Some announcements will be about new things you can sign up for at Azkatraz, others will be about ways to give Azkatraz-ian gifts, or volunteer, or get to San Francisco - and there's more! We'll be crossposting to the following pages/sites: http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/hpef-events http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/hpfgu-convention http://twitter.com/HPEF http://azkatraz.livejournal.com http://kickin_azkatraz.livejournal.com http://www.hpef.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=26 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11207479955 http://www.hp2009.org/?q=rss.xml And, of course, http://www.hp2009.org This is the only post we'll be making this month elsewhere. Today's announcement? A Claymation Workshop on Monday, July 20, 2009 at ZEUM. Fictionalley and ZEUM are partnering with AZKATRAZ for Creativity is Magic Day at ZEUM, and one of the activities you can sign up for is the Claymation Workshop. Learn the basics of stop-motion animation in this project-based workshop. Groups of 4-5 will each design their own clay characters and produce a short animated film using multimedia tools. Groups will be set up ahead of time and can use the HPEF Forums in late June and July to work together and develop a story concept. On Monday, July 20, 2008, each group will spend nearly two hours sculpting clay characters and filming a stop motion animation movie. Each participant will leave AZKATRAZ with a clay figure or two and a claymation movie on DVD or flash drive. We're going to have two sessions of 30 people each - one for registrants 16 years and up, from 9 til 11 in the morning, and one from 1:30 until 3:30 in the afternoon for kids ages 8 to 16. You can sign up when you register, or by modifying your registration at https://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Register/IdentityConfirmation.aspx?e=f819871c-99ce-45a7-9c71-28234ff6a033 .

Message-ID: <5913e6f80812151913i250488a7rc653bcfc880a1b2c@...> In conjunction with HP Alliance, and in support of Amnesty International, HPEF is taking wizard rock into San Francisco Bay with WROCK AROUND THE ROCK, a four-hour cruise featuring wrock, games, and a tour of Alcatraz from the water. There will be food, an open bar (three hour open bar with alcohol available for a small additional fee), and music from Brian from the Draco Malfoys, The Remus Lupins, The Whomping Willows, The House of Black, Ministry of Magic and more! Also, we'll have one deck on the yacht that's music-free, with space for games, conversation and, of course, food! NOTE: We need to sell at least 300 tickets by the beginning of March for the cruise to happen. If we don't, we'll give full refunds and find another way to wrock out on Friday night, but it won't be anywhere near as fantastic as WROCK AROUND THE ROCK could be! You can purchase up to four tickets now if you have a one-day, full or Merlin's Circle registration; if there are still tickets available, we'll open purchases to the general public in February, 2009. Cost - $75 for the first 150 registrants, $90 once we hit 150 registrants, through March 1, $100 thereafter. (If you're over 21, you can add the full-bar option for $25 any time before July 1; we'll be adding it as a separate option in late January, and if you have a WATR ticket, it cannot sell out.) Check out the poster at http://www.hp2009.org/images/wrock/Poster.jpg and learn more about the event at our FAQ at http://www.hp2009.org/?q=node/42 Hope to see you at Azkatraz next summer!
