Lord 'Vator's arisia schedule
I am at arisia, where I am a GoH. My schedules, let me show you them.
LJ-CUT
Fri 8pm: Sith Charity Ball (3hr)
Presidents D
His High Exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt has decreed that you are to attend his Sith Charity Ball. Join members of the New England Star Wars community and New England Browncoats in revelry, as they raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Photos with Jabba and his entourage, and raffle tickets for some rare items will be on sale for this charity. DJ Johnny Zed will keep things moving on the dance floor in our ‘wretched hive of scum and villainy’!
[GoH'es Intro'ed by Chair]
Fri 10:30pm: “Eric in the Elevator” Season 7.5 Filming Session
Main Lobby
Your 15 minutes of make-believe fame: “Eric in the Elevator” films at Arisia, and you are the celebrity that our FPGoH will chat with next! Join us in the lobby and be interviewed in our fan-built elevator set! Maybe you’ll discover yourself to be on a book tour; on the other hand, you could turn out to be something completely unexpected! Two chairs, one potted plant, no script! Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman [and zahraa, and Marstini]
Sat 12pm: Eric in the Elevator: A Primer
Molly Pitcher
Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman is our Fan Performer Guest of Honor. Who is he? What does he do? And what floor will he be getting off on? Enter into the mystery and imagination of our GoH in this hour examination. Going up! Julia Tenney (m), Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman [and zahraa?]
Sat 1pm: Giant Zendo Demo 201
Zendo is a game of inductive logic played with Icehouse pieces. One player-the “Master”-creates a rule and the others-the “Students”-try to figure it out by building structures out of Icehouse pieces and asking the Master whether it satisfies the rule. Come learn how it’s played. Julia Tenney (m), Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman
Sat 3pm: “Eric in the Elevator” Show Origins & Past Tales
Paul Revere B
The Origin Story of “Eric in the Elevator”! Eric was a mild-mannered fan until he was bitten by a radioactive elevator + no, that’s not how it happened! Join Lord ‘Vator himself and cast/crew members from the Elevator Talk Show’s first two formative Seasons (at least one cameraperson, and at least one Cue Card Chick) as they recount stories about the early years and the amazing set of coincidences that enabled such an unlikely animal as EitE to become a SFBay fannish tradition. Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman [and zahraa, and Marstini]

Sun 12pm: Gaming w/ Guest of Honor (Fluxx 10th Year!) (2hr)
Thomas Paine
Fluxx, the card game of ever-changing rules, was released into the wild by Looney Labs (Arisia 2003 Gaming GoH’s) in 1997. We will be throwing a 10th anniversary party, with special packs of promo cards, and a dizzying variety of Fluxx formulations. Join members of the Mad Lab Rabbits (including your FPGoH, Eric “Rabbitsaurus” Zuckerman) for this celebration of 10 years of the fan-favorite card game, and other Looney offerings, (Zendo, Treehouse, Aquarius, IceTowers, Chrononauts?) Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman [and Marstini, and probably annodomini, and possibly kdsorceress]
Sun 2pm: Creative Interviewing with the Fan GoH
Empress A [kids' programming]
Eric will show how he creates impromptu interviews, and will coach participants to interview each other in the style of his “Eric in the Elevator” show. Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman
Sun 4pm: BoF (Birds of a Feather): Geocaching
Cambridge
Do you enjoy the idea of using billions of dollars of military hardware (GPS satellites) for your own amusement (to find Tupperware hidden in the woods)? Learn about the game of Geocaching, meet some local geocachers, swap stories, move and discover trackables. Bring your tricor… er, GPS receiver, and any travel bugs/geocoins that you have in your inventory. With a little luck, we’ll have this listed as an Event Cache, so this could be your first “find”! Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman [co-hosted by surrealestate]
Sun 5pm: Why LiveJournal?
Molly Pitcher
Friendster, Facebook, Tribe, Diaryland, Vox, Gather, MySpace… there are so many blogging & social networking sites on the net. But here at Arisia you’ve probably already seen several people introduce themselves by LJ name, and might not have heard any of the other sites mentioned at all. Why is our community so drawn to LiveJournal? Non-LJ users welcome! Laura Anne Gilman, Nomi S. Burstein (m), Marrus, Anna R. Bradley, Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman
Sun 9pm: Eric in the Elevator (1hr 30min)
Presidents A
Featured FPGoH media presentation! Fandom’s favorite Elevator Talk Show, “Eric in the Elevator”, has its Arisia premiere screening; hilarity ensues. Footage from Seasons 1-6 (BayCon 2001-2006 + including some bicoastal faces) of the unique semi-improv comedy project. Not kid-safe.
Sun 11pm: Mad Scientist Laugh Contest
William Dawes AB
Let the world hear your madness. Who can be most maniacal? Howard Beatman, Mario di Giacomo, Mark A. Mandel (m), Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman
Mon 12pm: Humor & Sex
Molly Pitcher
Sex can be a beautiful, poetic expression of love, or a passionate display of lust, but sometimes it can be a comedy of errors. A funny look into where you put that leg, what was that sound and satin sheets sound romantic until you slide off of them. Thomas A. Amoroso, Trish Wilson, Eric “in the Elevator” Zuckerman (m)
/LJ-CUT
So, that's (most of) my next several days. GoH Dinner in a few hours. :-D

P.S.: Recap of Fall 2007 is still bouncing around my head... but this is the "front burner" now.
