Hmm. Con-related factoids would be good.

Gallons of soda / pounds of chips consumed in consuite last year.
Number of towels the Hyatt will go through during ‘con.

Fake ads: ‘this dawn contest brought to you by black electrical tape…’

What about small shorts?
or are we sticking to just slides.

Ideas:

Badly translated anime scenes

cows killed for boots and outfits for the con.

men wearing skirts, both kilts and cross dressing so far this year.

more in my brain trying to get out.

I like the factoids.

Can we work in Costume Bingo with this? Maybe put bingo sheets on seats… display photos or something on the screen… prizes for bingo-ers?

Pre-movie slide cliche: scrambled names, ie "This actress starred in X-Men and won an oscar for ‘Monsters’s Ball’" ALEHL RYRBE — only do it with con/tech names, ie "This tech staffer runs centennial night during the con - watch his hair grow taller as the con progresses!" MOOAP PAOMLO

Multiple choice: "One of these does not belong with the others!"
a) Clean
b) Well-rested
c) Sober
d) Dragon*Con attendee

I just randomly realized I’m going to have to do a "Things ConGoers Do To Annoy Me" post at some point.

Ummmm….. that’s it for now… I’ll see if I can drag anything else out of my, um, brain.

Tech staff factiods….bad homemade dragon*con ads (we can do this…i know we can)…Dragon*Con PSA’s (Don’t ever eat more nuggets than you can count etc.)…

Those are all I can drag out at this hour…but I am sure my sleep deprived brain will come up with more.

The PSA’s could be a LOT of fun.

I like the factoids idea.

See if we can get with Hyatt Sean and get any interesting facts about the Hyatt. How many towels owned? Percentage of housekeeping staff that quit after D-Con weekend?

Pat (Con director) and the head of Con Suite should be able to supply interesting con-related facts. Number of attendees in past years? Total cans of Spam consumed in ConSuite in D-Con history? Total pounds of chips consumed in a typical D-con? Total gallons of Pepsi syrup consumed?

Total number of hours sleep various staffers get per night:
VIP: 8 hours
Security: 2 hours (nodded off on door duty)
Tech: what is this "sleep" you speak of?

We could have a LOT of fun with this….

Sounds cool. I have tons of music, both orginal and from CD/mp3 for it. Do you need any graphics, I’ve got time and photoshop!

http://www.showbizdata.com has some interesting facts/figures if you’re lacking for stills.

i LOVE the idea of "adult swim"-esque cards… people would recognize them, and they’d be hilarious.
