Xray the Enforcer Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Is there a donation link btw? I thought there was an old paypal thing someplace...We collect the donations in person. Having cash on hand is very beneficial for the party organizers (in case of last-minute supply runs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd be happy to help with setup on Friday. :) I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Camaris Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Shit, I just realised this will probably be me since Cam will be too busy schmoozing :)That said, I'm happy to do security if needed.Lol just saw that. B*****d :-PI did my duty last year - took one for the team. Was trying to stay sober but had to distract that guy by going and drinking single malts with him to get him away from the party. Was tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, rather just leave it to people to decide?ETA: As usual, you are one step ahead of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm with Curlz, and will also plan to help with setup. Also, I have a car and can volunteer for wandering crow duty either or both nights--whatever is needed. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can also help with security-ID Checking at the door. I do that in my day job already. :) To that end, I can probably pickup some of those tear away paper wrist bands. We can band all those that appear underage. In fact I can get one set for the BWB to wear and one to indicate over 21. eta: I'm grabbing the wrist bands this morning since I'll be by the party store anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiled leather Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can only do what the old and infirmed can do. like last year I'll wait for the vicious shrimp to tap me on my shoulder.

LacyinTX Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can do whatever... but I may not be staying up til all hours if Babygirl comes with me. So early evening - midnight shifts are best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maester Lupo Nero Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The wife and I are attending the Con on Saturday, but might try to attend the party both nights. Hoping that won't be a problem. First WorldCon for us both. Haven't been active on these forums in quite a while but some of the older more seasoned board members might remember me.

Mich Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I get in saturday afternoon. Anything you need at the party feel free to put me in. I'm not picky. I'll definitely be there sunday for clean up also :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xodor Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi you guys,I am new to everything, but I would love to help! I figure that I can either be an Ice Dragon or help with security. I am a relative newbie, but I love the series and would love to hang with people who share the same passion. I am also appreciate recommendations on the Con. I want to attend, but I "Know Nothing". How do I get tickets? When should I go? Ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'll answer these in bullet-points (running around madly to get organized)1) Greetings!2) In order to attend, you'll need to get a membership. You can get them at the door. Memberships can be for a single day (if you're strapped for time/cash) or for all of the days in one go. Con runs from noon Thursday to Monday sometime.3) When to go depends on your interest. The BWB Meet&Greet is on Thursday at 16:00. That is, by far, the best place and time to find us all in one spot and get many questions answered. Our parties are Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the Hugo awards. Here's the program guide online: http://www.lonestarcon3.org/guide/ you can get an idea of how much is going on throughout the con; official programming starts at 9am most days, and ends well past midnight. So, lots of stuff to do.4) GRRM has two signings. One is unfortunately scheduled during the Meet&Greet. The other is on Monday. He has a reading on Friday at 17h. He's chatting with Howard Waldrop on Saturday, and that should be funny as hell. 5) We look forward to meeting you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAx Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Note that if you email yourself that link to the program guide, you can then view it on your mobile phone's browser at the con w/o having to type the damn thing in every time.http://www.lonestarcon3.org/guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Wolf Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm from San Antonio so i can help with wandering crow duties. My mom owns a bar not to far from downtown so that might help. I also don't mind being a door greeter, security or clean up crew. Saturday would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Wolf Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Also how do you become a member? I would like to attend the Friday party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady narcissa Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 A member of the BWB? If you have posted on this board, you are a member. There is nothing further to do!If you mean a con membership, you purchase that through the main con website that I linked for you in the other thread. You generally do need a con membership to attend the con parties. I'm not sure what it is like at this hotel but the hotel sometimes can check for con badges before letting people up in the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parris Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 we've added another signing for George it will be on midday Saturday, check the updated program notes to learn more (because I don't have the info right now, and I'm too tired to look for it).And boy, do we have some great schwag to share this weekend with the Bros and friends!
