3. Where do I buy memorabilia and other fun stuff?
   The Dealer's Room is in the Hilton this year in the Galleria Exhibit Hall. The hours are the same as the Walk of Fame (see above
4. Are actors x, y, or z coming to Dragon*Con this year?
   Please check the Dragon*Con main website for up-to-date coverage of guests. We do have several Harry Potter actors coming this year (currently James and Oliver Phelps, and Matthew Lewis), but we have no control over their shooting schedule or any other facet of their lives.
5. Can you get J.K. Rowling or "insert your favorite actor or author here"?
   The YA Lit track does not book guests. All guest bookings are done by the Dragon*Con Guest Committee. If you want to see someone particular, email a nice note to Mischa Hess at dc_guest_services@yahoo.com
6. Do you need to sign up for events before the con?
   Nope. Come as you are and sign up for our events at the con. Some panels or events may fill up quickly, so first come, first served.
7. Are we getting a bigger room this year?
   Gaming has been moved to the Marriott, so about 12 tracks are moving to the Hilton. Our home this year for Dragon*Con will be on the second floor of the Hilton in the Gwinett room. The size of the room is about the same as our room last year.
8. How do I volunteer to be on a panel or run an event?
   Email the track at dragonconyalit@gmail.com. If you don't hear back at the end of 7 days, email again.
9. Do you still need staffers?
   No, but thank you. Generally, staff comes from people who have frequented the track already and end up being invited to be staff. It's a hard, grueling job (seriously), and you probably wouldn't want it anyway.
