i'm delinquent again, aren't i?

I have a pile of yarn pr0n waiting to be uploaded (it's a few weeks old at this point, but still -- six months' of FO pictures! yarn haul from trips!), but this post has an entirely different purpose.

As a result of my experience at Phoenix Rising (which was amazing but incredibly busy, as I was 75% of a two-woman AV team), I've agreed to take the plunge and staff Narrate's next Harry Potter conference. Terminus is being held next August 7-11, 2008 at the Hilton Hotel in Chicago, overlooking Grant Park and Lake Michigan. It promises everything we've come to expect from cons -- academic programming, Quidditch, and the chance to catch up with fellow fans -- and some cool new stuff, like a trivia contest and a webcast talk show about the ways HP has affected us all. I'm terribly excited about all of it -- visiting Chicago, catching up with people I'd missed at PR, and watching hundreds of fans interact. I got a little wibbly at the opening feast this last time.

To make Terminus the biggest and best HP conference yet, we're looking for some lovely volunteers to help promote at the upcoming film and book releases. We'll send you some pretty great swag -- postcards, luggage tags, stickers (and a cheat sheet with basic info) -- to pass out to fellow fans at whichever release party you choose to attend. If you're a bit shy like me, it's a great way to get talking with other people instead of sitting and looking around. If this sounds like something you'd be willing to do, drop a comment or shoot me an email at lauren.kent*at*terminus2008.org. We'll be eternally grateful.

(And while writing up this post, I decided that yarn pr0n will happen on Wednesday. *nods*)
