In order to help ensure that we're well organized for a bigger and better event next year (as opposed to this year's somewhat limited staff setup,
which was, essentially, Dr. Grood do everything for as close to nothing as possible except run Jeopardy and Ace be ready to back him up with video when he is
unable to run the film projector) I am currently taking applications for the following staff positions for SerialFest 2010. Please note I cannot guarantee a
position for everyone but I will do what I can to work you in if you are interested. The following are job descriptions for the available jobs. Email me at
serialhq at aol.com if interested in a position for next year, as this time (don't faint now) it may be a good idea to get started early in
planning/publicity, etc.
