PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR
REDUCED
ADMISSION!
Beyond the jobs listed below, please do not ask for
discounted admission. I get charged by the site for every person who shows up, whether they pay
the full price or have free admission. Site costs have increased over the years, and I also have to
figure in the cost of portapotties and other supplies for *everyone* who shows
up.
PLAN AHEAD AND PAY
AHEAD!
Plan ahead and pay ahead. The cost, if you pay before
July 1, is $30. That's for 4 days of
camping, workshops, rituals, etc. That's $7.50 a day. That's darn cheap! True, if you wait till
later, you'll pay more. (The price is cheaper in the beginning to encourage more folks to pay
early, so I'll actually have some $$ to pay for printing, postage, site deposit, and other up-front
expenses, which usually total about $1000. The price gets steeper to discourage people from
waiting till the last minute!) And if you find you can't make it, you can get a refund (see Refund
Policy below).
Pre-Payment: To receive the current (cheap) price, all registrations
must be accompanied by payment. Pre-payment is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED (it helps me to
pay for expenses, postage, printing, site fee deposit, toilet paper, etc.).
Gate Payments: All payments at the gate MUST BE CASH OR MONEY
ORDER, and will be the full price of $60 (or $25 if daytripping on Saturday), regardless of when
you register! NO CHECKS AT
THE GATE!
Deadlines: Please register by September 23, 2011 (if by mail) or October 4 (if by
PayPal), so I have time to send you the Confirmation Flyer and add you to the gate list. To
reiterate: If you plan to pay at the gate, you MUST email me your registration info (full name,
address, phone, email, medical problems, kids attending, etc.) ahead of time, so I can place you
on the gate list.
Refund Policy: If you can't make it to FallFling, you may call or email to request a
refund (they won't be issued automatically). Refunds will be given in full until September 15, at
a 50% rate until September 29; no refunds (or switching your
admission to a later festival) if I'm notified after that time or if you just don't show up. If you
decide to send someone else in your place, please let me know beforehand, so I can add them to
the gate list and remove your name.
(Even with a volunteer job, you still need to fill out the Registration Form)
There are TEN (10) jobs that come with discounted admission.. These jobs are listed below, and are BY APPLICATION ONLY, not "first-come-first-served." If you have been granted a job in the past and did not do your job well (or even worse, didn't show up at all), you are not eligible for any other volunteer jobs at any point in the future. On the other hand, if you've done one of these jobs in the past and done it well, you stand a good chance of being granted one again.
**IMPORTANT: All volunteers (unless I already know you personally and *know* that I can count on you absolutely) will be required to pay for their admission in full by September 23 (remember that admission rates are dependent upon when they are paid); once your job is completed at the end of the festival, your admission minus the discount will be refunded to you. This is to help cut down on the number of people who sign up for a job and then don't show up for the festival.
Applicants will be chosen on the basis of 1) dependability, 2) skills, and 2) financial need. (Note: If you are vending, and therefore profiting from the festival, you do not qualify for discounted admission.) On all jobs, you must make your commitment to the job well ahead of time, be on-site during the entire time required for your job, stay in touch with us so we know we can count on you, and above all, show up and do your job and be where we can find you during the festival.
To apply for any of these positions, please fill out the Volunteer Application Form.
(If you are applying for a volunteer job, you should still fill out the Registration Form just so we'll have all your information.)
(TAKEN)(1) Kid's Activities (1 person, $20 admission): The Kid's Activities person will run kid's activities on Friday and Saturday afternoons from 1:00-2:00 pm each day. This person should also run a kid's workshop at other times during the weekend, and possibly organize childcare on Friday & Saturday while workshops are in session, or while ritual is in progress. For the Kid's Activities hours and kid's workshops, this person will need to come up with games (bubbles, scavenger hunt, etc) and fun stuff to do (make fairy wands, practice drumming, etc.), and also organizing other folks to help out. The Kid's Activities person is responsible for all materials, so please plan for free or cheap activities or games. HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 5 hours of work during the festival. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The person who is approved for this job MUST arrive by noon on Friday, and stay through Sunday morning.
(TAKEN)(2) Herald/Parking/Minion (2 people, $15 admission each): While we have heralds in two-hour shifts during the festival, it's nice to have a couple of "lead heralds" who are in constant contact with the staff, who can make spur-of-the-moment announcements. These people will also act as fill-in for parking patrol as needed, take care of odd jobs, and just generally be "minions." HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 8 hours of work during the festival. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The people who are approved for this job MUST arrive by Thursday afternoon, and stay through noon on Sunday.
(TAKEN)(3) Gate Crew: (4 people, $15 admission each) We need a few good, trustworthy, reliable, self-motivating people to act as gate crew during the weekend. While we will still have attendees signing up for regular 2-hour shifts, the Gate Crew will staff the gate during peak hours Friday and Saturday to help with the influx (shift lengths to be determined), and be available at a moment's notice to take over during the late night/early morning hours when regular volunteers don't show up. HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 8 hours of work during the festival. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The people who are approved for this job MUST arrive by Thursday afternoon, and stay through midnight Saturday (when the gate closes).
(TAKEN)(4) Security: (3 people, $15 admission each) We need three people (male or female) to act as security during the festival. This person must be able to handle confrontations calmly and in a non-emotional manner, and be able to defuse a situation rather than escalate it. Physical strength is not a requirement, but a calm, level head is. All security staff must be available, awake, and sober at all times while on shift. HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 12 hours of work during the festival. At least one overnight shift is required. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The people who are approved for this job MUST arrive by Thursday afternoon, and stay through noon on Sunday.
