As many of you know, I am in charge of Artists Alley at Anthrocon. We operate a little differently than most Artists Alleys because of the Pennsylvania tax laws – we perform all sales transactions at a central cashiers table, collecting sales tax on each purchase, then at the end of each day pay all the artists back, less the sales tax. This year promises to be the largest Artists Alley we have ever had at Anthrocon; while we are getting upgraded equipment for cashiers, this means that we are in critical need of more staff (in addition to the excellent folks from previous years who will be returning).
How does it work? Well, I need at least four hours of your time each day (this can be adjusted according to your desired schedule, though). In return, you get:
* Free admission to Anthrocon
* A free Anthrocon 2009 T-shirt
* The right to pick up your badge and registration materials in the peaceful calm of the Operations Office, far from the madding crowd of Registration
* An excellent staff dinner on Sunday night of the convention
What a deal, eh? If you’re interested, you can comment on this post or drop me a line at alley-2009@anthrocon.org. Also, if you know of anyone who might be interested, please point them my way! Thanks.
Stand by for Pingback.
I’m interested! I may be able to convince Steph to help out too. 🙂
Please excuse me while I squeal like a little girl. Eeeeeeee! That would be awesome. Thank you!
I have apparently sent in your direction. I vouch for him.
thats a fun job ^_^
You already have my soul…
Well, naturally 🙂
Alas: I would, I really would. But I’d only end up sleeping under the cash desk and gnawing on the dealers’ tables. And getting across the Atlantic is also non-trivial in my current circumstances (such a long way to swim).
That’s certainly understandable. Though I could think of a couple of dealers you could gnaw on too…
If you manage the swim, I’ll give you a backrub, in addition to hugs and friendly greetings and a meal.
ah you know me, if Takaza doesn’t have me behind a locked door the entire convention just ask.
Chanur.
And believe me, I’ll be fighting him for your time 😉
