Last year during the special, one of the players at the table I was GMing bought me a beer. That's the full extent of alcohol consumption I believe I've ever performed myself while GMing. (Caffeine consumption, on the other hand....)Let's be honest. Last year at BOTH specials, one of the players bought you a beer.
My memory fades :) But, yes, I think that's right, and I think it was the same player. (3 or 4 of the players were the same at both tables.)

I cannot speak as to when the schedule will be released, but the volunteer list is being finalized as we speak. HQ and ACG GMs have already been notified of their status. RPG GMs and RPG/ACG mix GMs should receive their confirmations as well as their GM schedule over the next 24-48 hours. I will post when the last of the confirmation emails go out so you will know if you were/not selected as a volunteer.

You are awesome!

At this time, all volunteer confirmations have been sent out. We had a large surplus of volunteer candidates (many more than we need) so if you did not receive a notice, your volunteer services were not required. We still hope you plan to attend.
There are always some cancellations each year as real life forces volunteers to change their plans. We keep a list of potential volunteers on a standby list so there is still a chance you could be asked to volunteer. There is also the possibility that if you volunteered but want to upgrade your tier status, cancellations might make that possible.
PaizoCon is sure to be an exciting and fun-tastic event. So, whether you are a volunteer or just a player, we hope to see you there!

so, I didn't see the volunteer thing until today and this is also my first Paizocon. I was wondering other than GM's what type of Volunteers are usually needed? (for next year, maybe) thanks
There is always a need peeps to work the HQ table. Beyond this and Gming, there really isn't all that much for which to volunteer. If you get there early enough, you can always swing by the PFS room and ask if there is anything you can do. Someone will put you to work doing something.

We have HQ volunteers who help with setup, tear down, logistics, and mustering players as well as GMs. All the positions are currently filled for this year, but we occasionally have cancellations. If you would like to be added to the stand-by list, you can send an email to Tonya. Might as well CC me since I am managing the grid for her and will get the email anyway. We can also always use help setting up on Thursday morning/afternoon if you'll be around. It would be in an unofficial capacity, but a lot of people join in just for fun and to start interacting with folks they haven't seen in months or more. You are welcome to join us for that.
EDIT -- and what Jon said! :-)
The best chance for volunteering is to be watchful starting at the 1st of the year. Information about the convention starts to leak out around then, and the call for volunteers is usually in the Monday PFS blog later in January or February. The sooner you express interest, the better chance you'll get in. Most volunteer slots are generally first come, first serve. The same process can be said of GenCon as well.
Thanks for expressing interest in help out!
