[solarcat]

(Please check out the General Information post, and ask your questions there! This post is for registration comments ONLY.)


graphic by the lovely janicechess <3

Registration is now OPEN. Registration will CLOSE at 11:59pm EST on Friday, February 13. Registration has been extended; it will CLOSE at 12 Noon on Sunday, February 15th!
So tell all your friends, and get them over here before the registration cut-off! =D



Just to refresh everyone's memory:
Date: March 27-29, 2009
Location: Marriott Courtyard Downtown Philadelphia hotel; Philadelphia, PA
(Remember, do NOT book your own room!!)


Registration Fee
The reg fee is $20.
Please pay via Paypal if at all possible. Payments should be sent to solarcat05@yahoo.com. PLEASE remember to note your LJ username in the comment box when you send your payment!!

If you need to pay with a check, please note this in the "Payment" line of the registration form and message or email me for my address.
This registration fee guarantees your spot in a hotel room (if you need one), and goes to pay for the con suite, munchies and beverages for everyone to share, and a pizza party on Saturday night. Receipts will be available upon request--NONE of this money is going into my pockets.

How do I know I'm registered?
Once I've received your payment, I will reply to your comment and confirm that you are registered. ^^


The Registration Form
Please include all this information!!

Name: (This is just your LJ username, or whatever you'd like to be called. We aren't pre-making nametags.)
Age: (Just indicate that you're over 18 or over 21, if you don't want to give a specific age)
Sex: ("Yes, please" is not the correct answer.)
Location: (Where are you coming from? Doesn't need to be specific, this is to help everyone arrange carpooling/ride sharing.)
Staying in the Hotel?: (Choose [Yes, Fri/Sat], [Yes, Sat] or [No])
Payment: (Choose [Paypal] or [check]. If paying via check, email or message me for my address.)
Anything I should know about?: (Food allergies, other considerations? Feel free to just say "yes" and email me if you'd like to keep the information private.)
Are you willing to be a Room Coordinator?:
Room Coordinators are responsible for making the hotel reservation for their room, and will receive specific information from me about how to do this. Requirements: Must have a credit card, as this is required to reserve a hotel room (fyi: it will NOT be charged until check-out on Sunday). Must be willing and able to communicate and coordinate with your roommates to arrange payment for the room and other logistics. As the general coordinator, I will be available to provide help and support, but RCs have the primary responsibility for their rooms.
Any roommate requests?: Is your best friend also a Merlin fan, and also coming to MiniMerlin? If you want to be assigned a room together, work that out together before you register, and note each other's LJ names here, and we'll make sure you stay together. ^^ Otherwise, rooming will be determined using a complex algorithm. ... Okay, not really. XD
If there is someone you would rather NOT room with, please email or message me with that info. It will be kept confidential.
Your Merlin OTP? Okay, yeah, this one's just for fun. XD



Any Questions? Please direct any questions my way, via the General Information post. This post is for Registration ONLY.

Location: Richmond, VA
Staying in the Hotel?: Yes, Fri/Sat
Payment: check, my email is ras.elased_star at yahoo dot com
Anything I should know about?: No food allergies, but I do own a dog, and his hair gets everywhere, so if somebody's super allergic to dogs they probably shouldn't room with me if it'll bother them. (Although I'm allergic to dogs, too, but I just take medicine for it. And wow, how would you like my LIFE STORY now?) *rolls eyes at self*
Are you willing to be a Room Coordinator?: Probably not, unless it is a DIRE EMERGENCY. I get twitchy when my credit card gets involved...

Your Merlin OTP? MERLIN/ARTHUR ALL THE WAY, BABY! ♥

ETA: I just paid with paypal, since it appears I'm a horrible procrastinator and would never actually get around to mailing the check in a timely manner. But I just realized I forgot to include my LJ name with my payment! /o\ So, if you're confused, that would be because I'm a dumbass. Sorry! :(

[solar-cat.livejournal.com]

Hi hi! It's not a problem. I got your payment, so you're all set. ^^ The name thing is mostly so that if, say, four people register around the same time and only three send payment right then, I can keep track of who's who and who's sent what. So there's no trouble at all. \0/

Also, I'll probably try to bring at least a few bottles of alcohol (because, dude, drinking game?) and my camcorder (because you just know that at some point, *somebody* is going to break out the "Je suis LOSER" door tags *g*).
