dragoncon_lj_archiveSorry 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.

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.
