Long Beach Comic Con - November 3rd & 4th, 2012

Sounds good to me

Lord Bruticus;
As discussed, I will assist the Temple with table duty on Sunday the 4th. Glad to be of support and assistance. .

Hey Joe, I will be there on both Saturday and Sunday. I can do table duty on both days as long as it coordinates with saber guild as well.

Joe,
Myself and Darth Anino'j will be attending the Con as well. As we are dual duty (SG and TDE as well as Shoot - a - Whoever(hehehe!!!) with the 501st. I have additionally acquired some nifty fun noodles to go over lightsaber blades so that we may do our best to "deflect" blaster shots, while keeping surrounding folks relatively safe. we will have a red one available for TDE/SG as well as green and blue ones. I think this will help with the overall fun! I'm looking forward to meeting more of the Coruscant temple! Let's do this right have fun and most of all show that evil will always triumph because good- is dumb!

I am neither Darkness Nor the Light - I stand alone...

Thanks, gang. First post is now updated.

Saviin, I see this is your first post - welcome to the TDE forums! Please feel free to introduce yourself in the "Roll Call" section when you are able. We're glad to have you!

All forum members that are interested in table duty are encouraged to wear a Star Wars shirt of some kind, or Dark Empire Radio shirt. It's not required, of course.

We should have table duty done in 2-hour increments; I'll set that up shortly. If anyone has a preferred time they would like, please post here (check the LBCC website for programming info, etc). Otherwise, we can work it out at the con; I plan to be at the table most of the time.

Thanks for the help, everyone!

I havent seen a map yet are TDE, SG, and 501st close to each other?

On the second page of this fourm is the link The Brutal one put up.

On the map in relation to a clock TDE 359, SG 463 & RL 459 are at about 2:00 same size booths.

501st 849? is at about 8:00 They've a much larger space so a seperate area.

Dark Tidings,
I may have skipped it, but the 501st has also extended the offer for members of the TDE and other groups to join in the fun of Shoot a trooper. That being said, I went out and purchased foam fun noodles to go over lightsaber blades for this event, THEY WILL HELP IN DEFLECTING SHOTS AIMED AT YOU as well as keep people nearby from any direct blade hits (not like it matters they're just TKs, right?!?!?!). See y'all there!

Can't wait to see everyone at the con

Lord Ziro

I am available to volunteer for both days. Please let me know where I may be needed.

Hello, Frank. Thanks for posting; I've updated the post in the first thread with your name on the roster for both days.

If there is a two-hour time slot that anyone would prefer, please post here and I will get that set up on the roster in the first thread.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I just received the following announcement from the con. The massive group photo with Stephen Stanton will be on the outside steps at 8:45am, with a call time of 8:30am. I will be getting there around 7:30 for setup. Here is the announcement:

---------------------------------------


Call to all Costume Characters and Cosplayers: On Nov. 3, 2012 at the Long Beach Convention Center, 300 E. Ocean Blvd. we will be holding a Group Photo and Procession! The group photo time is 8:45AM with an 8:30AM call time to any costumers that wish to participate! We plan to just have everyone meet at the top of the main Stairs to the convention center. If we start getting everyone organized and ready between 8:45 and 9:00AM, we will then take the photos we want and be done by 9:20AM or so, and afterwards everyone can proceed up to the Media location for the opening ceremony.



Once everyone is on the steps, we foresee doing 3 quick photos with Tarkin and Vader front and center as follows:

1. All costumers and groups who are there for the photo - and for characters who wear helmets, we do a 'buckets off' photo so they can see themselves.

2. Then we do a full costume (buckets on) photos of the costumers, and proceed through the Convention Center Lobby and on to the Exhibit Floor of the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con, where the Opening Ceremony will be held. The costumed characters will gather on the exhibit floor, framing the Vice Mayor of Long Beach, Robert Garcia, the organizers of the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con and other guests for opening remarks and photo opportunities for attendees and media.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity! No registration is required - just show up at 8:30 AM on Nov.3 in your costume and be ready for the experience of a life time!


Offering a weekend packed with special guests and exhibitors and engaging panels, Long Beach Comic & Horror Con will be open on Saturday, November 3 from 10:00am - 7:00pm, and from 10:00am to 5:00pm on Sunday, November 4.

Join LBCHC on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and information about this year's show! And don't miss out on our last minute weekend pass ticket offer - save $5.00 when you purchase your pass this week using code *Digg12* - extended until Wednesday, October 31 at midnight.

P.S. New barcode scan ticketing system this year!! *Advance Ticket Holders get into the exhibit floor at 9:30 AM!

Do'h I made a rather large mix up. I wont be able to go on Sunday. I will be there on Saturday. Sorry for the last minute confusion!

Thanks, Lord Scios. First post is now updated.

I will be at the TDE table 90% of the time both days; I'm not interested in merchandise or celebrities much this time around, only hanging out with pals at the fan tables.

As such, there isn't a table duty schedule in two-hour increments this time, however, I will ask each of you to work out your table duty shifts at the con with each other. There are more than enough of us to pull off both days, especially with me being there most of the time (I will visit the other fan groups, especially the Mercs, and troop the con floor a few times; otherwise I'll be at our table).

I'm picking up SPR at the airport in a few hours from now; we'll be setting up the table on Friday afternoon. See y'all this weekend!

Remember, call time for the large all-cosplayer group photo with Stephen Stanton and Rick Fitts is 8:30am on Saturday. I'd like to do a TDE group photo at our table later that morning, and one on Sunday.

Sounds good to me

Mission Report from The Brutal One, ye olde Tyran'ari, TDE-021

On November 03rd and 04th 2012, members of the Coruscant Temple of The Dark Empire welcomed the Jen'ari of the Korriban Temple - Sith Princess Revan TDE-076 and trooped the Long Beach Comic and Horror Convention in Long Beach, California.

TDE raised funds and created awareness for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and members also participated in the 501st's Shoot-A-Trooper event for charity.

Lord Bruticus interviewed various members of fellow Star Wars fan groups, about the charity work they were conducting, and also about their respective clubs. The Brutal One also interviewed honorary member Stephen Stanton, who was also presented with his own TDE challenge coin. We figured the soon-to-be-Moff needed to be able to consume his flag-officer's-only beverages in relative safety, while at the same time showing his allegiance to the side of the Force that got him to his lofty position in the first place.

This was a very sentimental con experience for The Brutal One, as El Bruto shall explain in episode 73 of our podcast. Many good times were had by all that attended; thanks to all members, forum and official, that participated.
