Message: <blockquote data-quote="DelayedReactionMan" data-source="post: 1594326" data-attributes="member: 20259">Hi.My name is Kevin Genson, and I am the President of the Terrapin Gaming Club.  As Xath has confirmed, we have reserved the PG Room for a convention on Saturday, September 25th.  The convention is currently called TERPCON simply because it's being hosted at UMD.  We can change the name, but UMD prefers to have these things at least somewhat affiliated with the University.  The current status is as follows:We have a room reserved.  Capacity looks to be at 9 round tables capable of seating 6 people each, plus a little bit of space to mingle in.  So around 60 people that way.  I'm under the distinct impression that word of mouth alone is going to make this convention somewhat more popular than that, so I'm going to see what I can do about getting a larger room.  To do so requires money, which we somewhat lack at the moment.  The next two largest rooms are the Grand Ballroom and the Colony Ballroom.  The Grand Ballroom is available on 9/25, and would cost us $625 to rent for the entire day.  The Colony Ballroom is available on 10/2, and would cost $225 for the entire day.  In addition, the Grand Ballroom lounge MAY be open in time for our event, and it is apparently somewhat larger than the PG Room.  Price estimations for that arena hover around $150 or so.  My current plan is to hold the PG Room, determine how many people we have coming, and either annex the lounge if it's available or rent a second room.  To do so would require money.  I would prefer donations, as pre-registration requires organisation and registration at the door requires security.  I am also going to contact the SGA and see if we can get emergency funding, but no guarantees.Our hours are tentatively set at 9-5, with the program running from 10-4.  I suspect we'll want to expand those hours; 9-12 is the most we can do.  The buildings hours are 8-1, and we'll need about an hour to setup and tear down.  I can't let this get too big, but as long as the resources and manpower are there I don't mind expanding things.  I need someone within ENWorld I can maintain regular contact with so that we can coordinate things as needed.That said, it looks like this thing is a go.Kevin GensonTerrapin Gaming Club</blockquote>
