-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dark Empire has a good operation history with the Wizard World convention circuit; our last table at one of their cons in the Coruscant Temple was in Anaheim in 2011.
If members are interested in attending the upcoming Portland event in February, please post here in this thread. If there is enough of an interest, we can see about contacting them for a TDE table. Please be advised, however, that I have the Coruscant banner. I can ship it, minus the stand for it.
If we can get enough members for this (at least five, to ensure that the table is staffed at all times), I or another full member in Coruscant can contact Wizard World. Please post below if you are a full member and interested in trooping this.

I know the Mercs are gearing up for this event here in Portland, and I'm certain we will have ORB support as well. It sounds like what has been working well is that all the groups share a general "Star Wars" table/booth. We've done the collective representation a few times now, and each time it's been a big success.

As for props, I like to use Sith holocrons; that's been a mainstay at pretty much every TDE fan table thus far.

Re: Wizard World - Portland, Oregon Feb. 22-24, 2013
For a two-day convention, we will need a minimum of five people to pull off keeping a table staffed for the duration of convention hours. If we can establish that here, then we can proceed with that.
Otherwise, I very much like the idea of combining forces with the Mercs and ORB (especially since ORB recently made me an honorary member, LOL).
So, let's do this - those that are willing to commit to troop this con, regardless of whether or not TDE has a table there, please post here, below. Based upon responses, if we have enough, I'll select one of you as a TDE point of contact in that area, and we can coordinate with Wizard World for a table. Otherwise, we can try to work with another club(s) as a backup plan.

Anyways, long story short: I'm in. That's one.

Course I have enough time...could always put my Sith back into production. 1 day Merc, 1 day ORB and 1 day TDE. I plan on jumping tables whenever possible.

Thank you, but can I do so in my Imperial Crewman/ Reserve Pilot uniform?

Don't get me wrong (we had a member wearing X-Men gear on the second day of a con recently, LOL. She did her TDE duty the first day of the con.) - it's very cool to rep Star Wars while manning a table, which is why we encourage a TDE or DER or other Star Wars shirt for forum members while staffing a table. But, for a couple of reasons, we don't allow costumes that are exclusive to the 501st; we don't want people confusing us for the Legion, and we respect certain costumes as part of their realm only (like we will take bounty hunters, but not Mandalorians, out of respect for the Mercs).
We'll take Vaders and Royal Guards (we see them as dark Jedi), but not Imperial Officers, Gunners, Pilots, Stormies, etc.
I hope that makes sense to ya. It's all about mutual club respect, to put it simply.
On the other hand, if you are bouncing back and forth to help man a table for both clubs, that would be understandable. We don't have a set policy prohibiting members of other clubs manning our tables at events, however, it is a sign of respect that we typically don't do that. Our charter calls for a full member in their TDE-approved costume, or a forum member in TDE or Star Wars-related shirt.
Dark Empire Radio shirts are always available, of course. You can find those here:

Also, is there a reason this thread got bumped into the archives? We've still got a month until the event.
Re: Wizard World - Portland, Oregon Feb. 22-24, 2013
Thanks for pointing that out!
Re: Wizard World - Portland, Oregon Feb. 22-24, 2013
ORB is also RIP at this point so it sounds like it will be me, Kol, Darth Seron, and Tan'mar that have expressed interest. Is this going to be enough for a table? Is it too late for a app?

As long as the table can be fully staffed at all times, then yes. However, it sounds to me like you'd need more help (there's no set minimum of people to man a table, only prior table duty / roster planning to ensure that it's always staffed during con hours).
Since the con is less than a month away, it's most likely too late to inquire on a fan table specifically for us. However, it wouldn't hurt to email them and inquire directly. Since you're in Oregon, you can agree on an Event Coordinator that is a full member (such as yourself) among those of you that are attending, and email Wizard World directly, on behalf of the group in your area. Or, if you would prefer, your Jen'ari or I can do that for you; just let one of us know. I have had a good working relationship with Wizard in the past; they know The Dark Empire well.
