WHAT
CAN
WE
DO
FOR
YOU?

Room Patrol
Our most requested service. Art Show, Dealer's Room, Special Display Areas. Combining Access Control with sharp eyes. Making sure the items in the room remain in the room and unwanted items remain out. Also Bag Check, room clearing at closing and even overnight security.

Crowd Control
This can be anything from door guard duty to helping 5000 fans find their seats at the Masquerade in a friendly and orderly fashion.

Guest Escort  
Special Guests require special handling. We get your special people to and from their events ontime, and smoothly. Stage Appearances, Panels and Autograph sessions all present special concerns that we're ready to handle for you. We know how to keep the events happy and enjoyable for fan and guest alike.

For specialty conventions proper attire can be arranged. For example, our earliest contracts employed us as "The Klingon Diplomatic Corp" ~ Original Series "Star Trek" Klingons with a softer touch.

Auctioneering
We are proud to count some of fandom's finest auctioneers in our Crew. Midwest style, highly entertaining, money-maker auctions. Point us at a room, hand us something to sell and stand back and enjoy. All aspects of formal (Tuxedoed Dandies) to whimsical (Sneering Pirates) auctions can be arranged.

Operations
New at putting on a convention or just short-staffed? Our members have worked a multitude of cons in virtually every staff position and stand ready to advise or assist you. No convention is too big or too small to call on the Dorsai Irregulars.


WHAT
DOES
IT
COST?

Our terms are flexible!

Our "Usual" deal is that all the expenses to get our crew to, from and through your convention are covered. (i.e. memberships, gas money - maybe food, rooms etc.)

We are willing to work out a deal in keeping with your convention's resources.


WHAT
DO
YOU
GET?

A Dorsai Irregular Contract gets you experienced, competent and reliable people for your convention. We organize ourselves, assign our own shifts, schedule personnel appropriate to the duty station and we're there, on time, everytime, throughout the con.

Have no fears of "overbearing Stormtroopers" enraging your confolk. Uniforms and attitudes went out with the Seventies. We don't carry weapons (okay, maybe the occasional water gun and maybe some candy whips, but that's it!), we don't wear jackboots (okay, my mother does, but that's it! Really!) and we don't manhandle fen.

[ Patch ]
The Dorsai Irregular Logo Patch
Kelly Freas Design

Our berets, belt buckles and shirts, (bearing a distinctive logo designed for us by Kelly Freas), are intended to enhance our visibility and foster a sense of teamwork and fellowship. Irregulars are longtime, well-known fans recruited for their ability to work well together and cope flexibly with the individuality that characterizes fandom.

 

Finally, there is one other "service" which does not appear on our Contracts... "The Dorsai Irregular Shore Leave Party".

Since many of the most popular raconteurs and filkers in the US Midwest and Canada are DI. or friends of the DI, anywhere the Irregulars spend more than 24 hours there's going to be a Party. These well-known, fun, safe, social events can be just the right capper to an enjoyable day at the convention.
