Tiger Can Town: Successful!

Wow, guys thank you all so much who attended and donated and who helped us with carrying things!  I have a bunch of names of people to thank and all sorts of stuff to post up about the actual building of Can Town (photos mostly), but man I am TIRED.

Stuff like list of attendees will be posted tomorrow.

Photos will be posted sometime next week (I’ve got my first couple final projects due on Monday and Tuesday so they may take until Wednesday).

But oh my gosh I am so impressed by how smoothly it went.  Besides a few people just kind of abandoning their can bags, everyone was there with their cans.  And even though there were some small labeling problems, you all listened to Gretchen when she read the rules and to me when I moved us outside (I also apologize that I had to have Gretchen be the one to yell at you all; I am not a loud person and have some problems judging my own volume so I tend to think I’m yelling and actually be talking quietly).

You all were really good about getting your cans and orderly lining up to get them counted and claim a prize, and you were all very good about building the actual Can Town!

Also, extra-special thanks to everyone who asked to and actually did help us carry cans/bins or re-pack the cans into the bins after Can Town!  We had 25 of the super-special surprise magnets printed up to give out to those who were “STRONG of heart” and we gave out 15 of them!  Also, you all were way overthinking the super-special surprise clue, but I suppose that’s only to be expected of the Homestuck fandom!

This just in:

necromatador:

Gretchen and I have managed to meet.

We’re making a list of the rules for the Can Town meet-up, so we can go over them before we actually get to the Can Town building.

Then we’re grabbing our first donations.

Then we’re going to a Goodwill and seeing if they have any horrible Christmas cardigans/sweaters that would work for Dave and Roxy, because we realized we’ll be freezing our asses off since we’ll be building the Can Town outside.

ON THAT NOTE: REMEMBER TO BRING A HOODIE OR COAT OR SWEATER OR OTHERWISE DRESS WARMLY.  THEY DO HAVE COIN-OPERATED LOCKERS IN THE UNIVERSITY UNION WHERE TIGERCON IS BEING HELD, AND THEY PROVIDE TOKENS FOR YOU TO USE TO OPEN THEM.  YOU CAN STASH COATS THERE IF NEED BE.

That last part is important.

tigercantown: ::TIGER CAN TOWN CANNED FOOD DRIVE::Tigercon’s Can Town Project Chapter Where: Tigercon, at the Towson University UnionWhen: December 8th, 2012; 10 AM to 10 PM Basics: There will be labeled bins left at the two main entrances to the Union, the one on the first floor and the one on the second.  They will be there all the way from 10 AM to 10 PM, just in case we get early drop-offs that cannot stay or late drop-offs that couldn’t make it earlier.  Please, bring your cans in a bag or box or somehow otherwise grouped together with your email address or tumblr username or whatever the best way to contact you is.  This is important so we can tell who brought how many cans. The actual meeting to build the can-town will be at 6 PM, outside the 2nd floor main entrance (unless it is taken, in which case we will migrate to outside the first floor main entrance). At the building of our can-town: I, necroMatador, and Gretchen, miraclesuprise, will go through the cans, count them, and hand them over to the person or persons who brought them to begin their own construction.  (You may build however many buildings you can with your cans, or you may team up with other groups if you have only a can or two, and pool your cans into one or two buildings.) Individuals who bring 5 cans or more will receive either a Dave or a Roxy print that Gretchen and I will be making special for Tiger Can Town. Individuals who bring 10 cans or more will receive both the Dave and Roxy print. If you cannot stay but want to be in the can count drawing for prints, leave your cans bundled in one of the drops.  This is why we ask you to keep them bagged together and with a reliable way of contacting you.  You should also probably be okay with giving us your mailing address when we contact you so that we can get your prints to you. If we think of more information you need to know, we will post it up here at the Tiger Can Town tumblr.  Remember, any information that cannot be verified by visiting this tumblr is likely false, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.  It may be something we didn’t even think of.
