BDSM Writers Con Newsletter August 17, 2014

Hi everyone,

BDSM Writers Con is almost here. Just three days away, or less pending on when you read this email. I’m so excited about all the awesome events, Mix & Mingles and workshops we have lined up for you. The Conference Committee and I spent hour yesterday putting together all the goodie-bags and I have to tell you, you’re going to love all the great swag. We even have stuff we needed to hold to the side for you because the bags were getting too full. Smiles. Wait till you see all we have in store for you. And of course, please feel free to share your joy with the authors and sponsors whom provided the items.

In this Newsletter update, I want to cover what to expect at BDSM Writers Con & all issues you should know:

Hotel:
Everyone should have already gotten their hotel room reserved. If you’re doing so at the last minute, please contact me so I can try and work with the hotel to get you our discount rate. Or tell them you’re supposed to receive the “Writers Con” discount. Yes, friends & fans can also use our discount. If you don’t get it, let us know. It’s an $80 a night savings so definitely worth getting.

Registration:
We will start registration at 9am on Thursday in front of the York Suite on the 2nd Floor conference rooms. Registration ends at 10:50 am so please register first before doing anything else as we start our opening ceremony promptly at 11am in the Vanderbilt Suite. (Volunteers, please arrive at 8:30 am so we can give you your assignments.) We will check your legal id’s and age. Absolutely no one under 19 years of age is permitted at the conference or at any of our events. All participants will sign a Participant Disclaimer that basically states you are 19-years old or older and are attending BDSM Writers Con of your own free will and will treat other participants with respect and the topic with an opened mind. (For those who pre-ordered the First Annual BDSM Writers Con Anthology, you’ll receive your book(s) during registration.)

For those arriving Saturday, registration will be open from 8:45am to10am. If you’re going to be later than that, please text/email us to let us know. My text friendly phone is 718-916-4124. Remember to identify yourself.

You are required to wear your registration badge on at all times. If you do not have your badge visible, you will not be allowed into the workshops. Please do not fight with our volunteers that you “left it in your room”, just go upstairs and get it. Do not “lend” your registration badge to anyone. This is a closed event and only registered participants are allowed. If you have fans or friends that wish to “have a look” or “listen in” they can do so on Sunday from noon to 4pm when the conference is open to the public. Also, they should meet you in the hotel lobby on the first floor for lunch or any other needs.

Raffles:
We have many items and author gift baskets being raffled off daily. Here are a few: a Snake Whip, Cat-of-nine-tails, cuffs & collars, 2-Day Getaway to Caliente Resorts in Tampa Florida, a 3-Day Vacation to Hedonism II in Jamaica, Fetish Fine Arts by Captured Erotica and much more, plus all the authors’ gift baskets. Proceeds go toward our conference charity National Coalition for Sexual Freedom and continuing BDSM education.

Conference Hashtag:
To help us keep connected, we’ve created a hashtag for BDSM Writers Con. It is BDSMwc. Feel free to post tweets and comments about your experience at our First Annual BDSM Writers Con. We will post updates for everyone through this forum as well as at the conference bookstore. This is an awesome way to also let friends & fans know what’s happening and share your experience. And of course, feel free to share your experiences on your websites and FB pages.

Wednesday “unofficial kick-off”
For those going to the Shake Rattle & Roll Dueling Pianos with us, please be sure to meet us in the lobby by 7:00 pm. We’re leaving the hotel by 7:10 pm. If you’re late or are sightseeing, you can always meet us at the Brick Theater. Remember to bring your tickets. If you’ve not yet signed up, you can still do so. But don’t wait till the last minute.
