I'm not sure this is the right place; I'm really looking for a way to contact the 2009 con staff personally, but the site was not too helpful.
My name is Christina Williams; I attended NDK 2009 but had to leave Friday night as my mother--back in Texas--passed away early that evening. I left a giftbag with a con staff member, so that they could attempt to deliver it to another con-goer in my absence; however, they never received it, which is understandable, due to the size of the con, the limit of staff members, and how busy everyone was. Unfortunately, the contents of the bag were moderately expensive and also sentimental, and I would like to track down the staff member that I left it with--they should remember me--so that I can find the package and arrange for it to either be mailed back to me in Texas, or mailed to Canon City where its recipients live.
Thanks for all the help. I'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time at NDK, but what little I experienced was a blast, and I hope I can try again to attend in years to come!
