Anime Boston This Weekend.
Posted by: Rob B (IP Logged)
Date: April 4, 2012 11:25AM

So the week is quickly dissolving into madness (MADNESS I SAY!!)

*cough*
And soon Anime Boston will be upon us.
Schedule for the Dealers Room

Friday 12pm - 7pm - 2 shifts Available
Saturday 10am - 7pm - 2 Shifts Available
Sunday 10am - 3pm - 1 Shift Available

Anthony will que in with the "doors time" for each day that we can get in and set up.

What I'd love is 2 people per shift in addition to myself and Will. That makes sure we aren't chained to the table non-stop.

There will be a sign in/out sheet so we can record time spent. Time spent will be used to calculate your UP rewards later.

Please speak up here if you haven't messaged me already and intend to come along. If you do intend to show up bring your garb, your props and your tude. I hope this will be a great networking experience for our community.

Thanks all!
-Rob AKA Grinner

If I understand right, we'd be buying a $30 day pass to attend, right? Just don't want people to show up and not anticipate that. smiling smiley

If there is a special dealer's pass, I guess our names end up on a list and then we just show up and provide ID?

Anyway, count me in for Saturday. I'm okay with either shift, so let me know which one isn't filled. smiling smiley

Boston is going to be VERY full of people this weekend... it's also PAX East! (Penny Arcade Expo). I hear there will even be a shuttle between the two conventions... should be good times!

There are a bunch if you know where to look. A few that're about 180-250 a night... Though its a ten minute walk or so from the con.

When does the con close on Sunday? I could work the 10-3 shift, but I don't want to pay $30 just to sit at the booth and go home.

Hey guys - I thought I could schedule this despite my other weekend plans, but it turns out this isn't going to be doable. I think I'll run myself into the ground for the third week in a row if I try... I'm really sorry. sad smiley

If there are other such things in the future, let me know and I will be sure to schedule time for it.

I told friends to go, or send their own friends to the table. Don't shoot each other too much.

To Tresh, Nancy, Will, Adam, and Brandon:

No matter how long or short your time at that table, thank you for being there.
Friday to Sunday FI was a presence in the Dealers room... We handed out, literally, hundreds of pamphlets for the game, we told our favorite stories and saw some folks literally giddy with excitement.

We had other larps approach us. Congratulate the game on its return and offer their support to our furthered growth. We had nerds of all kinds gathered round, telling jokes and having fun.

We gathered over 50 emails of people who signed up to recieve more information about casting and playing at future events.

As of last night all of those people have been personally contacted by myself and directed to our facebook and website.

Special thanks to Anthony for getting us this table. And to Derek for stopping by periodically to keep us up to par and for generally just being great support.

You five did amazing. You have my sincerest thanks.

... now I'm going to go order 4 ice coffees... and drink three of them while the lady behind the counter watches in horror...
