Masquerade News

For all of you cosplayers and costumers out there, be sure to check out our updated Masquerade page for all the info on our Saturday-night masquerade. We also included information about our Hall Costume Contest, which you can participate in whether you’re in the masquerade or not.

We can’t wait to see all of your great costumes this weekend!

Volunteers

Calling all volunteers! A number of people signed up to volunteer during the registration process (thank you for that!), but we could still use more helping hands throughout the convention weekend to check badges, manage lines, provide help to our attendees, and more. Interested in helping us out? E-mail our volunteer coordinator Roger at roger.consoleroom@gmail.com to let him know! If you’re interested in volunteer in a specific area, please let Roger know and he will try to accommodate those requests (note – he may not be able to match every volunteer with their preferred volunteer tasks). You can also sign up in person at the convention. Just stop by Registration at any time and let them know you’d like to help out as a volunteer and they’ll direct you to Roger.

Thank you!

CONsole Room 2014 Silent Auction

We’re excited to announce that we will be hosting a silent auction at CONsole Room 2014! Our friends at the Geek Partnership Society will be running the auction, with items available for viewing on the 16th (Friday) and for bidding on the 17th (Saturday). The winning bidders (who can pay with cash, check, or card) will be able to take their item(s) home on the 18th (Sunday). All proceeds from the silent auction will go towards furthering the GPS mission, which you can learn more about by visiting their website.

Although we have a number of items for the auction, we could still use some more, especially Doctor Who-related items. Have something you want to donate? Contact GPS at silentauction@geekpartnership.org with the following information:

  • Item information – basic description and estimated value
  • Donor information – name, address, and e-mail

Thank you in advance to GPS for doing this!
