Volunteers Needed for VIP Party

This Message Has Been Approved By James Kimball

Do you like comic books, video games, and celebrities?  Are you able and willing to help set up and clean up for a massive (100+ invited guests) VIP party at a fabulous mansion in Philadelphia on Saturday May 31st?  Then, we need your help!

I'm the volunteer coordinator for an "invitation only" VIP party that will promote networking between the worlds of comic books, video games, television and film.  It will be held at a mansion in the Germantown section of Philadelphia.  I'm looking for volunteers to help set up and take down this wild party.  Some of you may be asked to dress in your finest KR costumes and bring your latex weapons so as to introduce the world of Knight Realms to the gathered guests.  The party sponsors include:

• Big City Comics
• NBC10
• Videogame Expo (VGXPO)
• DigPhilly
• World Champion Wrestler "The Smoke"

Volunteers can expect a big bag of swag and other goodies such as autographed comics.  We'll need to meet at least once before the event to get organized.  The party starts at 8PM, so we'll start setting up at around 6PM.  Since they're serving alcohol, all volunteers need to be 21 or over.

I'm sure we'll get a bunch of new KR members out of this event!  Get ready to show off the world of Knight Realms for the gathered celebrities.  If you're interested...

Please feel free to post or PM me with any questions.  Thanks very much for helping out.  This should be a BLAST.

Do the volunteers get to be guests once the party begins, or will they be tasked with serving the event in addition to set up and clean up? The post is a little ambiguous.

We'll help set up, but during the party we get to mingle and have fun (no serving).  Vols will take turn assisting guests finding the bathrooms and greeting and such.  Nobody will get stuck all night doing one thing.  We're part of the party...lots of pictures with guests.  The big push will come at the end of the night when we need to break down the kiosks/tents/etc.  Thanks for the question.

Boo, all of that sounded awesome up until the "you have to be 21" thing. I live ten minutes out of the city and would have loved to help out. Good luck in your volunteer search!

After a closer look at the "rules," the folks in charge have reconsidered!  It was pointed out to them that people as young as 19 are allowed to tend bar, so they've lowered the minimum age to 19.  Any KR members who are at least 19 years old are now encouraged to volunteer.

Please PM James if you are still interested.  Hope you can attend!  Thanks for your help.

That sounds cool and all but.. my costuming sucks and I know it. I gots to think.

When is the latest anyone can volunteer?
