I still am gathering details from Chris Jackson on PCC for this year. I plan on meeting with Chris next week when he gets back from vacation to secure more details. However, I want to start the ball rolling on getting our ducks in a row.Smile

As most of you know PCC had amazing growth last year and expect the same to this year. I will be coordinating it for the Star Wars Groups as last year.

There will be some changes in how ticketing will be done this year. In order to receive a discounted ticket ($30.00) you will need to sign up for 2 hours per days attending for table or photo duty. This way we have a better staffed table and photo ops for the convention. I will have you all Paypal the fees for the tickets so not to be handling cash at the convention. My Paypal is longshot7014@gmail.com.
Please either be in your costume or Group t-shirt when doing table duty. We want to represent well this year!

If TDE is going to have a table at this event, please feel free to send me a banner (must be wide, like the banner at the top of this page) that shows the event, date, etc and I'll put it on our website to help promote our presence there.

We shall "conquer" PCC again!  Loved what Obsidian Spire did there last year, inducting George Takei and getting Ray Park to sign the back of the Iridonia Temple banner.  Show no mercy!!   

Me and Lady B will be there as usual. With me being on call....again...for the con, not sure if I should sign up for a table time since I may get called away with no notice.

Bill...are all the Star Wars clubs going to be together again this year? If so, I can always float between the groups to help out wherever needed.

I have signed up, sent in my monies and can NOT WAIT for PCC this year! I'm stoked!

working on being there all three days. since i don't have a sith costume made yet I'll be rolling in my umbrella corp. uniform.
