Harry Potter @ Baitcon?

[whuffle.livejournal.com]

Hey thespian, what's going on with the idea to bring Harry Potter books to Baitcon? I went to Pandemonium last week like a good doobie and pre-paid for my copy....

edited as the people called! ;-)

I need you to contact me *tonight* with your real name, to put you in for the special orders for the book.

If you can't call me at the store, 617-547-3721, please post your name here; I'm screening responses. But we're *really* close to being out, and several people haven't contacted me to pay to make sure there'll be a copy for them. I have heard from Donna, Benji, and Laurel, Tamar, Liz O., and Rachel S.. Ben had preordered at the store but I can't find if you've paid (the other copy is mine, and I have heard from myself)

Also, if I've *missed* you (and I might have, I was out of email for 5 days and got over 3000 pieces while gone), and you've paid or preordered at the store, I *need to know* your real name.

There is no more time on this. If people don't follow up, I can't get a full sealed box, and no one can have one if I don't have 10 orders.

weegoddess; Amelia cancelled out, so her copy is now yours, but I need your name. I know you can't call, so if you could please post here, that would be best. If payment is a problem, I'll cover it and just bring cash to pay me back.

Directions, Rules, Ice Cream, etc.

[kimberlogic.livejournal.com]

Information about directions, arrivals/parking, ice cream, and rules have been added to the Info page
at www.baitcon.org Directions & rules will also be sent via email to the addresses provided with your RSVP. If someone else RSVP'd for you, they will be getting the email.

If you are attending, you should (at a minimum) review the Info page, Directions/Arrivals, What-to-Bring, and the Rules.

If you are planning to make ice cream, you should review the Ice Cream pages. Given the large number of attendees and our goal of ensuring that every person (who wants to) gets to make a flavor, we have increased our dairy order and our supply of LN2. Additionally, there will be some new guidelines for making ice cream. While this information is listed on the website, the Ice Cream Crew has asked me to specifically mention here that:

*All new flavors will be limited to a smaller batch size.
*All flavor mixes must chill for 4 hours before being frozen with LN2.
*To avoid chaos around the tanks, there will be a sign-up sheet where you'll claim a timeslot for freezing your flavor(s). Bring your pre-chilled mix at the appointed time and we'll freeze it!

The Ice Cream Crew reserves the right to limit the number of flavors each person can freeze if necessary because it is important that everyone (that wants to) gets to make a flavor and that we don't end up with 180 flavors and no place to store them. If you are considering making more than 3 flavors, please give the ice cream folks a heads-up via the email address listed on the Ice Cream page.

This year, we'll be trying something new to help better identify ingredients/potential allergens
for attendees. When you are ready to freeze your flavor, you'll be asked to list the ingredients on a label that will be affixed to the container. This label will also include check-boxes for ingredients such as nuts, meat, seafood, etc. Flavors containing those things will be served
a separate table with dedicated serving utensils. Items used during the mixing/making of those flavors will be thoroughly cleaned to help avoid any cross-contamination.

If you have any questions, please contact JB or me ...

See you soon!

almost straightened out.

Ok. I have gotten the Potter books almost settled.

whuffle I need you to call the store and pay for the copy for silverbackbutch. It is under your name, if anyone seems confused, you've paid for one and are now paying for another; they're both in the system.

If any of you are in touch with sichling, she's the one person who hasn't made arrangements to pay for the book at this time. This isn't a problem; we have 2 more people who will buy it, it's not going to cause anyone any problems, but I need to know if she's either paid or preordered at the store and we've not connected over it.

I don't know how to get in touch with her, though I left a message on her lj, the most recent entry was over a week ago. So if any of you are in touch with her, please ask her to contact me. Thanks!

Anyone have a freezer?

[jbsegal.livejournal.com]

Baitcon's suddenly down a freezer.

Does anyone have one we could borrow?

We're very much hoping to not have to rent anything bigger than a minivan, so a reasonable sized chest freezer would be best.

Also, someplace around Boston, or on the way to NY would be best, but we can talk about other locations.

Let me know...

Thanks!
JB, and a horde of ravening ice-cream eaters. :)
