Further Observations
After MFF I noticed a few things about Orvan and listed them. I tried to keep those in mind at Penguicon and can see, somewhat, how well the changes or attempted changes went.
Orvan needs to look up more, or at least not down quite so much.
Orvan needs to "overact" for photos and make the still shot seem more alive.Looking up (straight) isn't ( Read more... )
I used to work for "Rent-A-Nerd" (now defunct, so doubt there's a weblink anywhere), where I'd dress up in a typical nerd character (no comments, please! ;) ) and perform, in character, a comedy routine for the recipient. 'Twas a *lot* of fun, personally. (I like to tell people that I used to work as an entertainer performing at bachelorettes, which is technically true. ;) )
Anyways, usually, since someone would book me, usually when I got to the venue, there'd be someone (my contact) at the door waiting for me. (I'd be in character at this point, I made it a rule to be in character the instant I leave the car). Since they knew I was coming, at a specific time, they'd wait for me, and lead me to the intended (since I didn't know who they were, other than maybe some description they'd give me when they booked me for something to work a routine around)
Perhaps you can "Rent an Ox", where those who hire Orvan to deliver a package should meet up with you at a certain time and bring you quickly to the intended.

I had suggested that Orvan could deliver items that others acquired, but I did want to make sure that these items wouldn't be too much of a zing. That hadn't happened for MFF or Penguicon, at least not yet, but it has come up for a couple other things. I don't want to say too much publicly until things have happened. If you're really curious, send me an e-mail.
