Kumoricon needs staff and volunteers!
« on: September 07, 2006, 12:28:36 pm »
We know registration sucked ass. We know. We know. We know.

There are several ways we can make it smoother but none of them will matter if we don't have more people on those desks. We need more volunteers to run it next year. Any takers? Please? Without more people it simply will not get any better.

This is the bane of every convention, never having enough people. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could use the infinite power of the Internet to become fully staffed and process everyone at registration in under an hour? (I'll be happy if we can get it under two, actually.)

Anyone who wants to volunteer to spend the time to make Kumoricon bigger and better, please let me know. I will add you to the volunteer usergroup which will give you access to the volunteer forum, and there we can organize you into a lean, mean volunteering machine.

What does it take to volunteer? Nothing! Just the willingness to commit your time and effort to making Kumoricon a better convention.

What does it take to be staff? The same as volunteer plus a little more. You have to be 18. You have to expect to be busy for a lot of the convention. We really need you to be responsible, and be able to attend some general meetings.

Reply to this thread if you want to volunteer or be staff. Be sure to include:

1) Full Name (real)
2) E-mail
3) Forum Name
4) Age (useful for know if you're going to be available after curfew)
5) Volunteer or Staff, if Staff, indicate what position you may be interested in.

If you are uncomfortable posting any of the above information publically, send it to me in a private message and I will see that you get added.

After this year I just couldn't help but want to help out, so here, I'll bite.

1) Jeremy Forbes
2) jeremy_mmz_forbes@yahoo.com
3) antibishie
4) 24
5) I should probably just put myself down as a Volunteer here and not staff.  One of the reasons why I've never volunteered for Kumoricon before is where I work; I'm often barely able to get home to sleep on a regular basis.  I fear that I might not be able to make meetings and whatnot.  Not that I wouldn't want to... but... you know... need the job to buy food and whatnot.

4) Currently 16 (17 as of the next con -.- my bday is in october. So very close to 18, but yet so very far...)
5) I'd love to volunteer at Kcon 07. I'd be willing to do any task given to me in hopes this will make next year rock that much harder XD. The con can always using willing people (as shown this year with the call for volunteers) and I want to help make next year's con experience as good for others as it was for me!

<3's for all of this year's staff and volunteers we couldn't have made it without you all!

Reposting this since we seem to have two or three threads going on for sign up and I want to make sure I'm noticed..

I am willing to be staff again.

1) Valerie Allen
2) valliegirl@gmail.com
3) valliegirl
4) I will be 26 by the time con comes around again.
5) Staff. I'm interested in a few positions.

Registration Manager: I worked with the Registration Desk on both Saturday and Sunday in 2006, so I do have a feel for what goes on behind the desk and what can go wrong. As a registration manager, you need a person who is organized who can deal with whatever issues come up not only during con, but also before con as well. I would be willing and able to commit my time and be accessible to our attendees for whatever questions or concerns they may have.

Info Desk Manager: I worked on Info Desk directly in 2005, and, in 2006, did my best to field any questions as a general staff member that our attendees might have had in passing. I am a person who is able to handle talking with our attendees about whatever issues or question they may have, as well as organizing the information that they will need.

Volunteer Coordinator or Personnel Manager: A huge part of this job is communication and organization. I would be willing and able to keep the lines of communication open to not only reach out to new people that may be interested in volunteering or staffing our con, but also keep everyone organized with scheduling who will be doing what when.

Grunt: As it's basically been my position for the past two years, if you want me to work as a grunt again, I'm willing to do so. Tell me where you need me, and I'll be there.

As a note to my qualifications, my job in the world outside of the con is as a customer service representative. I work very well with people and can handle troubleshooting on a regular basis.

If you have any questions, please pm me, or email me at valliegirl@gmail.com

I can help with registration but I don't know if I can help beyond that. I have to watch my sister since she's underaged and all that crap. But incase you need me:

1) Rachel Peterson
2) minitiger@gmail.com
3) Riza-chan
4) 19 (Will be 20 at the time of the next Kumoricon)
5) Volunteer for registration
Unable to come this year. Sorry guys...

I already posted this in the "Get Involved" forrum, but just so you guys know that I am really serious, I will post it here too. Sorry if thats annoying or anything.

1) Joshua Lee Pardo
2) The_end_of_things_to_come@hotmail.com
3) The Night Bringer
4) 19
5) Volunteer or Staff, I would rather not do Yojimbo but I will if need be.

Back ground: I am a Bouncer at The Escape Night Club so if Yojimbo is understaffed I will do it. I have to help clean the club before and after it opens so I can help with cleaning duties. I can help move heavy things and I am adept at talking to people when I need to talk to them. I am an artist in my free time so I can help make banners and signs or what ever. I am fairly flexible and can do most anything. Let me know if you need my help.

I'll post this here as well.

01. Karla Johnstun
02. kilte_rose@hotmail.com
03. Micardyn
04. I will be nineteen by the time Kumoricon 2007 comes around.
05. Volunteer or Yojimbo.

Volunteering: I'm willing to be just a simple volunteer. Maybe running water out to people at the registration, info desks and to the other volunteers and staff.

Yojimbo: I replaced a Yojimbo during the Saturday in 2006 registration line doing crowd control. I'd actually like to be a Yojimbo and not just a volunteer.

Registration Table: I saw how overloaded the registration table was for Saturday 2006. I'm very organized and quick with paperwork. I'm willing to help with the registration table.

As long as a job is explained to me before I am sent out to start it, I'll be able to perform the job without problem.

Any questions, verifications or otherwise that is needed from me please PM me here, or email me at kilte_rose@hotmail.com

Thank you to all of you who have signed up for Volunteer work so far.  I will be your Manager for 2007, and over the course of the next week, I will be emailing you all to get to know you, and start putting this whole thing together.  

If you would like to Volunteer and haven't yet posted your info here, feel free to do so now, or pm it to me, and I will get back to you asap.  ^_^

This year is going to be awesome, and you all will be a huge part of what will make it great.  Thank you and I'll talk to you soon!

Washougal got a staff reg filled out, I believe, but it will take a little while for them to get fully processed. Be on the lookout for a list of this year's staff coming soon. All of this year's staff will have access to it.

I signed up at the last meeting but decided to post here also.  I also forgot the name (real/forum) of the lady I was talking to at the meeting.  (she is the one deciding what anime to show)

PS.  If you ever need any help fixing the computers when something goes wrong I can help.  I have 18 years expierence working on computers and had worked with my dad in his business before he retired (RPM Computer Repair) and I can also solve any networking problems.

It's either Brenda or Jaki.  Brenda is Nyco27 on the boards, but you can email her through programming@kumoricon.com

Jaki is one of her managers handling the anime stuff, and if you send something to Brenda, she can pass it along to Jaki.

And no, I'm trying to get people to spam Brenda...  I just don't know if Jaki wants her email displayed here, and I don't remember her forum name.  *L*
