6/15-17 - All-Star Comic Con - Vienna/Tysons

treblemaker (Carly Kennedy)

June 15-17, 2018

All Star Comic Con
Sheraton Tysons Hotel
8661 Leesburg Pike
Vienna, VA 22182

NoVA Captain’s Note: This is a brand new convention, let’s take this opportunity to build up some Rebel visibility in Northern Virginia!

**Booth Display Spreadsheet link**

We have been given a 8x10 booth in the Ballroom, so let’s do our best to flesh out the space! Please let me know what of the following you can provide in the above spreadsheet:

Rebel Legion table runners/banners
Backdrop for photo ops
Costume/prop pieces
PR documents

If you are unable to attend but would like to lend display items, please specify so we can arrange pick-up ahead of time.[/list]

**Sign-up Spreadsheet link**

Exact hours of the convention are unknown at this time, I will update the spreadsheet as we get those.
The spreadsheet is divided by days on different tabs, be sure you are signing up for the correct slot you intend to!

Regarding Badges:

Badges will go to Rebel Legion members only.

We only have 1 free vendor badge. The person who receives this badge will be working the Rebel Legion booth the majority of the convention. You need to be willing to spend the majority of each day working at the booth (occasionally swapping off with me for breaks as needed).
We are able to pick up 4 additional vendor badges for $25 each. These will be prioritized by how much time folks sign up to help out with the booth.
Time commitments are the one and only priority for vendor badges. The more time you commit to, the higher a chance of getting either the free or a discounted badge.

Free vendor badge: RebelFlightTest
$25 vendor badges (4 total): StardustScavenger, AraFace, Jon-Ari_Kenobi

Note: A full weekend pass without any discount is only $50, which isn't bad at all! My recommendation is that those who will either be tentative on attending until closer to the date or don't want to be glued to the RL booth the majority of the time go ahead and plan on purchasing your own pass. You can also be sure to follow All-Star on Facebook and get added to their mailing list in case they post or send out any discount codes!

Booth Duty Expectations:

Sign-in at the beginning of each shift
Engage guests: general PR/recruitment, be available for photo ops when in costume
Please be in costume if possible or rotate between costumed and out-of-costume shifts. When you are out of costume working the booth please wear a Rebel Legion shirt if you have one, otherwise a more general Star Wars shirt is fine. Let’s build that Rebel visibility!

Changing Room Space: I am unclear on if there is a space provided by the convention yet, but my hotel room can be available upon request.

I am out of town 6/8-6/16, but I might be able to make it to the con on 6/17. I won't know until the last minute if I'll have any steam left after vacation or if I'll be collapsing on the couch for the day.

I have a Rebel Legion banner and other materials that could be used for display, but you would need to pick them up before I go out of town 6/8.

I've signed up to help out with setup on Thursday. Friday is all 501st for me, but if they have sufficient coverage I can always help out at the table as needed. Not sure about the rest of the weekend yet.

Jon-Ari_Kenobi (John Dittmyre) · Posted: Wed May 02, 2018 6:40 pm Post subject:

I am tentatively attending.

If I am able to make it I will have table runners, computers, some print materials, props, costume bits etc.

I've updated the original post, the free vendor badge has been assigned, we still have four $25 vendor badges available that we can purchase on site if anyone else is willing to spend time helping out at the table.

Please also let me know if you have any display/PR items, trading cards, etc you'd like to make available even if you can't attend so we can figure that out ahead of time!

If work allows it, I will be there on Friday from 12:00 noon to sometime after 3:00 pm. I don’t know about Saturday because I have to do a Birthday Party Event for GT as Kylo. Father’s Day plans are also still up in the air.

I see that you need a backdrop- I have a Death Star backdrop that you can use if you would like.
