the like (things that can be staged with marchers) are still okay to add without prior discussion. Email me at dc_parade (at) dragoncon.org.

3. IF YOU REQUESTED MORE SPACES FOR YOUR GROUP THAN YOU REASONABLY BELIEVE YOU'LL END UP NEEDING, JUST TO BE SURE (and I know, it's early in the year), LET ME KNOW HOW MANY SPACES YOU COULD POSSIBLY RELEASE. Also, as the year progresses, if there is a change in your status (need to cancel or reduce your estimate, etc.) - please let me know as soon as you do. Email me at dc_parade (at) dragoncon.org.

4. REMEMBER THAT ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE DRAGON CON MEMBERS BY PARADE MORNING AND BADGES MUST BE DISPLAYED/WORN DURING THE PARADE. If you weren't clear on this and are NOT joining Dragon Con 2015, you definitely need to give up any space you've already reserved in the parade. Email me at dc_parade (at) dragoncon.org.

Thanks everyone! :)
