[Penguicon-Concom] A question from a member about a book to sell

[Ron Blanchett]

We let the ones under 13 that are with a parent/guardian in for free. Then there parents let them run free around the entire hotel for the entire weekend. Then these same parents come to closing and complain that we give out loads of Caffeine in Consuite, have questionable content from dealers in the dealer room and anything else they find that they don't want there kids into. They expect that the con is a baby sitter so they don't have to take any responsibility for any thing there kids might get into over the coarse of the weekend.



Forget the kids I am not sure I want to see a book of Haiku about anal sex in the dealer room.
and shit Jer I thought a book about anal would give you flash backs of that one time.

Most of us are geeks who don’t get enough. I will vote dealers room rather than fan table, if that counts for anything.

   

 What is our specific policy on children anyway?

   I don't know that that is a point against, however.  I mean, I don't know that the con is skewed in the direction of children... so while I could see the argument against having it in, say, the lobby.. I think there is some question as to whether or not this would be acceptable in the dealer's room.

 I am mostly certain that the book in question would be one of the last things many parents who bring there kids would want to see in the dealers room.

 I wasn't sure who exactly could handle this, but if

 somebody could get a response to me or him (or both)

 I'd appreciate it. (and so would he!)

 How much would it cost to get a table (or half a

 table, or whatever) to sell my book, "Anal Sex Haiku, 

 Lascivious Limericks & Other Drivel?"

 Is it acceptable to sell such a book at Penguicon?
