Crafting Meetup
Sorry I haven’t gotten back to this thread in so long. Anyways, someone on the Alternate History track invited us to attend their version of a craft meetup on SUNDAY morning at 10 am. There is a panel/room devoted to it.
A group of 10 or so met up last year at Pulse, the Marriott’s bar, but there was barely any room to sit- we were at the high top tables by the bar. I think there are some armchairs in the vicinity that we could grab.
I want to gauge your opinions on meeting at the AltHistory panel for crafting or having a separate event. My DC schedule is relatively flexible so I have time to devote to making us visible (a poster, stickers, passing out invites the day before, tshirts, what-have-you) and could put together a separate event, but we’re not guaranteed a workspace.
Sooo… I throw this out to y’all and what interests you more.
Here’s the poll:
1. Alt History panel vs. other space (please offer an idea if you choose other)
2. Preference of Con day (Th-Mon)/time of day
3. Interested in swag? Stickers, tshirts, etc. (It’s easy to get stickers; tshirts may be $5 depending on who I use)
4. Thursday night meet 'n greet to exchange contact info so people can meet new crafters & hang out over the weekend.
I’m really excited about trying this sort of thing. I wish I’d been more proactive about this earlier in the year. I’ll certainly be better about getting things together for DC 2011.

2. Preference of Con day (Th-Mon)/time of day -----I am going to try to go whatever day you choose but I would love to have a Thrursday night meet 'n greet
3. Interested in swag? Stickers, tshirts, etc. (It’s easy to get stickers; tshirts may be $5 depending on who I use) I love swag and I would gladly pay 5 dollars for a shirt.
4. Thursday night meet 'n greet to exchange contact info so people can meet new crafters & hang out over the weekend. I love this idea. A lot of my usually con buddies are not able to make it this year and I just now starting to get in to crafting, so it would be great to meet some new people with the same interest.
