Pebble thats Stubby Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I think we should have cardboard cut outs of every person who posts in this thread and doesn't attend. this way we can still get embarassing photo's to blackmail them with.

Parris Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Awesome :)I predict the BwB Party is going to be both huge and raucous.I"m just wondering where we're going to hold the BwB party because the setup is not very conducive to having a party with free booze and food for 200+. Are the euro-commie Bros planning on going off site? Or will they try to cope with the venue and all the restrictions thereof? Has the costs and options been considered by the people who are hosting the euro-Bros party at LonCon3? (I'm still shuddering at the fiasco in Melbourne; no fault of the con, that was all on the hotel, but a half dozen people helped me scramble at the last minute to find someplace, anyplace, to hold a party. We ended up at a nightclub nearby. Cost us an obscene amount of money and tears and then latecomers bitched me out for the rest of the con because there was a limit on how many 'free' admissions I could negotiate with the night club and I cut off the bar after X amount of booze I was willing to pay for, which was at least 3X the costs of booze at a USA WorldCon Bros party).So short version: plan ahead and have a firm and realistic budget. Plan ahead and have a plan B and a bare-bones budget. Plan ahead and have a plan C and budget based on begging and selling plasma to the local blood bank.

Deedles Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Count me in as a probable. I have bought my membership and will do my best to make some of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedles Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oh, and regardless of whether I can make it, can whoever is hosting/organising the BWB party let me know. I'm willing to throw in money now (or well before the con at least) in case deposits are needed /booze needs to be prepaid etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targh Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Party queriesI have no idea who normally is responsible for this stuff. Do the same bods normally get involved? Some initial questions:What's the average budget per head?Do we normally have bought-in booze or have the venue provide it?Same with food?When arranging a room is it required or polite to try to arrange through the con organisers or just do it all independantly?I called the Excel just now and the person managing the Loncon account is out of the office til tomorrow. I just wanted to get an initial idea on suitable venues and usual arrangements from their end in terms of food/drink etc.I won't be able to take point on these arrangements when it comes to budgeting and everything but happy to get the ball rolling and then hand over and continue to assist if needed.
