Volunteer for the All State Party 2008
Send an email to Brenna at
brennatx@hotmail.com to volunteer. Send name, email addy, position and whether you want to help or be the coordinator. Coordinators will be selected by February 1, 2008. If you don’t have experience, volunteer anyway, and we’ll help you connect with folks who know what to do or just think they do. If you don’t volunteer, you will be drafted.
1) Registration- Sit at the door and welcome guests. All money goes to Lin; I forgot why.
Vending- Set up and take down vending area. Contact vendors. Monitor vending. Encourage wanton spanking throughout area.
Carpool Austin- Coordinate car pools. Discourage hitchhiking. See “Catering” - only do it with people.
Carpool Houston
Carpool Dallas
Mentors- Sponsor new folks who would like some help. Promote an environment in which we appear normal. Don’t introduce them to Tubaman early in the weekend.
Sorority Dorm Room- Organize single ladies in the dorm room(s). Those who do not wish to share a bed, pay half of the room. Collect the money and give it to Lin.
Transportation - Pick up and drop off folks arriving by bus, train or plane, preferably near their arrival and departure times.
Refreshments– Select, purchase and display refreshments in the hospitality room. Coordinate with Lin who has a Costco card. No, I don’t know why Fred would let her have one.
Decorating- On a shoestring budget, we need a 1920s schoolroom for Friday night and a speakeasy on Saturday night.
Mixer Friday Night- early- Create and conduct the meet-and-greet that enables everyone to spank, be spanked, and make new friends. This event sets the tone for this Roaring Twenties weekend.
Catering Friday Night- If we have enough money, we eat after the Mixer.
1920s Schoolroom Friday Night- late- Set up, select faculty and conduct large group role play. We will be using only questions/exercises that would be presented in a grammar school in the 1920s (in the US). We need people to come up with stories, songs, games, etc. from the era.
First Aid Aide- This is a legitimate position held by somebody who doesn’t think Capusin cream in an open wound is a good idea. The decision of the First Aid Aide is final, so this is the one position in which the person actually has to know what he or she is doing and must be available by cell phone, which we can provide. We can run shifts if we have more than one volunteer. No uniform required.
Saturday Events- In preparation for the Saturday night spankeasy, we need volunteers to teach casino gaming, 1920s dancing, etc. In addition, this is when we traditionally have demos before the party.
Catering Saturday Night- Select, purchase, deliver, set up and clean up the dinner which will be from Lin’s Italian restaurant, because she holds the money.
Roaring Twenties Spankeasy- This is the big event for Saturday night. We need volunteers for the large group role play- Casino, Dance Hall, Bar, Entertainment. People are going to be spanking throughout the Speakeasy, so it is not a time for observing like the schoolroom role play.
Roaring Twenties Bust and Court- Think Untouchables. Yes, the Spankeasy will get busted and the miscreants charged with whatever it is that people in speakeasies got busted for in the 1920s. I’m not a researcher, but this is going to be our large group Kangaroo Court. This is a great place to volunteer if it’s your first time.
Roaring Twenties Info- Collect, coordinate and post websites, movies, music, ideas, etc. so that folks can read up on the Roaring Twenties, get help with costumes, learn some of the jazzy phrases used by mobsters, etc. in preparation for the best All State Party ever.
If it’s one thing we do well, it’s play with others. We need all spankos to volunteer, including folks who have not attended an All State Party before. Use the information at the top of the page to volunteer. Thanks, Brenna
