Next month's meeting is mandatory (sigh) for table sign-ups for WonderCon. Just letting everyone know that (if you haven't been already) to keep checking the WonderCon website for updates on programming for panels, special guests and autographs, etc., so you can determine what you want to do and see and when you can put in time for the SFFF table during WonderCon weekend. We'll be signing up for time slots you could man the table. We're only asking for one person to man the table each hour instead of two, and with a phone list at the table, whoever is at the table can call someone for a bathroom break or something (and can call if they'll be late!). At least an hour or two per person is a great help, and the more who do so will allow everyone to see and do other things around the con!

http://www.comic-con.org/wc/

The programming schedule is usually finalized about a week or so before the con starts. So please come to the meeting knowing what shifts you can do based on what you want to see and do. Hopefully, we can get enough coverage, so I won't have to cover no-shows and unclaimed shifts. Otherwise, we won't have a table next year. It's too much work for me for something that not everyone is willing to do once a year, and with my new Rebel Legion responsiblities now, I need even more help from you guys to keep SFFF going.

So what place and time is good with everyone? Metreon? Tanforan? Presidio? I can even throw out the option of (weather-permitting) the 6th floor terrace of the Inter-Continental Hotel on 5th & Howard where I work.

Metreon or the terrace of the hotel you work at now!!

Looks like the mods fixed the banner problem--I can get here from the fan force shortcut, but not the main page yet.

Matt - what sign-up options will be available for people who cannot attend the "mandatory" meeting? I assume that there will be online sign-ups as well, but I wanted to clarify since your earlier post makes it sounds like one has to be at the meeting for this.

After checking the programming schedule, e-mail me with what shift(s) you can do, and I'll pencil you in for those times before I present the remaining slots to the rest of the group at the meeting.

I'll do my best to make it to the meeting, but I have a lot of things to get done before WonderCon. A costume for Joan, clean house for my guest, and prepare all the signs and gift baskets for the raffle and coordinate other stuff in regards to our table at the convention. It's a ton of work and I have a bad feeling I'm going to be swamped that weekend pushing to get it all done. I'm not being a flake, I do a ton of work for both of our clubs and that cuts into the social 'meeting' time unfortunately.

Totally understandable, Kathy. I feel your pain. lol. When it comes to being in a club, its about stepping up to the plate and sharing your talents for the benefit the group, not just standing by and letting others do all the work. Your hard work is NOT going unnoticed and appreciated!

Maybe you can ask some people in RL to help you with some minor things, like getting supplies, making copies, etc. to ease the burden a little. I wouldn't want you to burn yourself out before the con even happens!

If you can't make it to the meeting, let's make other arrangements to bring me some of your stuff to put in my car for setup.

Kay_dee,

Wish I lived closer so I could come over and help you! I have publisher and powerpoint on my computer so if you need signs made up, email me the text and I'll make them, if that helps.

Just E-mail me the text and I Will make it look cool. That way I can take them off your hands. I would be more than happy to do this .

Also if you have pics of what last year's postings looked like that would be great too.

Okay.
As to location, it would depend if Saturday or Sunday.
Suggestion: Saturday at Metreon.
or Sunday at Tanforan.
Time would be the same for either day depending on vote.
I probably can attend depending on final vote.
Thank you.

Sundays I can't do as there is no bus service to BART from where I live.
