I haven't heard any talk about a large group photo of all costumed attendees this year, but that still may happen. If not, I'm thinking maybe before the con opens on Saturday, in front of the TDE table?

But first, can we get a show of how many members are committed to this event? I am going to try and take what little vacation time I have at work, so I should be able to man the table most of the time, if it comes to that.

Thank you, Darth Ziro, for donating these two items! Let's see if we can get some more soon before the con.

Re: Long Beach Comic and Horror Con - Nov.23-24 2013 Southern Calif.
Our sister club The Mandalorian Mercs will be immediately to our left, and the Twin Suns group will be to our right. Saber Guild will have a display in the same aisle, just a few tables down from us; the 501st Legion appears to have a HUGE display set up around the corner from us (possibly for their "Blast-A-Trooper" charity activity). I'm not sure if we can pull off a "Sith Inquisition" at this event, especially if our member attendance is low. However, I KNOW we'll doin' just that at Celebration 2015
I also have a timetable for when we'll be allowed to set up and break down the table, etc. Most likely, if I can get Friday off, I'll be up there Friday afternoon to set up the table. I'll post the timetable for that in another post soon.
For now, we desperately need at least five or six more items (we only have three) for the Wounded Warrior Project raffle. Lets see what we can come up with; its already November - please don't wait until the event to donate an item (must have $5 value or higher). I'll see what I can up with, as well.
This is a great opportunity for us to recruit new members, and we need them so that we can plan more events in Coruscant.
Re: Long Beach Comic and Horror Con - Nov.23-24 2013 Southern Calif.
Friday November 22, 2013 12:00pm-5:00pm
Hours of convention operation (show hours):
Saturday, November 23 9:30am -7:00pm
Sunday, November 24 9:30am – 5:00pm
*All Booths must be show ready by 9:30am on Saturday, November 23, 2013
I am going to put in for vacation from work for the Friday through Sunday, so that hopefully I will be free to head up there and set up our table on Friday afternoon. I can't guarantee it, but I should be able to. I'll post if there are any problems.
Some of the things I have for our display are:
- Three-foot wide HoloNet Audio Dramas table sign
- 100+ audio CDs
- Donated raffle items (we desperately need more)
- raffle tickets
PROPS:
- Two Sith holocrons
- Ancient Sith lightsaber hilt w/ Sith markings and stand (I might not use this, so it doesn't get confused for the saber in the raffle)
- Flip book of TDE trading cards (display only; cards cannot be removed from book)
- video slideshow of TDE members in costume (if power is available only)
- table cover
- Coruscant Temple banner
- TDE and HNAD biz cards
PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR LIGHTSABERS OR PERSONAL WEAPON PROPS OR OTHER ITEMS ON THE DISPLAY TABLE. We will be limited for space. If you need a place to put your personal items, please put them out of view behind the table.
Feel free to PM me or post here if you have any questions; hope to see as many of you as possible in a few weeks!

Stephen, the event is Saturday and Sunday - LOL. I'll be heading up there on Friday at about Noon to set up the table, which is when they'll let us in to set up.

Re: Long Beach Comic and Horror Con - Nov.23-24 2013 Southern Calif.
Hi Joe,
We are not able to approve outside food in the Convention Center (they want everyone to buy food from them), and they reserve the right to destroy anything they find that's not in compliance. But let's say you never asked.
Thanks,
Martha
I think, therefore, that cookies might not be a good idea at this con. It looks like Martha is willing to look the other way, but the convention center folks will frown on it.
As for comp passes, they are giving us two. I appreciate being granted one of them. For the remainder, I think it should go to a member that wants to attend but may be having a hard time with paying admission. (It's a pretty cheap con, in my estimation, at $45 for both days.) Otherwise, I think it should go to the Jen'ari. I'll let the Jen'ari decide if there is a member that needs it.
---
On a separate note, I've made a heavy-hearted decision, but I feel it is the right one. With the exception of the Hillsides orphanage troop next year (I started it, I'd like to keep it going) and Celebration in 2015, LBCHC this year will be my final troop. I'll still be a member here, carrying on the HNAD website and the TDE website (I own both, LOL), but that is all. I no longer have the stomach for a lot of the grief that has branched away from this organization, especially at my expense. I'll spare the rest of the reasoning, but know that TDE has been my home for more than four years, and I like to think I did my part to get it where it is today. I'll keep both websites going, and will pop in here on the forums from time to time after LBCHC is over, though not everyday like I've done all this time. I will consider myself "semi-retired" after this convention. It's been both an honor and a pleasure, and I am still pleased to remain as webmaster of thedarkempire.org and holonetaudiodramas.com
May the force continue to serve us all well, wherever and however it leads us.

Re: Long Beach Comic and Horror Con - Nov.23-24 2013 Southern Calif.
I'll bring all the props 'n' stuff then. I have a black table cover, if we don't want to use the red/black ground beef-lookin' one I have (it's two-sided). I suppose we can decide then.
I'm very worried about the raffle; we only have three items and it's starting to get very close to the con now. I'll see what I can donate - I'm a bit disappointed that we haven't more. We had many months to prepare for this.
Anino'j, since you're Jen'ari, can you start a table-duty roster at the bottom of the first post of this thread (for charter-compliance)? It doesn't have to be precise, but we should at least have an idea about who will start us off, etc, in two-hour increments. I think a group photo on Saturday at some point should probably be thrown on there, as well.

TDE members trooping this, please verify here so that our Jen'ari can make the necessary list.
Lord Mortis, if you need accommodations, Chateau Brutallica is at your disposal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a separate note, I posted the following on Facebook earlier today, about the charity raffle we are doing:
I've decided to donate three lightsabers, including two first-run Prophecies from Ultrasabers (they only made 600 from their first version, one of these is blue, the other green), the other a nice white-LED Saberforge piece, from my personal collection to complement the Imperial Knight hilt dinated by TDE's Spire of the Storm that will be raffled off at Long Beach Comic and Horror Con in a couple of weeks, to benefit the Wounded Warrior project. Blades will not be included, but the three I'm donating are in working order and are combat worthy. LBCHC will be my final con for quite a while (tgis is my first con since LBCHC last November), so here's to making it a good one. Look for them at The Dark Empire fan group table, #663 Nov. 23 &24. Let's see how much we can raise for the Wounded Warrior Project!
I also came up with the following rules for the raffle itself. I'll make a sign that can be posted with the following info:
RAFFLE Rules:
We will hold two raffle drawings:
Saturday at 6p.m.
Sunday at 4p.m.
Three numbers will be drawn each time.
Two of the lightsabers and one of the Vinylmations will be raffled each time.
You must be present to win.
We cannot ship the items.
Anyone may participate.
All proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
