Backup Project at Arisia!

[shadesong]

Crossposted from backupproject:

The Backup Project has a fan table at Arisia! We will have buttons! And flyers!

All we need is people!

The fan tables need to be staffed as many hours as possible between 10am-6pm, Friday-Sunday, with special emphasis on Saturday. If you can take a shift, please let me know! Many hands make light work and all of that.

Also, does anyone have a stock of leftover buttons or ribbons we can beg of you? I ordered the 100-pack of buttons, but it's a big con, and we'll hopefully run out of those. Next year we will have a whole lot of ribbons, but we'll be short this year.

Also of interest: I'll be running a panel on sexual harassment and assault in fandom at 5:30pm on Saturday, with cluegirl, asim, and sweetmmeblue. And if you have teenagers who attend the con, send them to the teen lounge at 4pm Saturday for a workshop on con safety and social change!

Note: Members of the Gentlemen's Auxiliary totally welcome.

If I were going, you know DAMN well I would be there.

(Mind you, I would also be there if it had been a project to remind/help people back up their computers, so I might just be overly Canadian.)

Trying to see if the finances will allow attendance this year, and even then, it'd only be a day pass. Most likely Saturday. When would you need to know by?

Sooner the better, and Saturday would be ideal - I have four panels Saturday, so that's the day I'm least able to cover the table!

Should know after this weekend - will definitely let you know.

I'll go over the Saturday schedule and get back to you by tomorrow night.

Also, I happened to bring this up in feminist_geeks and another member said she's going to be at Arisia and offered some ribbons. Should I put her in touch with someone?

Yep! That'd be me at this point (and for Boskone as well).
