I'll make sure to bring something specifically for you, then, and be happy to do so.

Hi everyone! I just joined the army today, though I've been meaning to for about a month now, and I'm currently doing everything I can to get to ACEN since the male VA trio will be there. It will be my first time getting to meet them if it works out. As for things we can do at the con what about doing the flyers at random times but also the business cards when people are coming in for a panel? Or would that be a bit too obnoxious for the rest of the con goers that have no honest interest in joining?

Ok I just got a letter from sin - i don't have time to respond to it now so if you want me to say anything to her just say the word! =D ok so here's the e-mail: Hey hey,
Alright, still no word from Travis. Last year, he ended up calling me at con to get everything set for what we did...I do hope this year he gets back to me sooner... ^_^
If you guys want to do a just Skirt breakfast/dinner, that'll be simple. Adding Travis is tougher. His schedule was hectic last year, I know, and when we finally got him out with us, it was a pain to get somewhere to eat because there's nowhere really good in walking distance, and arranging driving is such a snafu! I'll see what he says though. At the very least, I'm sure he'll meet with you guys for pictures and whatnot. ACen usually keeps its guests pretty busy.
As for the other activities, those all sound awesome. See if there are any friendly Skirt/Rangers who you can collaborate with to get some of these things together. And don't be afraid to get the Armor Army involved! When I get our function room space set and our master schedule, I'll let you know if any rooms are open and see if I can snag one for you.
As for Aaron...you may have come to the right person. One of my best friends, Janna, is close friends with his mother, Beth. She's an absolute sweetheart...I know I'm going out to dinner with her Saturday night, and I think she and Aaron might be coming with to dinner with me and Janna on Thursday night, as long as they've arrived early enough. He's really good about meeting people, so I can ask if he'd be willing to meet with you guys too...I'm sure the AA is planning something for him. And Laura? Seeing as her and Travis are dating, I'm sure I can just ask him if he'd like to bring her, I guess.
Thinking of this, actually...this would probably work best if we could get the MSA, RR, AA, and whatever other groups to all meet at the same time, and I'll see if I can get Travis, Vic, Aaron, Laura, and Caitlin to all come meet with us. Scheduling could be hell, given all the panels and activities they all attend at different times, but that's worth a shot... I'll get to work on that.
Ok, hope I helped! I'll let you know if I hear anything back from Travis. Keep me updated!

I wasn't going to go to Acen this year, but once I found out Travis and Vic were going I decided to go. Last year I didn't have many things for the VA's to sign, so I did a bunch of drawings and had them sign those. I can't wait to do that again this year. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of it.
Please let me know if we have a meet up. I didn't find out in time last year and missed out.

Wow you guys have a huge thing going on. Rock on! Dinners and get togethers. Start scouting the areas. Check the areas to see who takes reservations and who doesnt. This will help you out a lot and make you look cool all at the same time. If you are going to an area that does NOT take reservations still call that place and give them a heads up. Especially if the group is 10+ people. That way they know you are coming and all will flow more smoothly.
Getting a hold of travis is always difficult. Keep Myspacing him and eventually he will get back to you. Last week he was in puerto rico and really didnt respond to anything. Now that he is back he may have a little bit more time on his hands to get back to his skirts.
TAKE LOTS OF PICS!!!! I want to add more skirt pics to my entrance slide show that I do at panels.

Do you guys have a panel scheduled? If so then I need the time and date to post on the Website to draw more peeps. If you do have a panel then I would suggest printing out about 100 copies or so of the MSA enlistment letter to hand out at the panel. Travis' drink of choice is Gentelman Jack Daniels. Sin is going to be extremely busy with her Con job. If she is in constant contact with you I will be amazed. Being on Staff myself it gets pretty hectic. If Travis Hasnt gotten to you by the time you check into your hotel leave him a message at the front desk. The employees will deliver it to his room or leave it on his hotel phone. If you catch him running around hand him an enlistment flyer with all the information reguarding dinner/meetups/ or what not. Leave YOUR contact infor. phone and hotel room on it. Or ifyou catch him and it looks like he isn't being fan swarmed then you might be able to score some one on one time to talk to him. Its all about tact and not bugging him.

Hey Guys. Here is a message straight from Fuhrer's mouth or rather keyboard reguarding his scheduling.
Actually Shannon, I am not sure if I will have extra time for a panel/dinner this year. I am going to be pretty swamped with some activities away from the con - and between my time doing that, plus all of the stuff with Acen already, I may come up short. I encourage you guys to do something together, I'm just not sure I can make it out this year. Thanks, and I'l let you know if something changes,
Travis
There is it guys. Now DO NOT get discouraged. You will still see him all weekend during con hours. he still wants you to do a panel and dinner with everyone. Just realize that the other fangroups have policies and proceedures that they comply with inorder to put their functions ie. Dinners, panels, and meetups together.
As it is stated in his response if something comes up for free time he will contact me and we will schedule it in. Remember he IS trying to break out on to the silver screen and get his onstage acting career on the move. He is beyond booked.
Last but not least just concentrate on getting a panel submission, who is going to run it, What material you will need to cover, and who all is going to be "Staff" on putting a dinner together if you choose to continue with the dinner.
I am here to help coach you guys through it.

I can help you organize stuff if you want. I have no idea where any restaurants or anything is around there though ^^;; but I can try looking some stuff up online if needed. And I'm all for organizing some kind of tournament/gaming thing, if we can ever decide on what to play.

I can help out with the mass feeding. My mom's a reference librarian, and I'm sure she'd be willing to help, even if it is for us skirts..
