POC Flop Gets Shopped!







Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties
because...booties! As mentioned earlier on our Facebook
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqK-16xa0F5> and Twitter
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqL-16xa0F6> accounts, it's
time to take the new hotel
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqM-16xa0F7> out for a test
drive.



On February 2, AKA Groundhog Day
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqN-16xa0F8> , we'll be hosting
our first official event at our new host hotel
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqO-16xa0F9> . This event will
be FREE to attend, and we'd love to have you and any other fans you'd
like to invite join us!



We'll be touring the property, measuring the drapes, and
brainstorming for July. We'll also be hosting 24 hours of open board
gaming, from Saturday at 4PM to Sunday at 4PM. Plus we'll have a small
21+ party room available, for those interested--and yes, we will of
course be playing the movie. Then we'll be playing it again. And it'll
Play On and On and On and On.



Groundhog Day
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqP-16xa0F0> is what we decided
to host for the POC 6 year instead of POCtoberfest. We also still plan
to host our usual Pre-Con event in the Spring. Look for more details on
that in a later newsletter!



If you'd like to stay overnight at the host hotel for
Groundhog Day, you can now rent a 2 Queen Beds Room
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqQ-16xa0F1> for 2/2 over in
our POC Shop <http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqR-16xa0F2> !



Please bring a camera, if you're so inclined, so that you
can help us show the property to anyone who cannot make it. We look
forward to seeing you there! If you mysteriously win every game you
play with us, though, we reserve the right to accuse you of time loop
abuse.












Play On Con*Tourage!





We're pleased to confirm that Con*Tourage
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqS-16xa0F3> will be returning
to host their signature party events at Play On Con for a third year!
That means if you're in a party dorm room
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqT-16xa0F4>
, you just might wake up to the smell of pancakes one morning! Then
you'll be able to kick off your day appropriately by loading up on
carbs, taking in the view, sipping on mimosas, and talking about the
war. Also, though we cannot unveil Con*Tourage's Saturday night party
theme just yet...suffice it to say that they're "into" our new venue.



We're also pleased to confirm that we're now sponsoring
three of Con*Tourage's Atlanta events this year--so while you're marking
your calendar for POC 6 and Groundhog Day, we'd also like to invite you
to join us at these!



First up, on February 16, we have a Winter Edition of last
fall's highly successful Hair of the Dragon
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqU-16xa0F5> . If you love the
feeling you get when you walk around the Dragon*Con
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqV-16xa0F6> hotels amid all
the costuming and photography, and if you simply cannot wait until Labor
Day weekend for more, this El Presidente-approved
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqW-16xa0F7> event could be for
you!



Then on March 23 we have the second annual Infestation
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqX-16xa0F8> . If you're a fan
of 21+ con parties with costume contests, and if you like dancing the
night away with pro DJs, you'll probably love Infestation. Last year's
premiere was a huge success, and...we had quite a good time
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqY-16xa0F9> !



Last but not least, May the Fourth (Be With You) gets a
full day of celebration from Con*Tourage this year with Bash of the
Empire <http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqZ-16xa0F0> . First we
warm things up at a restaurant with a really cool little Star
Wars-themed menu <http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqa-16xa0F7> ,
then we move on to a 21+ dance party
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqb-16xa0F8> full of Jedi,
Stormtroopers, and all sorts of scum and villainy. Attend it, you
should!











Blog On!





We probably won't be able to send out a newsletter for all
of them, but we'll also be involved with a bunch of other fandom-related
events throughout the year, including a Nashville con this weekend
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqc-16xa0F9> that's featuring a
bunch of zombies! Please keep an eye on our Facebook page
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqd-16xa0F0> and/or our Twitter
account <http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqe-16xa0F1>
for word on these as we confirm them. Also, please Contact Us
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqf-16xa0F2> if you'd ever like
to help us with any events where we're attending--or with other events
where we should be attending!



In other news that we generally blog about more than we
email, the price for POC 6 pre-registration
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqg-16xa0F3> goes up to $45 at
the end of this month, so you may wanna jump on it now at $40. If you
opt to wait until February 1, though, we promise your extra $5 will go
to one or more good causes, possibly including new toys for the pool.



Also of note, we still have a few dorm rooms left in our
POC Shop <http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqh-16xa0F4> , but
we've sold out of rooms in the main hotel. We're hoping to free up a
few more hotel rooms by moving some hotel guests over to dorms, and our
Hospitality Director
<http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?ZERj-kNqi-16xa0F5> is keeping a hotel
rooms waiting list in case we succeed, so please contact him as soon as
you can if you're interested in being listed! We're also preparing to
open up an overflow hotel if/when the dorms all sell out, but the
commute will not be particularly short, so we highly recommend grabbing
up something on-site if you can!
