DAY-OF INSTRUCTIONS! READ ME !
Please arrive for your scheduled shift with enough time to park, gain access, and suit up and be ready and in costume by the time you signed up for.
"WHERE DO I PARK?"?? - When approaching the casino, you'll see signs for terrificon by the Earth Tower hotel.?? You can park in the parking garage or large outdoor parking lot by the Earth Tower.?? Parking is free.
"WHERE DO I GO?" - The convention center entrance is to your left as soon as you walk into the casino building from the parking area.?? You won't be able to miss it.???? There will likely be a ticket sales kiosk and a ton of people in costumes.?? If you cant find it... you need to try a little harder.
"HOW DO I GET IN?!" - Like we've mentioned before.?? We have several passes to allow troopers to gain access.?? These passes are limited and will be specifically limited to costumed trooping members on a first come first serve basis.?? If you're planning on bringing extra people, be prepared to have to pay for their ticket to enter.?? In order to get the pass, contact a command representative once you're ready at the venue.?? You'll be met outside the doors with a pass.
"WHO ARE THESE MYSTERIOUS COMMAND REPRESENTATIVES?"??
Contact through Facebook messenger or text or calling.?? As shift times approach we will be looking for who should be coming in and keeping an eye out for your texts.
Main points of contact will be:
Joe Civitello - 813-362-1812
Nick Scofield - 203-430-2533If you can't get in touch with either of us, there should be several people on-shift you can reach out to via FB messenger.?? Please don't post in the Connecticut Hangout group asking for access.?? Use messenger or texting.
"IS THERE SOMEWHERE TO CHANGE?" - We will have some storage and changing space behind our blast door walls.?? Also there is going to be a small banquet room directly behind our area that can be used for changing as well.???? Saber Guild will have a room for their demonstrations that can potentially be used for a changing area as well but that would be at their discretion and timing.
"I AM BRINGING PEOPLE WITH ME WHO ARE IN COSTUME BUT ARE NOT APPROVED MEMBERS OF ANY GROUP AND I HAVEN'T CONTACTED COMMAND STAFF ABOUT BRINGING THEM AND I INTEND TO HAVE THEM HANG OUR AND PARTICIPATE AT THE 501ST TABLE..."
No.?? You aren't.???? We often have an issue at larger events where people decide on their own that they should just bring whatever family or friend to tag along and participate.?? The 501st legion holds itself to a high standard for a reason.?? Any person in-costume that is not an official member who has not gotten explicit approval from the CO to attend in costume will be asked to dress down into street clothes or leave the 501st/Rebel Legion vendor area.?????? Also, remember, access will be for troopers first.?? Any non-garrison personnel will be subject to buying their own ticket for access.
"ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED" - Within reason.?? You would be responsible for your child's behavior and accountability.?? Along with this, bringing a child will not absolve a member who is supposed to be trooping from trooping their shift.?? If the child attending causes issues or prevents their guardian from performing their duties, the trooper will be asked to leave or make other accommodations for the child attending.?? The trooper risks losing credit for a troop if they have to spend their trooping time monitoring a child attendee.
SETUP/BREAKDOWN - If you're signed up for setup, we will be meeting at the Mohegan Sun loading area at 9:30AM on Friday July 29.

Comments:??ANOTHER Terrificon is upon us! We have officially committed to our presence at Terrificon this year and are VERY excited to be able to be back again at Mohegan Sun! This weekend is always a great time and one of, if not our most, successful fundraising events of the year. This year we will again be raising money for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center and we will also be partnering up with our good friends at The Saber Guild. This post is to start getting a gauge of interest in the event. An official schedule will be set up a little down the road. We will have very limited tickets for the event so tickets will only be available to active members, working at least one full shift, in costume. We will assess the availability of tickets for wrangles if there are leftover tickets. ??We will let you know how many tickets are available once we have this confirmed with the event organizer. Anyone can of course troop and even if no free tickets are available, tickets are only $30-$35 each day, which is minuscule compared to the fun we have and more importantly, the fundraising impact we have at this event. ??Make sure when singing up that you let us know what day (s) you're interested in trooping.??Get off your butts and sign up!!!***********FOLLOW THIS LINK TO GOOGLE DOC FOR SIGN UPS!!!***********https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WMOlACZ02528pWtRYmnYVQzRnCBnmsxB0AAPlcEZkuc/edit?usp=sharing??????

It???s a huge fundraising day for us that we aim to make extremely family friendly, fun and engaging ???

For planning, set-up begins at 7am and we hope to be off the field by noon-ish as we breakdown!

Hey all! We love doing events with Make-a-Wish and this one will be a great one! Its an early arrival (around 7am) but well worth it! No blasters but Light Sabers and staffs are OK. They'd like 8 people, with a couple being Jedi so I have reached out to our friends at the Saber Guild / Kessel Temple??to see if a couple Jedi can attend.??

Comments: The Quiet Corner Sci-Fi & Comic Experience is a one-day event for fans of Science Fiction, Anime, Comics, Video Games, and anything that may classify as "General Nerdom"!??The Quiet Corner of Connecticut first experienced the highlights of Science Fiction and Comic Fandimonium in January, 2020 just weeks before the year seemed to take on a Sci-Fi vibe all on its own! At the first ever Quite Corner Sci-Fi & Comic Experience, residents from Northeastern Connecticut and the surrounding communities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island were able to meet with fan groups from major movie and television franchises, as well as talk one-on-one with Comic creators, authors and publishers. Fans of CosPlay were able to walk around showing off their style and were given a rare opportunity to talk with professional CosPlayers!??This event is hosted in the Historic Grosvenor Room and the Pomfret Room at Grill 37 at 37 Putnam Road in Pomfret, Conn. A video game Arcade is also set up in the Pomfret Room, which is accessible through the hallway that connects the room to the bathrooms.??The Quiet Corner Sci-Fi & Comic Experience came about as an effort to shine a light on what's fun in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut and give its fans an experience that is truly out of this world!??

Comments: We are looking to host a Father's Day event at the Ansonia Pubic Library, and felt that you can't go wrong with Star Wars and Dads! We would love to make this a yearly event as Father's Day and our Summer Reading Kickoff occurs during the same weekend. It would be a fantastic way to "hook" hesitant readers, especially the 8-11 year old boy demographic which, as a children's librarian, is the toughest age range for me to get reading in the summer.
Referred by: ??I read about a library that used the 501st to celebrate May 4th and it was a huge success getting families, that otherwise may not have visited, into the library.??This should be a fun, small event and I'd love to see us fulfill this request.
