Opal Mattila
4152 Meridian St
Ste 105 box 493
Bellingham, Wa 98226
Adult tickets are $250 USD and you get:
Two Flamingo talks.
Two Goldfish talks.
One Goldfish autograph. (we will have pictures if you need to buy one)
One Flamingo autograph.
You get to attend the first ever! (as far as I know) fic reading for charity. MP3s will be online after the event, but you'll get to see it live!
One picture of you and Goldfish.
One picture of you and Flamingo.
One picture of you and both of them. (If you want to do a group picture with you and your friends, this is the picture we will let you do it in. We just need to know that morning)
We're also doing pictures and autographs in order. So if you want to be in the beginning...buy now people. ;)
**First 50 get the Friday night party (free drink!!)**
If you have a child (under 12), you may bring it for free. Children 12-18 are old enough to enjoy things (or be left with good babysitters) and need tickets. (child tickets are much cheaper than adult tickets) If you need to bring a child, email 'help@middlecon.org' and talk to me personally about it. There's extra legal stuff involved.
Tickets are not refundable unless it is a dire emergency and you talk DIRECTLY to the chair.
- I understand this is less than friendly. Please understand that running a convention requires HUGE deposits. We're not a big company. We're fangirls. We don't have piles of money lying around. We ARE not Creation. (but that's a good thing) Creation isn't refundable either.
- They can be exchanged by phone or email. (name swapping is entirely acceptable)
Duluth, Minnesota. (where the frak is Duluth?)

Travel:
Kayak.com is awesome. *nods* Duluth is airport code "DLH" This airport code will occasionally be really expensive. Duluth is a small city. Try it in case you get lucky.
If you don't, try MSP (this is a Minneapolis/St. Paul airport) This is a much bigger city and should be cheaper. You can train into St. Paul as well. After that, there's a bus that runs from Minneapolis to Duluth. $25 USD round trip. (Greyhound is there too) http://www.jeffersonlines.com/
Closer to the event, there will be a phone number you can call if you get stuck somewhere, need help, come in at a really strange time.

Is where we have rooms. Rooms are suites (so they are huge!!) Each room sleeps 6 people. So you'll want to find friends. We'll have a roommate service as well. We'll have a booking code soon. We have enough space for everyone, guaranteed!!
Volunteering:
We will need some people. (more about this later) We definitely need fan panels. If you have an idea, have always wanted to run one, or just really really really wanna talk about....threesomes? smut? why reading outloud is sexy? We have a place for you, my friend.
questions? comments? general con related harassment?
