lithera | HALLO OUT THERE!

I have gotten a party room reserved for NorWesCon.

This is actually happening. I am throwing a Con Party.

There are a few things I will need help with, those of you on my LJ friend's list who go to said conventions. (Or if you go to Cons and aren't local but have experience with these sorts of things...)

I have approached some of you for various things I will need help with - if you can do them, awesome. If not, I totally understand. There are plenty of crazy plans I come up with that don't end up happening and I will not hold you to commitments you made loosley six months ago.

1 - Floor. There is a CRAZY damage deposit on this room. I don't blame the hotel in the least but this means I need some help on figuring out how to protect the floor and yet make sure that it is dancable. I would love to put like plastic on the floor but heels and plastic is bad. If anyone has any idea about how to make a quick customizable dancefloor, I would love to hear them.

2 - Drinks. I need drinks that are good and mostly inexpensive to make as I'll be making a LOT OF THEM. I have ideas about vodka and Kool-aid but if anyone has any more specific ideas, please let me know. CODY! Do you still have any crazy awesome cherries left? I would be willing to buy them off of you for this - or I'd be willing to buy materials for you to make them with. Let me know! (I also have Christmas prezzies for you. We should get together.)

3 - Music. I think I have this covered. Andy, are we still good with this?

4 - Bouncers. I know a lot of big strong men out there. I also know a lot of smaller vicious guys to. Anyone willing to check IDs and generally watch people? I'm not expecting this to be totally crazy or anything and the room is smaller than the lakeside ones (those were all taken) but I still need probably two door guys and one inside guy. (Possibly to help with drinks too?) I'm sort of winging this because I haven't done it but I'd rahter have more than I need than not enough. I will make sure you get a T-Shirt! Holly is helping me by desgining things and posters and we'll get t-shirts and... just... STUFF!

5 - Not thinking of. Anyone out there have more experience with these sorts of things than me? Is there something I'm not thinking of? Is there something you would do that I've not mentioned? Is there something I /have/ mentioned that you think is an awful idea? HELP ME OUT PEOPLE!

This will be quite an undertaking and as always for these parties, I am looking for financial backers. We're going to be relatively new to this thing, so I don't think I can seel t-shirts at the parties just yet but, hell, I might well have them around just because. We shall see. If you want to help - awesome. If you'd rather not and you will be at the Con - come to the party once I know where it is. I promise, there will be posters at the time.

I ONLY HAVE FOUR MONTHS! AHHHHHHHHHH!

Thank you.
