[Deptheads] we need a quartermaster

[Victor B]

Great idea!!
I will jump on that. At next con I will go out and pick up 3 of them (non-see thru) and condense the 4 collectable boxes of cards, packs, supplies, and personal stuff into 3 crates.

If I may make a suggestion - any cardboard boxes still being used to carry Con supplies should be retired in favor of soft-lockable plastic crates. They generally run ~$10 at any Hardware store (or Fry's), and would nearly eliminate the possibility of a box coming apart while being moved.

Some people got lax and the new people coming in didn't know. We needed a quartermaster for quite some time.
>Volunteers are sent to pick up stuff for a dept. and grab what looks right. Most stuff is not marked. The 4 boxes for collectables, 1 for miniatures, several for registration, and 3 containers for boardgames are the only ones marked and sealed. There is much more than that and it's all unmarked. If it isn't marked and sealed it may be grabbed by mistake. A quartermaster will make sure all boxes are marked when dropped off, all non-boxed items are marked, and everything is picked up by right dept. AND everything is retured to be loaded on monday (like fans).........and I will tell you right now I won't miss unloading the truck thursday night, Eric N. won't miss loading it, and Eric A. won't miss loading it, unloading it, then loading it again monday (triple duty). Hurray for getting a quartermaster.

"Would you like another drink, sir?" asked the bartender.
"I think not," replied Descartes, and promptly vanished.
