I'd be a techie as I work in a theatre... and am in the tech class...

But I can't lift 40 lbs and I'm not 18. ;.;

I'm a pro at spot-lighting (I never want to do it again, ever) and I have little skills here and there~ but I pretty much can't excel much in anything. My friend rocks at light board, she's almost better than the TD himself.

What company do you work for?

Tech for Fanime is nothing like stage work.......SJCC = union, you don't get to touch much.

I was getting paid to do theater in 2000.....I could tell the diff between new style and old style twist lock in the mid '90s.......dang I'm old...

Edit: And that's why u wanna join Reg:)

I am interested in staffing or volunteering (I was talking to Antonio Eco about doing so at Yaoicon).  I have a few health problems though, so I'm not sure if I would even be wanted for staffing.   Also with me being my cosplay group's booking person for the hotels and such, I'm not sure how rooming would work, as I'd like to be able so socialize with my friends, but I know I'd need to dedicate most of my time to the con.
Also, if I were to staff, and have a friend would like to staff, would we be able to work together, or would we be separated most of the time.
I'm a good go-fer,  if nothing else.

It would really really really really depend on which department you wished to staff for..

Being a plain volunteer would offer you more flexibility in hours, but less in duties. Staffing would allow you to choose your department, and therefore your duties (assuming the department head would take you), but be a bit less flexible in hours since staff are required to work a certain number of hours to fulfill their staff obligation.

Although discounted rooms are usually offered for staff, it isn't necessary for you to take advantage of that. If you'd prefer to stick with getting a hotel room with your cosplay group, that's certainly still an option.

As for working -with- your friend, it would depend upon where you were staffing and what the duties required of you. Some departments, such as registration, everyone pretty much works in close proximity to one another. Other departments, such as mine (panels), often require you to be on your own for a stretch while you're monitoring a door. (I actually try to pair my staffers up when I can, but this isn't always possible.)

I don't think there is any task we can set you, whether staff or volunteer, and guarantee that the two of you can stay together constantly, unless one of you were staff and the other were not... in which case the non-staffer might in some cases be free to hang about so long as they didn't distract you from your duties.

I can't say whether your health issues would be an issue without knowing what they are, so I won't comment on that. That'd probably be something you should discuss with the dept. head of whatever department you decide to apply to. ^^

You're much more likely to get invited to one of those departments if you approach them directly rather than making a random post on these forums which they may or may not see. ^^

[email protected] would be the way to contact the heads for graphics/web, I think... and marketing@fanime for press/marketing.
