I'm gonna need minions

So, I kinda volunteered to run the damn clothing swap at wiscon this year. and I plan to be more involved than last time I ran it, since I will be kid free, but I am still going to need minions. Particularly the kind who want to show up early and sort and hang donations. It's fun if you like clothes. You get dibs. We already have our top shelf fashion diva volunteers (famous authors of high style) again this year, but us grunts who hang the clothes get to do a lot of fashion matchmaking too.

In short, I need a couple people before the gathering to hang and sort, some people to keep sorting and hanging and fashion matchmake during the swap, and extra hands to bag shit up for vinnies at the end. I can either drop it off myself or have z do it. These can be the same people the whole time, or shift work, or whatever.


I've already got me, Z and kids, for what help they'll work out to be, so it's not like I need a big crew. I can also grab people on the scene to help, so it's not like if you volunteer you are going to have to commit to a huge chunk of work if no one else does.

and it's fun! It's good for first time wisconners or shyish people because if you are working the clothing swap, people talk to you, and you have some ground to talk to them about, the clothes themselves. and you get to hook cool people up with shiny clothes you see them rock at the parties.

volunteer here! or pm me!

hmm. I'm not sure we actually do have certain author fashion divas, actually, if they're the ones I'm thinking of that usually do it--at least one has told us she isn't coming, and the other hasn't registered, so neither may be coming this year.

One of them sent me an e-mail saying she would be diva'ing, so I hope she is coming!

If I end up going, I will be your clothing monkey. But I still haven't decided on WisCon yet. Will keep you posted.

Depending on what day I come, I'd be glad to help out if I was there. Even though I am shit at fashion.

That may be up to Jess. And our work schedules.
