I am 30, male from the Carolinas, can't wait for the first time to meet the Dis team live!
It's a disease, trying to get the best deal. We only need one room. We plan to do the Podcast event and looking forward to seeing what the other events are.
Remember not to eat off of the tables
The meet & greet with me is only $15.74 or a beer at the Rose & Crown
I don't think my family will attend events with me, but you never know. DS13 is a big "Connecting with Walt" fan. We might also be up for joining a GKTW group. DS and I volunteered there in January and plan to go a number of times throughout the month we will be there.
Way back in ancient times when I did my advanced internship I volunteered at the village each week. They used to have a night called parent's night off where they sent the parents to dinner paid and I'd help assign the volunteers (usually the College programers) to families. In the beginning we would assign volunteers to a family and we would go over to the Gingerbread House for dinner. After dinner we would take the kids to the ice cream palace for ice cream and then usually Nickolodian would have a show in the castle. I even remember some kids would get slimed (clues to how long ago this was.) After the kids would play with the volunteers until 9pm when their parents would pick them up. The core volunteers (including self) would make sure things ran smoothly and if any kids were having a hard time we would help out with that kid. I think they got rid of the event since some parents didn't pick up their children on time. I did other things as well. My favorite was doing lead for Mayor Clayton Tuck ins. I'll never forget how much fun it was to drive around with the Mayor and have pillow fights with the kids. I also helped out with Christmas in the village. That happens every week for the kids.
