Photographers and Registrars wanted for the Blog Awards

I’m looking for a few photographers for the blog awards. I wish to photograph everyone that comes to the Awards and have their photo and their names uploaded up to the Awards website. In order to do this I’ll need a photographer at the door along with an assistant to take their names. Hopefully if the net access works then their pics can be uploaded quickly to the website. Photographers are also needed to take pics of the rest of the event and of each category winner along with the category sponsor.

I’d also appreciate if someone can live blog the event. So someone with a laptop and a wireless card. If you bring a laptop bring some mains and a long plug!

Additionally I’ll need some registrars at the event to take details of everyone that comes in, give them name tags (optional but encouraged), collect their fiver and give them a raffle ticket for the spot prizes. For efficiency it would be good to have at least two people to do this.

And now off to write a press release, an opening speech and to pack the golden envelopes.

    Damien – can we make the photography optional? I prefer not to have my photo on the web…

    Once we get a few cocktails into her at the Merrion, That Girl will be for a photo. Wait and see.

    Everything is optional.

    Live-blogging my arse.

    Mulley, tell someone with a PowerBook to install a program called Broadcaster and bring along what we Macintosh-fanatics refer to as an “iSight”, and we’ll stream the damned thing.

    EWI: I heard all the Mac people are leaving their machines at home because it doesn’t match their shoes for the night or something. You know what the macheads are like.

    The problem is that it’s de rigeur for Apple users to wear black turtlenecks in public. This creates an unresolvable catch-22 fashion faux-pas when *everyone* is likely to be doing it…

    You ought to be thankful. The glare of all those backlit Apple logos would be blinding from the podium.

    Btw, I just saw “Origami”, Microsoft’s iPod/PSP-killer.

    *snicker*

  9. Would a couple of four-plug extension cords do?

    Count me in as a registrar….

    I won’t have my camera gear with me so won’t be able to do photographs. Will turn up early for any other work that needs doing.
