For each room, the person running the room is responsible for giving out keys, I believe that even for the suites the max number of keys is four, so unless you can con hotel staff into stating that you 'lost' a key, your best bet is to make sure those going to access the room most frequently have keys or you hand keys off from person to person.
Due to the large volume of people attending I think it is best if each individual room head have the phone numbers of all of their occupants and each of the heads have each others numbers. We can pool this into one large spreadsheet and send it to everyone as well.
Events, Parties, Shenanigans
If you have ideas for things, post them below and I will add them, due to the large volume of people obviously people are free to do what they want and wander as they please, if you want to set up another event at conflicting times, feel free to do so.
Planned Events:
Thursday:
- Meet & Greet @ 7pm in the upper lobby
Friday:
- TF2 Cosplaying @ 1pm on the upper Lobby, meet near the hampster tube to the dealers area, we will capture this control point for a while then make our way toward the dealers area and harass people waiting in line
- The Box Social @ Partycat @ 9pm - Caffeine's room, more 'chill' and don't get too sloshed party
Saturday:
- TF2 Photoshoot @ (Will check sheet later.....5pm?) - Outside, weather permitting
- Partycat 2, the Partying @ Partycat @ 10pm - Caffeine's room, get sloshed, laugh at bad porn, and face plant in the parking lot
Things Needed:
The room head(s) can't shoulder all of the burden of bringing booze/mixers/cups/snacks, so below is a general list of things needed, if you can bring anything post below to confirm. Even if you aren't 21 you can bring something
- Cups
- More Cups
- Cups to replace the cups that Cheese will forget to buy
- Garbage bag(s)
- Disposable shot glasses
- Paper Towels
- More Beer/Booze/Wine/PBR
- Mixers: Coke, Sprite, OJ, Pickle Juice
- Food/Snack Items
[u]- Speaker set[/u]
- Music, preferably a nerdy chip-tunes or game remix montage
General Rules
- Don't be an asshat or an angry drunk, we're all friends, if you happen to know you're an angry drunk, well, then, don't get sloshed
- On that note, know your limit, while Karrde is the friendly murse, and I am well versed in handling drunk people, we'd prefer to not have to be your mother watching you dry heave over a toilet all night
- Only people from brbu, or whom you _personally_ invited are allowed in the party, it is NOT under any circumstance an "open party"
- For someone you invited to get in they must know and at the door state WHO invited them, and that it is the brbu party - "Someone told me there was a party here" is NOT an acceptable answer
- Also on that note, DO NOT INVITE SHADY PEOPLE, we reserve the right to deny anyone entry that does not sit well with us. If you look at someone, and think "I wouldn't let this guy in a room alone with my stuff" then they probably shouldn't be there
- Don't be a dick to hotel staff or con staff, even if security people get uppity, just listen to them and don't make trouble
- Keep 420 in your vehicle and out of the room(s)
- Do not mix 5 Hour Energy and Vodka
Re: ACEN 2012 - Electric Bogaloo, Final Countdown & Planning - zaneyard - 04-02-2012
my number is (920) 320-9262
some of you already have my number.
Also, I'm 90 percent sure that hulk mode is a no go for this year. I'll have to pick up chicks with my charisma.
I can still be the party bouncer though, any of you fucks get too asshattery I'll kick your ass.

Re: ACEN 2012 - Electric Bogaloo, Final Countdown & Planning - Eightball - 04-02-2012
Some of us are planning to head to downtown Chicago on Friday evening (probably around 5pm?) to meet and have dinner with Whendilin, who can't make it to the con. With transit, eating times, etc we should probabl get back around 9 or 10pm.
Re: ACEN 2012 - Electric Bogaloo, Final Countdown & Planning - kaese - 04-02-2012
I'll bring the things that take the least amount of space so after I go shopping and look at my options, I will let you know (probably no pickle juice this time as it's heavy :I)
Also, I'll be there for the slightly awkward Fri morning meet & greet when everyone else has already met and greeted each other.
I'm inviting Beth/Befu again; you should know her from geekkon. Quite the shady individual.

No worries, you're not alone for that timeframe.

This offends my Libertarian sensibilities Â
Also, due to my poor scheduling skills, Silent and I will not be getting in until either very very late Thursday night or more likely early Friday due to me having class on Thursday. Since I've already missed one class due to family issues I can't really miss this one.

HEAR HEAR.
Former hotel staff and former con staff. It's a job, it's not fun, don't make it worse for them.
Re: ACEN 2012 - Electric Bogaloo, Final Countdown & Planning - [fr31ns]Karrde - 04-03-2012
Standing orders: DO NOT MAKE ME WORK! I plan on getting lit for a change and not having to be responsible for something
 Detour was busy enough. Also, lol, Celestia is your friend kaese? Wish I'd known. Only look I got at her was making sure asshats didn't step on her train at the masquerade.
Re: ACEN 2012 - Electric Bogaloo, Final Countdown & Planning - backfire - 04-03-2012
Okay so I ordered my badge weeks ago. Does it really take this long or was something borked. Who do I talk to then?
I'm really not that excited for LineCon '12.
