boxofdelightsIf you're going to WisCon, and this is not your first time, but you remember what it was like to go for the first time and wonder "Who can I talk to?" and "Do these people all know each other already or does it just seem that way?" and you would like to make that a little easier for some people who are coming to WisCon for the first time, you can sign up to lead a group to a restaurant Friday night for the First WisCon Dinner. Here is the call for volunteers:
Hey all! We are looking for folks willing to lead a dinner group for the First WisCon Dinner. If you are already planning to attend the POC Dinner, ignore this, since they coincide. :) But if you're willing to lead a group to a local restaurant and answer some questions while you eat, we need you! The First Dinner serves two purposes: letting new folks meet people, and giving new folks space to ask questions in a small group. As a bonus, they get to see a little bit of Madison.
The smaller the groups are, the better! We're asking all of the groups to remain in the lobby until the departure time listed in the program this year, since last year we had a problem where new folks showed up ten minutes before the departure time to find that everyone had already left (as soon as they had a group of 5-6 people). Staying in the lobby and leaving all at once will allow people to choose between restaurants.
You can also be an if-needed group leader, and only step in to take a group if the other groups get too big -- that would mean showing up in the lobby about 5 minutes before departure time. If you'd like to do that, we'll have a couple of restaurant suggestions ready for you if you need them.
