We have a table.
They are requesting that we do 2 panels and I am requesting Rebel assistance for the Blast-a-Trooper on Saturday.
They cannot give us free power (convention center is charging $85.00 per table getting power).

I have proposed the following 2 panels:

Meet the Rebel Legion
Star Wars Fan Videos

They are comping us 6 badges. I am claiming 1 each for Jason and myself. We have all of the material needed to run the Blast-a-trooper (nerf guns, darts, sweeper, and banner). Jason and I are volunteering as targets (others are welcome to volunteer also). Our charity for Blast-a-Trooper in the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters.

I will be bringing my projector for panels (unless the convention center objects to not being able to bill for one). It has a VGA input, an S-video input, and a 1/8" stereo input for sound (but the speaker really is poor quality). My Netbook that I had for ROFCon got broken at ROFCon and is no longer available for use.

We need to have a table display, and a banner setup (but no electronics that require power). Also I plan to bring a couple of my camping chairs since they are supposedly only supplying 1 chair per table (additional chairs are $7 each. We are bringing our own).

Load in is Friday evening and early Saturday Morning. We cannot bring our stuff in through the front, so if you are bringing anything for the table, please arrive during load in hours (will confirm actual times of load in).

Getting passes (will work you mercilessly for these):
1 Rick Csernelabics
2 Jason Tuttle
3 Amy Kel
4 John Dittmyre
5 Andrew Robb
6

Rick--
I can be there to help man the table on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. I can be there as long as needed both days, just as long as I can get a break to run over to the Batmobile! Smile

As far as the Meet the Rebel Legion panel goes, if you need another body for it even though I'm still a newbie, I'm down for that, or I can man the table during the panel, whatever you guys need.

Sorry. They are passing the cost to them for power to whoever uses the power.

The convention center is charging $85.00 per table for power. Tidewater Comicon is not big enough to absorb this cost. The owner is paying the bills by selling off his comic collection.

...and maybe someone from VBCC has told you this: it will be cheaper to order electricity before move in for the con. The company I work for does two shows a year there. Electrical that is ordered the day of move in will be more than if it's ordered in advance.

Also, VBCC does NOT like it when anyone at all brings in their own food or drinks. If anyone does that and gets caught, they'll be forced to throw it out so you would have to purchase from the concessions stand. If anyone does bring in their own food (like if you make a McD's run or whatever), have another non-descript bag you can bring it in. The food there at VBCC is WAY overpriced and not so good.

We got a message via the Tyranus facebook site. I guess they're hosting a wedding at Tidewater at 4:15pm. She's looking for folks to create the lightsaber arch for the couple. We told her to submit a request via Rebel Legion. Smile
