Hi I was wondering if you guys were that first lockdown that collected the Can Country for the can town project?

The group that ran the Sparklestuck in June 2012 is not the same person who ran the Sparklestuck of December 2011. That would be enenkay.

Cans were collected at both events, but I believe the name Can Country only applies to the 2011 lock-in, because the amount of cans gathered was so massive.

Here are the photos taken by the talented and wonderful Sierra!

if we prepaid how do we confirm and get in?

If you prepaid, you should have received an email containing an image. Present that image to the organizers at the door, and they'll check it against their list, and you'll get your prepayer gift and your wristband.

If you did not receive this email, please tell us immediately.

Last time people smuggled in drinks and stuff. Will there be repercussions if we do it this time?

Nope. You can smuggle in all the food and drinks you want as long as you are smart about it, and you don't bring alcohol.

[sparklestuck2]

the cans don't have to be smuggled, right?

Nope! We'll be collecting them outside the building.

[sparklestuck2]

What if you would like to go, but because you have work Saturday morning you were unable to stay the night. Would you still have to pay the 30 dollars? would it just be possible to pay for normal admission and leave when the rink officially closes?

The problem with that is that the rink closes to the general public at eleven and that's when the rink becomes ours. So it would just be kinda useless to come at ten as scheduled and only stay for an hour. You can, y'know, pay to get into the meetup and leave whenever you want, like at midnight, one am, whatever.

But another thing is that we need the money. 

[sparklestuck2]

Hey, did the price actually go down or was that a typo?

OH WHOOPS YEAH THAT'S A TYPO!!! Thank you!!!!! The price is $30!

Sparklestuck II: TOMORROW!

As Sparklestuck is tomorrow, now is the perfect time to sum up everything you need to know, including some guidelines and reminders.

WHERE: 1000 McCollum Parkway NW Kennesaw, GA 30144 WHEN: You can start arriving at around 10 pm HOW MUCH: $30, in cash, for admission WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING: Cash money for the aforementioned admission and for concessions and other things, your image code if you pre-paid, a gift for the exchange should you wish to participate, canned and other shelf stable foods for Can Town, sleep supplies, snacks and drinks (technically you have to smuggle these in but whatever, just keep them in your bags until you're inside the building), gifts for other guests, etc.

As for guidelines:

We request that you refrain from using body paint. We know it subtracts from a cosplay, but keep in mind that it will get fairly hot (melty paint = no fun), there aren’t showers (we don’t need Sparkles’ bathrooms to be coated in Ben Nye), and we don’t need cosplays getting ruined because you accidentally bumped into them in such a crowded venue. If you do decide to wear paint, you are expected to clean up after yourself thoroughly.

You are to be courteous and respectful to all Sparkles employees at all times. This is just common sense. These people are staying up all night and working hard to provide you with a great time.

Please try to leave your drama at the door, and not start any at the event. We should not have to explain what this means.

Absolutely NO ALCOHOL is to be smuggled in. Some some alcoholic beverages are served in the cafe, and if you want these, of course you'll need your legal ID. But no alcohol is to be smuggled in or passed around minors.

Additional rules will be given at the event itself.

Reminders:

Can Town is a thing that is happening! It is a food drive. This means that you bring canned food and other shelf-stable foods to the meetup, we build an awesome town out of it all, take a picture, and then the items are donated to a local food bank. It's really fun, and it's a great way to give a little something back. Also, there's a cool prize for whoever brings the most cans/shelf items!

The gift exchange is also a thing that is happening. It is, however, optional. If you do not want to bring a gift, you may sit out the exchange and not receive a gift in return.

Payment at the door is taken IN CASH. It would also be wise to bring extra cash for things like arcade games and concessions, as well as some extra goodies the hosts might be selling. There IS an ATM machine in the building, but beware that it may be out of order (as it was at the last Sparklestuck).

If you wish to participate in the grub race, please try to bring a sleeping bag! 

Please do NOT sleep in front of the entrance to the jungle gym! 

Guests are provided with free water all night; we ask that you please keep your cup! It's extremely wasteful to get a new cup every time you want water. Sharpies will be around for cup-labeling purposes. Mind you, there is also a water fountain.

There will be a lost and found box in the dj booth. If you find anything lying about, please put it in the box.

Please let us know if there's anything accidentally left out.

We're looking forward to seeing you all there!

What is sparklestuck.

You're on the blog, it shouldn't be difficult to figure out.

But I guess refer to the SPARKLESTUCK II BIG POST OF KNOWLEDGE !!!

[sparklestuck2]

Admission Payment

We feel like this should go without saying, but just to make sure everyone is clear, we will only be accepting CASH at the door for Sparklestuck II. No checks, money orders, paypal promises, or debit/credit cards.

Thank you for continuing to support us in making this event happen, and we can't wait to see you all there !!!

[sparklestuck2]

I was wondering, how early can we start arriving for Sparklestuck? And how early should we leave? I ask because I'm an hour or so away and because I'm hitching a ride from family, I don't really want them to have to drive back home too terribly late after dropping us off, and then have to wake up super early. I looked to see if there was an answer to this elsewhere on the blog but I didn't really see anything. Thanks~.

We have received this question several times so I'll publicly post this one.

All the time info is listed on the original Sparklestuck II post.

[sparklestuck2]

I wish I could go! D: But the person who usually does my Gamzee makeup is in Germany and I don't have a ride :C

We advise against any facepaint since it's rather difficult to get off and we don't need a huge mess made in the bathrooms. Have you checked the carpool post? If no one there works, try posting in the atlantastuck and/or atlstuck tags! You never know, you could really close to someone going that would be willing to pick you up!

Best of luck, we want everyone to go and have fun.

[sparklestuck2]

If I'm not able to bring anything for the gift exchange, can I still come if I don't accept a gift?

Definitely! No one is obligated to participate in the gift exchange.

If you have changed your tumblr URL since the time you RSVP'd, PLEASE message us and let us know what your old and new URLs are. We've noticed a few people change URLs, but we can't keep track of everyone on our own.

Thank you !!!

Carpool Things,

So, I just realized that our carpool master post of people who are available to give rides is completely blank. So, if you are able to give rides to people, please send us a message saying how many people you can accommodate, your general location, and how to contact you. 

In the meantime, I'll be adding those who submitted carpool-related posts already.

When is the latest that we can be donating money? I was mainly wondering if those of us doing commissions could still be drawing them during the event.

Yes, definitely, you can donate money during the event!
