[ST] Stairwells

[SciFiFanBoston at aol.com]

I think this is a cool idea.  I volunteer the VOLUNTEERS LOUNGE as the  
ground camp for the hikers.  I'll give them a special bottle of water that  they 
turn in at the top to get their ribbon!  How's that sound?  (I'll  just have 
stickers that I'll put on bottles of water that have the Mt. Arisia  Hiking Team 
it or something.)

I  love all these stairwell ideas, and I'm sorry they can't all happen
due to  dang firecodes and all that since I know La's decor would be
fabulous, but  I did realize I never submitted my idea through any
official channels, so  even though it's probably too late, hey, why not.

This is an idea for a  program item that can take place as many times as
the Powers That Be want  to make it happen, and it works both towards the
goal of increasing  stairwell awareness as well as the con chair's desire
to encourage physical  activity.

Summit Mt Arisia!

Meet up by the stairwell entrance on  the first floor (or second, if that
would work better?) and walk up to the  top.  That's it.  You have an
hour to do it, so there's plenty of  time and no encouraging people to
run or otherwise potentially hurt  themselves.  I figure ideally, have
three people staffing the event:  one on the bottom, one somewhere in the
middle (maybe floating around a bit  to encourage people) and one at the
top.  But if needed, it can be  just two, or even one (starts at the
bottom and makes the climb just ahead  of the rest).

When you reach the top, you receive an "I climbed Mt.  Arisia" ribbon!

It can be entirely honor system, or an option is for  the person at the
bottom to give the climbers some sort of token/paper that  would be
traded for the ribbon at the top.

Cost is just the ribbons,  no other set-up or prep is needed, and no
problems should be  caused.   Thoughts?

I can volunteer to run this program item  several times during the con if
the PTB like it.

That's all.   Flame on.

PS: I bet our  geocaching GoH would be particularly amused by this, too.
Eric in the  Stairwell, anyone?  ;)
