**Table shift spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao8qh6IhlH1kdG5pbjhfSG1oN215YXQwQXpPZXhLcEE&usp=sharing
**NOTE SHEET WILL BE PRINTED AT MIDNIGHT WED NIGHT, ANY FURTHER EDITS WILL LIKELY BE DONE BY HAND ON PRINTED COPIES
Posted before I looked so pardon on the double post Rick, I just molded yours into mine:
engineer wrote: | We will also need people to man the table as well as bring items for display.
Plan on having a single table of 6' to 8' in length. We will also need to be able to break the table down nightly since it will be in an unsecured location.
Our panels are currently scheduled for: Saturday 10AM to 11AM, Saturday 6PM to 7PM, and Sunday from 12:30PM to 1:30PM.
Tables are not my thing, but I will take Friday Morning at the table. I will definitely need some help since I will also be handling liaison duties for both the Rebel Legion and the 501st. I will also help out on Saturday morning (when not doing the panel from 10 to 11). |
Ok Being we will only have 1 table to do I'd like to comprise a list of the few things besides all our info and such that perhaps we might consider displaying.
Here is the stuff I will make sure I have in my possession for the table (Joel, I'll get the stuff for the table from you sometime between 2/17 and 2/21):
- RL / FB Banners
- Costume binder
- Print Materials (business cards, post cards, bookmarks, etc)
- Music source (SW music going in some shape or form)
- Slide Show to give details on the Rebel Legion (could also be another booklet to save on space just would need to print it out)
- Slide show of pictures of events
If anyone has a spare laptop that they could volunteer it would be appreciated.
(My preference would be to have anyone who has a laptop receive the PowerPoint files so while they are sitting at the table if the laptop for something was needed by its owner, they could take it and another set up.)
If anyone has a means of moving something Off of a table or making it take up less space, let me know (perhaps a spare monitor to put on the table for the laptops if compatible, things like that)
I'll also get a spreadsheet up in the next day or so for table shifts. I would prefer it be used as a guideline so there is flexibility rather than a strict schedule, like always just as long as everyone helps to man the table and no one is left feeling they are "stuck" there. _________________ "So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause..."

I have my trading cards and I have some Star Wars Silly Bandz although I guess they're not as in vogue as they used to be. I think I still have some tattoos and stickers somewhere, too. Will have to check.
I usually end up hanging around the table most of the day anyway, but I know that I can definitely be there mid to late afternoon, especially when the non-Imperial armor panel is occurring.
I have to warn you guys, though, that I am still recovering from my foot injury and will not be able to stand for prolonged periods of time. _________________

I have copied the rules governing the fan tables below. The hours that there will be con staff available should probably be considered the "operating hours". There will be no overnight security provided, so we should plan on breaking down the table nightly, and setting back up in the morning.
Club / Con Alley is currently Full. Thank you for your interest.
Hours of Operation:
Club / Con alley is operated under the Artist Alley and also is open 24 hrs, however AA Staff will be available:
Thursday: 3pm to 9pm for questions / structure setup
Friday: 10am to 6pm
Saturday: 10am to 6pm
Sunday: 10am to 2pm
General Rules:
Rules are subject to change; advance notice of changes may not be possible
Items sold in Club Row are related to and directly promote the club (e.g. flyers, memberships, t-shirts, buttons). No duplication reproduction of licensed material or [re]selling of commercial products (i.e. store bought merchandise) will be allowed.
Absolutely NO use of alcohol or drugs in Club Row will be tolerated! Those caught doing such will have their badge revoked and thrown out on the spot.
Absolutely NO smoking in the Club Row or in the hotel/convention center. Those caught doing so will have their badges revoked and may be fined by the hotel/convention center.
Absolutely NO posting of any flyers anywhere in the hotel or in the Convention Center other than clearly marked posting areas.

Bringing your own tables to set up in addition to your table space is NOT allowed.
Watch your table(s). ROFCON will not be held responsible for Lost or Stolen items. If you find the need to leave your table, either pack your belongings or find someone you trust to watch out for you wares in your absence.
Convention Participants are required to wear their badges visibly at all times.
Any issues or disputes should immediately be brought to the attention of the AA Director or other AA staff members. (For this year, correct? Or is someone in charge of them?)
While in Club Row, all convention, Local, State and Federal rules are in effect.
CLUB ROW – Who, What, Where, Why & How:
Please keep in mind:
Club Row is currently in the hallways of the convention’s host hotel, space is limited and highly sought after.

Absolutely NO copyrighted material such as logos, symbols, or icons are allowed in any form to be sold in Club Row -unless- written permission is given and brought for verification.
No attaching to the walls or columns – anything that leaves a mark will be considered potential vandalism.
NOT permitted in the CLUB ROW:
No duplication/reproduction of licensed material
No (re)selling of commercial products. (store bought merchandise)

Noise Restriction:
Be courteous to your fellow neighbors next to and nearby your table. Noise from music, videos, chatter, etc. should be kept at a reasonable level. Warnings will be issued but not limited to complete removal of a club without recompense at the AA Director’s and Con Chair’s discretion.
A Reminder That…

I also have a laptop I am bringing to the con. Unfortunately it will be required for use in panels, so I cannot make it available for use at the table. |

The weapons policy,
Does that pertain to static props such as lightsaber hilts, and what about fully functional lightsabers?
As for our table the hours Rick listed will be the hours our table is open _________________ "So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause..."

Lightsabers SHOULD be OK. We tend to get a little leeway from these folks (my experience at Nekocon). We just shouldn't pick them up and wave them. |

What if someone wants to take a photo of us with said lightsabers?
And no stickers? So I can't bring any Star Wars stickers for the younglings?
And Joel noticed they moved the Meet the RL panel up by 30 minutes to 9:30 AM. _________________

I dropped off the suitcase with John today with the banners, table runner, PR Materials, Backdrop stand, trading cards, flat panel monitor for the table, etc etc etc.
I will bring the Tantive Backdrop on Saturday so that we can set that up behind the table if we want and I will have an easel as well for the KEEP CALM posters.
I was also planning on bringing my Naboo to put on a Mannequin for the Meet the RL panel or for Soft Costumes panel along with my props and such
I have my sabers, Bail Organa blaster, Naboo Blaster, Han Blaster, etc. _________________ "Why, you stuck up,..half-witted,..scruffy-looking,..nerf-herder!"..."Who's scruffy-looking?"

Jyn'ah checking in - I can definitely man the table from after the "Meet the RL" panel to 2pm on Saturday - I have to leave AT 2pm on Saturday as we have a gala to go to that night we already bought tickets to (non-ROFcon related)
Should be able to add some more time in on Sunday as well, right before or right after the soft armor panel.
when I am there I will stay in Jedi character/costume  |

Is there someone to man the table during the panel?
I was just curious as everyone will be in the panel. _________________ "Why, you stuck up,..half-witted,..scruffy-looking,..nerf-herder!"..."Who's scruffy-looking?"
