style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Not going to Gulf War, but still
craving something to do? How about volunteering some time at the All CON demo,
March 7<SUP>th</SUP>, 8<SUP>th</SUP>, and 9<SUP>th</SUP> at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel on Midway in Addison? We need volunteers of all types, from
fighters to artists to workers, but especially people who like people! Come pull
a single shift, or come and hang out all day -- just come in costume and have a
good time!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Set up and limited display time
starts Friday, March 7<SUP>th</SUP>, and we need to man our booth inside of the
vendor’s room all day on March 8<SUP>th</SUP> and 9<SUP>th</SUP> during All CON
vendor hours. But you won't be pinned down to the booth for hours -- there's too
much to do and see! Events before the vendor room opens and after it closes are
up to you! If your availability is limited, but you live close or will be close
to the area, consider just helping us set up or tear down. [shameless plea for
assistance!]</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">What we need: arts and sciences of
all kinds, such as costumes, armor, weaving, calligraphy, embroidery, metal work
– well, you name it, we need it….with the exception of food and alcohol. (Food
for our private consumption is ok, but is probably not cool to put out for
tasting.) We also need people to do various presentations and fighting demos. If
you do an art that could be interactive, are a bard or fighter, we can use you
for presentations! You don’t have to be a star Bard, Knight or Laurel
to give interested mundanes a taste of what we do. Of course, we won’t turn you
down if you are one of those exalted few, but what we DO need is people who can
talk to other people about who we are and what we do in a way that will interest
but not intimidate them. Demos are one of our most important tools to interest
newcomers, and you can be instrumental in bringing new people
in! </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR>There are a limited number of
full event passes for those who are strongly committed to participating the
entire weekend, and some single day passes. Please see the All CON website for
full details on tickets or for possible accommodations in the hotel. (This web
address can be limited by some access software...)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">WARNING! Like
many other science fiction conventions, non-SCA participants tend to dress and
behave in a method that can be best described as for MATURE AUDIENCES only.
There is also graphic artwork available in the art rooms and in the vendor
areas. This demo is probably NOT suitable for the young and
impressionable!</SPAN></FONT></B></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If you are interested, please
contact me to volunteer. Send emails to <A href="mailto:alkudsi@aol.com"
__doClobber__="true">alkudsi@aol.com</A>, and please include both your society
name and your legal, mundane name, plus contact information. Phone calls to my
landline / answering machine (972-492-7203) are also fine (but not after 10:30
p.m.), but please speak clearly and slowly (the machine is old and has hearing
problems, not to mention I’m not so young anymore, either!).

first time, and had a lot of fun…and that is what I’d like to make it for you,

too!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
