If you are going to the 2008 Burbank Con, here's something you may be
interestedin. I'm forwarding this on for Brenda who is organising this
event:
Hi All!
For those of you who have patiently inquired how and when to pay for
tickets, that time begins now. We've got a beta version of the
website up and it's at:
www.bardsbrunch.com
It's very basic at the moment, but we wanted those folks who want to
purchase tickets now to be able to do so by using paypal. (NOTE:
if you're buying more than one ticket, we'll need an email to know
all the names and how you want your name(s) to appear on your name
badges.)
A reminder, the "tickets" cost $55.00. If you want to pay by check,
please email me at
Brenda@bardsbrunch.com or Tracy at Tracy@bardsbrunch.com
when you send your payment in. We need to keep a running tally, so
we know whose checks to expect and who we have to make name badges
for. We will take domestic personal checks up until mid-December,
after that we will only take money orders. Any of our
attendees coming in from other countries who wish to send their
payment by mail, please use international moneys orders in US
dollars. Please make all check or money orders out to Brenda
Barton. All checks and money orders must be received no later than
January 14th. Most importantly, checks and money orders should be
sent to:
Bards Banquet
PO Box 867595
Plano TX 75086-7595.
Tracy and I talked about it and unless there's a huge outcry there
won't be any physical tickets; we're just going to distribute name
badges at the convention. Frankly, this helps keep costs down, so
we can spend the money doing more fun things for the bards and their
fans. If you buy your "tickets" using paypal, it would be very
helpful if you would bring a copy of your receipt when you come to
pick up your name badges. The badges will be filed under the name
of the person who paid. If you pay by check Tracy or I will send
you an email confirmation of payment. Please print a copy of this
email because this will be your receipt. If you bring this
receipt with you to the convention badge distribution will go much
faster.
I think that about covers it. Eventually the website will have all
this information posted on it.
We look forward to hearing from you all.
Brenda and Tracy

Hi-
My name is Brenda Barton and after many, many years, I'm organizing
another yet bards event. This time around it's the Bards' Banquet and
it will take place on the closing evening of the 2008 Xena Convention in
Burbank CA. The bards that have been around since at least 1999 may
remember the Bards Brunches that took place during the Pasadena
conventions in 2000 and 2001... Click here to read more
Since time and spam filters aren't on my side this time around, I'm
issuing an open invitation to all the bards on various lists before I
announce the event to the general public. The event will begin at 6
p.m. on Sunday, January 27th in one of the Marriott hotel's ballrooms
and we have the room until midnight. Dinner will consist of an Italian
Buffet and we have tentative plans for a fun and frivolous awards
ceremony. Other activities are on the drawing board. It'll cost $55 to
attend and this cost covers all expenses.
Many Bards have pretty firm plans to attend, while others are hedging
their bets. I hope that many of you will consider joining us because,
while there are many events exclusively for the Bards, published and
otherwise, there aren't many, if any, for you to mingle and meet with
your fans. This is such an event. AND as a fan, I know that I love
meeting and talking with all of you. If you're at all interested, here
are some pertinent email addy's
bbarton@insight.rr.com
brenda@bardsbrunch.com and we've got a group
bardsbanquet-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and very, very soon
http://www.bardsbrunch.com .
Please be aware that the Bards Banquet group is open to Bards and fans
alike. I hope to hear from many of you. If this event lives up to its
predecessors, it'll be a lot of fun.
