No, this is not a dread pirate curse, but some of the special fare to be served in the Con Suite during Bucconeer. Starting on Wednesday, August 5th, the Con Suite will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. in the Stadium Ballroom of the Marriott Inner Harbor Hotel.
An extra event in the Con Suite will be the Book Swap Treasure Chest. Bring any interesting books and drop them off in the chest, then pick up a title or two. We encourage donors to leave a note with their names and perhaps a few words about their donation. A message board will be available near the treasure chest, so notes of gratitude and other happy sentiments can be left for the donors.
In keeping with the pirate theme, we are going to shanghai an idea from Disclave and hold an International Cookie Conspiracy. Bring a batch of your favorite cookies, donuts, cupcakes, or other baked goodies to the Con Suite. We will distribute the booty as long as it holds out. Those who join the ICC will get a sticker to wear proudly. And, of course, they get a cookie and a thank you!
If you have aspirations to assist in the Con Suite, please send e-mail to vols@bucconeer.worldcon.org or snail mail to the Bucconeer postal address and DEMAND to be added to the Con Suite team.
Oh, and did I mention the Bucky Eyeballs? More on that later.
