REPORT
We had our first Division Heads' meeting with most DHs in place on
March 8 at Mary Dumas' home. Discussions were held on hotel situation
at the time; possible mailings to current and/or prior Arisia members
either by snail mail, email, or both; parties to be run, in particular
the one Tem hosted for us at Lunacon; staffing issues - see above and
the website for a list of open positions; and some work on the
timeline leading up to the convention.
Tem reported that the Lunacon party "was a huge success", decorated on
a St. Patrick's Day theme. Our Artist GoH, Dave Seeley, was at the
party for a long time and charmed everyone. Feedback from the party
included comments that the Art Shows and Masquerades held at many
conventions are "from a bygone era" and need to be changed to make
them more interesting. Also, people had good things to say about
Arisia's Con Suite and the diversity of Programming this past year.
Many thanks to Tem - and we encourage more people to work on the
Arisia parties at other conventions to get a different perspective on
our convention and people's impressions of us.
Program reports that we have 82 people subscribed to the Brainstorming
list. This is phenomenal! Lots of great ideas have been circulating
there (I've been reading it). Bridget is planning to meet with people
from the Lowell Textile Museum in April to see if we can work together
on some program items and perhaps some publicity.
