Frolicon’s Money Exchange Policy
There are 6 places at the convention where money can change hands:
1. Registration
2. Vendors Hall
3. Artist Gallery
4. Frolicon approved Fan-Tables
5. My office
That. Is. It.
– Unless you have made arrangements to sell your goods and services in one of those places
YOU CAN NOT SELL ANYTHING OR ACCEPT PAYMENT IN ANY FORM AT FROLICON.
Let’s break it down even more.
– – You can not make things to bring and sell.
– – You can not set up your own table and sell.
– – You absolutely! Can! Not! make arrangements to provide any sale or service out of your hotel
room or the hotel room of another person!
This includes photography sessions, paid play services, pro-dom services, sale of handmade or
other items, massage therapy sessions or any other thing you can possibly think of.
–
First of all, it’s against hotel policy. They will throw you out (and possibly pursue legal action
depending on what you are doing).
–
Second, Frolicon is not your mama’s con. The things you get to see and do at Frolicon are not
always well received by non-Frolicon folk. Offering services of ANY KIND in a hotel room, as
harmless or legal as they may be, at a convention such as Frolicon can easily be
misinterpreted as something not so harmless or legal.
Do not put us in that position. We don’t like that position. It’s our least favorite position.
–
If you have business cards or flyers you would like to hand out at the con…go for it! We’ll even
put them in the reg bags so every single person at the con gets one!
–
– There is a No Tipping policy at Frolicon.
This includes tipping for any services provided at Frolicon by Frolicon or its volunteers. This will
include The Retreat, bag check, Con-Suite, etc. And yes this includes parties and private hotel
rooms.
Tipping is a legal form of payment. See above paragraph regarding sales and services out of
hotel rooms.
– The notable exceptions to tipping are of course the 5 places mentioned above (for example
after Miz Marrus paints your beautiful face with one of her beautiful designs while sitting at her
Vendor Room table feel free to tip her) and tipping of the hotel staff.
–
If you are caught doing any of the above mentioned things you will be asked to stop. If you do
not stop you will be asked to leave. And by “asked” I mean Cj will be called to handle the
situation. You don’t want CJ to be called to handle the situation.
