I'll join again <3

Mautz!
I would gladly help there!
would be nice though if i could do ridesharing since i come from the Magdeburg Region
if anybody is on this route (See Screenshot attatched), hit me up on Telegram (@Hyperfluff) so we could plan the details

a Place to sleep would also be nice, i can bring a tent, sleeping bag, field bed etc. if needed.

I volunteer as a tribute uhh as a helper

A place on a floor with preferably 4 walls around it and a roof over it would be nice.

Hello everybody!

As with all previous productions, we are going to produce our pawpetshow sets in one big group effort, since we only have one weekend to finish them That means, we need all the helpers we can get - tinkerers, painters, artists - if you can use a paint brush, jigsaw or screwdriver, you can help!

Typical jobs we have is: Priming panels with background colors, cutting out shapes, joining backdrop and prop parts, installing reinforcements, cutting out windows and adding door hinges ... there is plenty of stuff do. Our talented lead artists and craftspeople will tell you exactly what  you have to do. And if you are an artist yourself, the better, because we also need people who are able to instruct the helpers.

Usually it's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun


Do you want to volunteer? Just reply to this thread!

The workshop is going to take place

I am open for badge commission! (Digital file)

I am very sorry, but we are most likely not going to have an Artist Alley this year.

Thank you for sharing these insights winterheart!

It helps me learning about how transfers/routes/walk paths to the Con space could work better!

I have very little visibility while in fursuit therefore crossing public streets in suit is dangerous for me, dragging a suitcase with the suit to change in the fursuit lounge would demand too much from my blood sugar levels and because of other disabilities walking a lot has become more difficult.
Therefore the previous hotel, which I understand is no longer an option, was ideal, as well as all the hotels that were before that.
I went to american cons (anthrocon) and suffered such fate of having to walk about 300 - 400m from / to the hotel - con area, because the westin was booked full too. This resulted in the fact I could only suit once, and the con area was literally so big it felt more like a marathon than a vacation.

Same thing happened in MFF though there I had the safety of walking across the skybridge, so even with low visibility I would not be in danger, only the problem of heat and low blood sugar and skin chafing caused by walking more than my body would allow me to.

No close hotel means people with a disability are somewhat hindered compared to previous venues.

Would you tell more about this to help us learn, would it mean "the Con has to be in the hotel directly" because all other wouldn't work for you?

It's easy to say "all public transport is barrier free and transfer paths are really short", but I guess this, from a non disability perspective, is just "wishful thinking".

After all, one hotel is directly connected to the con space in Hamburg (Radisson), the thing is only that it's currently fully booked/reserved. I could imaging that many people hold reservations without even haven't regged for EF yet, but nobody knows (for 2023).

Would it be senseful effort for EF (and other Cons) to reserve a room contingent for disability folks, or would it be useless if there still is a 50 meter transfer from Hotel exit to CCH entry needed? I mean this could even be less than from the first Estrel tower to the first Con checkpoint in the past...

Hoping for input!

It's been a considerable time of millenia decades since I lived (more or less) in Hamburg but maybe some things did not change...
Already mentioned was the Elbphilharmonie. An impressive look from the outside, even more the inside, but if you want to take the tour you have to book in advance. If you want to listen to the actual philharmonic orchestra I strongly advise to order your ticket now - for EF 29.
Hagenbeck is one of (if not the) most famous german zoo but at least in the past they didn't like the word zoo. They used to have the slogan "Hamburg doesn't need a zoo - we have Hagenbeck's". But I don't know if they still use it.
If you're interested in old buildings have a look at the historical city hall. Build in the 19th century, but looks much older.  And of course some of the churches, with St. Michaelis the most prominent.
If you are an early riser you might want to visit the Fischmarkt (fish market, sundays only). But early really means early in this case - like 5 AM.
And of course the Reeperbahn, the center of world famous red light district.

I really can't say much about hte restaurants in the area. My Hamburg period is simply too long ago and I it was not exactly in this area, but obviously "Die Bullerei" is not too far away from the CCH. It's the restaurant of Tim Mälzer, one of the most popular german chefs (with his own tv-shows and all). Don't expect anything too fancy there, he never got a michelin star or something like that.
