Hello, my lovely MiniMerliners! \0/

We have only a week to go before our fantastic and wonderful mini-con kicks off, so it's time to sum up the details and put the finishing touches on this shebang!

First off, if you've missed any of the other MiniMerlin info posts, here's a handy quicklist:

The General Information Post
The Registration Post
(Note: Registration is closed.)
The Transportation Post
The Parking Info Post
The Room Assignments Post

Got all that? Great! Let's move on to the fine print, shall we? =3

How Can I Help?
Several of you have been so kind as to ask this question, and now is your time to shine! (Depending on your ability/availability!)

We need people to help us stock the con suite with munchies and beverages!
Philly natives would be very helpful here, but if anyone is driving in and can bring a flat of water bottles or a twelve pack of Coke or a bag of Tostitos or some Oreos or Chex Mix or apples or bagels or whatvever, that would be fantastic! But please refrain from bringing things that need to be refrigerated, unless you plan to bring the refrigerator! We are like Bradley--we are not allowed to have milk!

If you're interested, PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST with what you're thinking of bringing and an approximate budget. (Please don't buy anything until I give you the greenlight!! I don't want to show up at the con and realize that twenty people each brought $50 worth of junk food and we don't have enough in the budget to reimburse everyone!!)

Bring the receipts for whatever you buy with you to the con, and I'll reimburse you. I'd prefer to do this by check, since that provides a paper trail for anyone who ever questions the use of con funds, but if you prefer cash, just say so--I'll just make you sign a little piece of paper saying "SolarCat totes paid me $X for this stuff I brought to MiniMerlin" and we'll be good. (But do forewarn me, please! I don't really want to travel with hundreds of dollars in cash, so if you want cash reimbursement, please say so now so I can plan accordingly.)

We need a Vid Show!
Please go over to our Vid Show Post and link me to your favorite Merlin vids! I already have a LOT of Merlin vids for us to watch, the vast majority of which are Merlin/Arthur in nature. Do feel free to link to anything, but Gen, Femslash, Het and Other Slash vids aren't very well represented on the current list, and I'd love to have a few more for variety, if they're out there. <3

solar_cat! you cry, How are we to know where the con suite is if we are not staying in the hotel??

Well, I will be posting an announcement when I arrive and book us into the con suite on Friday evening, so check back to this journal (my personal journal,

solar_cat; the post will be public). If for some reason you are concerned that you won't have internet access, it would be best for you to write down this number:

(810) 964–6778

This is my cell number, and is at your disposal for the weekend of MiniMerlin. If you have hideous problems with just about anything related to MiniMerlin, feel free to call and I'll do my best to help you out. It's a bit like using your Phone A Friend lifeline to phone several hotel rooms full of your friends, all of whom have access to Google. ;D

PLEASE DO NOT TEXT ME. For one, I hate text messaging. And for another, text messages hate me back. If you text me, there is no guarantee that I will get the message before the Monday after the con. ^^;; Calling is infinitely preferred; if for some reason I don't pick up, leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
