Gah sorry about that - have now set it so replies will auto go to the list! Anyway the idea in terms of tickets is that they will be badges much like game cons with the colour setting them apart - weekend is one colour, friday another etc. Having under 18s a different colour means 8 different types of tickets which is doable. Intending that the registration desk you must provide some form of age identification - then they wear the tickets and it avoids having to show your passport or whatever to everyone! Yeah 14 sounds like a good age to stop at - means we have Under 15s, 15PG, 15's, 18's certs right? Yeah cool your on the quiz group :) Anyone who wants in just say so!

Documentary & Youths
by AMS Committee 29 May '05

29 May '05

Right first thing to actually mention is that pazuzu has taken another of the anime group jobs - so only 1 more left there. Ok so another cool thing has happened - a group over in the USA are doing an anime documentary and are intending to come over to europe to continue the documentary and want to go by EirtaKon as their first stop in Europe :) So they will be interviewing some staff and attendees, filming and such. Another point has arose... what age limit should be imposed on the convention? Most UK cons run as 16+ but thats mainly due to insurance Im told. Well DCU handels that so we just have to consider what extra work that means for us. Thaed has volunteered as a Youth Leader if we are going to allow under 16s to attend. One thing that comes to mind is that while we will be having certs put outside the showing rooms we will also have to have seperate badges (tickets) for the youths to make it easier to see who and who shouldnt be at a showing. During the day the bar will be closed except for the showings so they are fine there but all the night activites will be strictly 18+ anyway. We could have a show go on if we want and some staff dont want to help out in the pub quiz etc :) Thoughts?

We need Ents group quickly for competitions (i.e. fan-art, fan-fic. Advertisments should be made soon as well, setting dead lines and all that stuff..) Con book editor will have to include these points - not to forget Con rules, maps and signs! - overview about events, happenings on the stage, workshops,... - for all the animes and videorooms a clear table in the middle of the conbook is most handy (listing times, rooms, titles, eps.) - if competitions, quiz or else is going on, terms and coditions, dead lines, who is in charge,... - opening hours for con, canteen, dealer's room and so on - faq Also "Hang a big schedule where every helper can be listed for when, where and what needed in the staff room (not to forget helpers who kept be free for jump in here and there). Have a couple of reliable other "main helpers", who can be asked and consulted by any other, specially new to the subject helpers." Definitly being done :) Everyone will be shown the staff room and there will be this list plus list of events timetable on whiteboard, also all the packs for the showings - copies of the movies/episodes and the rating which will be hung somewhere - will be placed in here. When a show is set that your over viewing you head in, grab the pack and set up the room :) And finally some other cool news! Arts Magic Dvd is another sponsor for us and will be giving us dvds to give away as prizes and possibly some extra cool gear for the goodie bags :) Anime Crash is also sponsoring us and are allowing us to screen their anime PLUS will be giving us never before seen stuff! Finally some previews :) They also offer a large selection of Live-Action stuff which could make up some of our stuff. They are also looking to dig out stuff for door prizes and goodie bags :D Anyone have any contacts in companies that could help us? Hoping to also poke Game and such companies to see if we can get some anime ps2 games or whatever to give away etc.. Also I've been pimping EirtaKon in as many forums as I could see them being usefull - if you see somewhere good that has not been done before waffle and spread the news :) John -- ________________ / \ [===={ Anime & Manga }====] \______Soc_______/ [] Register at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~ams

Jobs!

24 May '05

Right exams are over and its time to get EirtaKon really moving! For those who do not know we have had to move the convention back to November 11th to 13th (Friday - Sunday) So first things first - the main jobs :) Registrations - 1 This will contacting people about payment, keeping the list of members up to date and also mailing out the con packs. If people wish to cancel you will be the person they talk to. Once the con starts you will be General Staff. Stands - 1 Main contact for the dealers and stands. You will arrange the setup in the main hall. You will contact the dealers and keep them abrest of the recent developments and help them out when they arrive. You will have a few people helping you during the con to help out all the stands - you wont be alone :) Publicity - 2 A very serious job as advertisment will be the main part of the con for the next few months. Two people are needed to post about it wherever possible, contact stores and see about putting up posters, contacting libraries, video stores etc Getting the name out and about! During the con will be General Staff. Tech - 1 Very busy job - have to be able to fiddle, and fix :), projectors that stop working..sound systems.. pcs to projectors, laptops to projectors - whatever really! IF stuff breaks we need someone there to help us fix it. Will be a normal staff for most of the time but will be called upon if others cant fix stuff. This is really to lets us have someone to call on instead of grabbing whoever is nearest. Anime Programme - 3 Ha the 'real' job :) This group will be responsible for organising the anime, getting the permissions, schelduing the anime and being called in when something isnt playing. Will be working throughout the con on this! Event Programme - 2 Anything non anime related more or less! Setting up the times for the fan dubbing, talking with DCU Games Soc, DCU STOCS, anyone organising little events on their stalls. The raffle, pub quiz etc. Alot of people will have input here but these people run it. For instance everyone can say what should be asked in the pub quiz but these guys stand up and do it :) Conbook Editor - 1 Get articales, nice pictures, put the adverts in nicly etc :) Good english required - so Im out ;) Will be general staff for the con. These are the main parts I can think of, anyone know of any more? Reply to the list or email ams(a)redbrick.dcu.ie if interested in any of the parts. They may seem like you need knowledge of whats happening that hasnt been on the list but dont worry - we are a group and everyone will have the info from now on ^_^; It will become rather more active now! Also the General Staff part! I think we now have enough to have people working one day - though if they want to help out more not going to stop them :) General staff encompasses more or less everything! Standing around and helping, sitting in showings that you want and calling someone if something goes wrong, helping to set up and take everything down, supervising games, the quiz etc.. everything :D Thoughts?
