Convention Terrificon 2019 - 08/09/19 11:00 AM to 08/11/19 05:00 PM

https://www.terrificon.com/home.html (warning: you might want to turn down your volume and put on sunglasses before clicking the link).??? This year we have been re-invited to take a table at Terrificon, one of the biggest comic book conventions in Connecticut. We'll have a chance to mingle with other costumers, promote the 501st, and have fun! We will also be doing another helmet raffle for charity this, thanks to Walt's Trooper Factory. I'm also looking in the feasibility of getting autographs and appearances with the Star Wars guests at the convention - Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian and honorary 501st member), Paul Gulacy (author of the comic series "Crimson Empire"), and Greg Hildebrandt (legendary Star Wars author/illustrator). Info below is copied from last year. --Signups-- As with all multi-day events, we'll be setting up in shifts.?? Please let me know which shift(s) you'd like to participate in when you RSVP for the event. Entrance badges/wristbands will be held at the table.??I've been given a varying estimated numbers of how many we'll have, so assume that we might have to micromanage a bit. If you are arriving for a shift mid-way through the day and need a badge to get in, please text/call one of the command team phone # at the top of this page. We'll be expecting you. Please RSVP to the event if you're attending, and??POST BELOW on which shift(s) you'll be attending! Shifts last 3-4 hours each. You're expected to be??DRESSED AND READY??at the start time, so come early! You're expected to??STAY AT THE TABLE??or move around the venue as discussed on the day.?? Do not leave the table to check out the convention during shift time! At the end of your final shift for the convention, please return your entry badge to a wrangler or command team member. Children are welcome??to come costumed but must be attended!?? Remember this event will get??very busy at times.?? The above rules for being on time and staying at the table apply! --RECRUITS-- If you'd like to attend as a wrangler and help keep our members safe, set up or break down our tables, and keep us company, it is always appreciated!?? This is a fantastic way to get involved with the garrison while still waiting on your costume build.?? Just post below or PM me to be added to the sign up list We will need folks to help put up and break down our props and tables on Friday and Sunday.???? --LOGISTICS-- Please arrive in good time in advance of your shift. We have an area allocated to us by the front entrance of the convention, and a changing room close by that we will be sharing with the other costumed exhibitors. A map of the convention floor can be found here: ?? I suggest you change in the changing room and then bring your bin over to our area for safekeeping. --OTHER ITEMS-- We will be running a raffle of a Stormtrooper Commander helmet, kindly donated by @rottie??and assembled/painted by @First0rder. A truly beautiful job! Tickets will be $5 and all proceeds go to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center. ?? Additionally, I have been successful in??nominating??the comic book art Paul Gulacy (best known in Star Wars for as the artist for the series "Crimson Empire", probably my favourite SW comic) as a Honorary Member of the 501st. I have a plaque and some stuff to give him over the weekend - still working out exactly when he'll be free for the presentation. We need a group photo! ?? Topic is for discussion of event.??
