Morton's List volunteers needed - we will hook you up!

Can you believe Origins is less than 3 weeks away?!  Neither can we!

I'm Nathan and we're the people behind Morton's List, the Game of Real Life Adventure.  This year at Origins (our favorite con!) we're putting on WAY more events than ever before.  Although it's all coming together spectacularly, we really could use a few of you awesome gamers to help out with some super simple and super fun events.  In exchange we will HOOK YOU UP!

How's $10/hour in credit towards free games, passes and merch sound? (We rock some of the coolest and lowest priced merch around - believe that!)

Volunteer slots are typically 2 hours, though there are opportunities for a few 4 hour slots.  In most cases, volunteers also participate in the event, so it's not like actual work.

 Just call/txt me, Nathan Andren, at 734-664-0244 (cell) ANY time - don't be shy, I'll be excited to hear from you - or email me at MortonsList@gmail.com.  I'll work with your schedule so you can enjoy all the events you want and get some sweet swag for volunteering.  Please pass my contact info. along to anyone you think may be interested.  Leave a msg and I'll get right back to you.

 In case you're not familiar with Morton's List, I'll explain what we're looking for volunteers to do and list all our events below:

 Morton's List is a game where a small group (up to 12 players) does a random activity together.  It might involve talking to each other (such as sharing stories), playing a game, interacting with people, art, or ANYTHING.  That's the magic of it.  No body knows that fun and perhaps memorable event will happen until  it's happening.

What's even better is that running a session of Morton's List is EASY.  There's no set-up and no preparation!  Just show up, explain how the game works (a few minutes, tops) and let the game do it's thing.  As a volunteer you'll be trained to run  or help with sessions by a friendly staffmember - it really is that easy.

 Some volunteers will be needed for the several speical events we're running for the Pirate Ninja Peace Summit.  Jobs vary and could involve dressing up like a zombie, flipping a scoreboard, etc.   Everything  will be explained and is also very easy - no qualifications other than positivity and an open mind.
