Kilt a conchair!

[c1.livejournal.com]

There really aren't that many benefits to being a conchair- you get to wear a silly hat, choose a GOH and maybe you get some say on what the Tshirt looks like. This is in exchange for giving up your life for more than a year.
So I'd like to take a collection (as one was taken when I was chair) to outfit our intrepid conchair in a Utilikilt- the last two years have seen kilted conchairs, so we seem to have the beginnings of another of Arisia's silly traditions.
They run about $150-200, depending on the model, and I'd like to see him get the nicest one possible. 20 contributions of ten dollars would just about do it.
If you plan on being at the con com meeting on the 12th, I'll accept your contributions there in such a way as to not distrupt the meeting.
Otherwise, contact me and we can make arrangements.

Are you reasonably confident that Phi could use/would wear a Utilikilt, or does that not matter?

I've spoken with him and his wife in the fairly recent past, and haven't heard any dissent. At one point, he mentioned wanting one, so I think it's a pretty good indication.

It's practically become a prerequisite for being Arisia conchair.

Which is yet another reason that deguspice will never be conchair.

I believe he will be the 2008 chair, actually. He and Herda are the vice-chairs this year, Herda is 2007 chair, and the thought was he was getting 2008...

however... I love deguspice, and I know him as well as anyone, and I just really don't think he'd be a great conchair (he knows this, and agrees with me.)

Y'all need to come up with someone else, and soon...

My husband wouldn't even try a kilt on.

Also, there is arisia_kit: The Arisia Kilt Inspection Team. We would need to inspect the ConChair to make sure he is, umm... *regimental* and such. Very important business we have. Yep.

There's a T-shirt on www.amerikilts.com that you should see.

I'll float it for now- you can get me back at con. I don't have paypal.

Cool. I'll most likely be at reg or will be findable by the the people at reg.

I think he has one.

I remember for the Mini-Arisia at Noreason Phi had planned for all former Arisia ConChairs to be outfitted in Utilikilts (which included him).
