Live in the Pacific Northwest? Attending KumoriCon? Got a maid or butler outfit (or are able to pull one together)? Want preferred seating at convention events? Good, I’ve got a deal for you!
KumoriCon is taking place in Portland next weekend (Labor Day weekend) and is seeking additions to its Maid Squad (of which I will also be a member part of Saturday and all of Sunday). Those who volunteer will get a special pin as well as preferred seating at the various con events. And Kumori has some great guests this year, including Dark Horse superstar Carl Horn, Robotech creative director Tommy Yune, Girl Genius creators Kaja and Phil Foglio, and Real Life comicker Greg Dean. Oh, and did I mention the Slants? (And preferred seating?)
Being in the Maid Squad entails basically helping out guests, at least as far as I’m told: you might hold someone’s place in line while they run to the bathroom, bring water to congoers awaiting an event or hanging around, or help someone find the viewing room they’re looking for. But you DO have to have your own maid outfit (and I think butlers are acceptable as well). And you do also still have to pay to register for the con.
But I also think it’s going to be really fun. I’m looking forward to participating, anyway! (Which reminds me, need to have my apron starched.)
Any of that get you interested? Be sure and e-mail Alexandra to volunteer!

@Slim: Well, let’s look at this logically.
- I said that in order to volunteer for Maid Squad you have to have a maid outfit.
- I am volunteering for Maid Squad.
- I also made mention of having to get an apron starched.
Now, do YOU think I have a maid outfit? ;)

Hmm, never volunteered at a con before. I would so do this if it was a closer con.

[...] I’m looking at you, convention-runners who are curious about the concept): as I mentioned before, the Maid Squad is basically just there to help out. We kind of function as the polite, friendly, [...]
