[Penguicon-Concom] Attendee Release Form

[Rachel]

I agree with Matt on this (is that really all that
surprising?), but I do think we ought to make double
positive that whoever takes the pictures, if they are
taking pictures of any conscious subjects, and said
subjects are clearly objecting, that we just back away
from those situations, ya know?

As we all know, some fans can be kinda "particular"
(nice euphemism, eh?) about certain things, and you
never know what it's gonna be.

Otherwise, fair warning is probably good enough,
without adding any signatures into things.
