1. IMPORTANT UPDATE: TIME Update your calendars! Circumstances necessitated that I move the party up an hour. It will now be from 7pm to 10pm, instead of the previously scheduled 8 to 11. The date and location are unchanged. The NYCC Jim Butcher Fan Dinner will take place at: THE IRISH ROGUE Saturday, October 9th, from 7-10pm 356 West 44th Street (at 9th Avenue) New York, NY 10036-5425 (212) 445-0131 -- NOTE: this phone number is for the venue itself. If you have any questions about the party, email me. --------------- 2. TICKETS There are no physical tickets for this event. Your name will be on a list at the front desk, along with the number of people in your party. This is a SOLD-OUT EVENT, and additional tickets will NOT be available for purchase at the door. Tickets ARE transferrable! If you have a ticket and you are unable to attend the event, you are welcome to give, sell, trade, or ransom your ticket to another person. Just email me the new ticketholder's name and email address (preferably from the email address you gave when buying your ticket, so I can be certain it's you), and I'll make the switch on my master list. --------------- 3. TICKET AUCTION Do you know someone who wants a ticket, but missed the sale? The FINAL THREE TICKETS will go up for auction on eBay in the next week. The tickets will be auctioned off individually. I'll make an announcement on Jim-Butcher.com's news blog and mailing list, the site forum, and the event's Twitter (@JimAtNYCC10) to make sure we reach as many people as possible. Unlike Madrigal Raith, we do accept PayPal! The auction money will go towards covering any unanticipated costs of the event, and any surplus will be donated to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer via "Books for Boobs" (http://lisawalks.com/bfb.php)--fight breast cancer while promoting awesome authors! --------------- 4. FOOD AND DRINK Food will be covered in the price of admission! During the first hour (7 to 8), a buffet featuring four appetizers will be available: Pitas and Hummus, Sliders (plain, cheese, and BBQ), Quesadillas (some chicken, some veggie), and Buffalo Chicken Wings. During the second hour (8 to 9), a buffet featuring four entrees will be served: Caesar Salad (with chicken and without), Fried Chicken Sandwich, Shepherd's Pie, and Penne a la Vodka. Afterward, folks are given their choice of dessert. Beverages, however, are NOT included in the ticket price. Fountain drinks and mixed drinks cost extra. The venue includes a well-stocked bar, and the bartender will be happy to make you the drink of your choice. We'll have a special menu of Dresden-themed drinks to choose from, as well! IMPORTANT: Do you have an airborne/contact allergy to the foods listed here, or any other food sensitivity we should be aware of? Email priscellie@gmail.com TODAY. --------------- 5. TRIVIA CONTEST Brush up on your Butcher, because we're going to have a trivia contest! Upon entering, attendees will be given a quiz sheet. Those who score the highest will take part in a Jeopardy-style game. There will be one game for Dresden and one for Alera. No conferring with your friends, and no summoning spirits of intellect! --------------- 6. COSTUME CONTEST The event will play host to a costume contest, as well! Dress up as your favourite character from the Dresden Files or the Codex Alera and show it off to an audience of appreciative fans! Costumes will be judged on creativity, attention to detail, and how much they make us squeal with glee! Prizes will be awarded to the winners. We ask that folks don't bring excessively bulky costumes/props due to limited space at the venue. Change out of your 12-foot-tall animatronic Voltron suit before you get here. --------------- 7. WEAPONS POLICY The weapons policy mirrors the policy of New York Comic Con. Paraphrased from the NYCC website: "The following items are FORBIDDEN at the event:
Basically, don't be an idiot. If you bring a prop that could maim, damage, or cause serious bodily harm, we're going to take issue." You're not going to want to miss part of the party when we make you drop your replica of Amoracchius at your hotel before you're allowed through the doors. --------------- 8. SIGNING POLICY New York Comic Con provides ample opportunity for fans to get Jim's autograph. Therefore, we ask fans NOT to request autographs from our Guests of Honor at the dinner. Exception will be granted for the winners of the Costume and Trivia Contests, so Jim can personalize their prizes. --------------- 9. FRIENDLY REMINDER Remember: Be courteous! There are a lot of folks who are hoping for some face time with Jim and our other guests. Don't try to monopolize them. We're all here to have a good time! --------------- 10. TWITTER Get updates on the party via Twitter at @JimAtNYCC10! Rest assured, any vitally important announcements will be made over email. I just don't want to clutter your inboxes! Your hostess with the mostess, Priscilla |
