Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board 2008: the ultimate MEET-UP at San Diego: wrap-up, pics and sharing experiences

But a small press table requires a current copy of your publication. We wouldn't qualify unless we got some of the guys from Klordny to help. If the prices don't change and the discount holds, we may be able to raise $700 by January. Only 70 of us at $10 a head. I'd put up $50 to $100 of it myself by November/December if we decided we really want our own table.

And does this cover preview night? I couldn't tell from the app if it was just preview night or the whole con including Thursday.

Plus we'd definitely want to make sure we had power available which it appears you can't arrange before hand for booths but can for tables.

Sent out an e-mail.

Looking at the list of those who may be there next year, it would be an additional $28 a head (counting couples like Caroline and I as two, so $56 for us) to get a table. I think it would be a great place to have even just to meet and have a place to store stuff.

exactly! and except for the Storm Troopers who go all out on uniforms, none of those groups seem particularly big-budget.

According to the map, fan/club tables are on the Mezzanine Level (below the Ballrooms and above the exhibit hall).

well three of us LWers who are also Klordnyites have expressed interest in going, so it's definitely possible.

that sounds right... it's not on the main floor, of course, but it is not a bad palce to be.

A place to call our own? Do it!

Think how nice it would be to invite Barry, Ronda, Dennis, etc. to stop by for a visit at the LEGION WORLD table!

I am also considering coming. If I can make the money work and rig it so I don't feel like I'm abandoning my wife and kids, I'll be there.

So if I bring some Marvel/Zombie friends, would they be allowed to hang out with us?

Yes. Jess and the guys are more than welcome. Thinking about dragging any others along?

I've got three others, but- well you've seen my friends. We're gonna need a bigger boat...

Well hopefully there'll be less of me so that leaves more room for others.

I'll be bringing a Boom Tube...

I want to get back to Cobie's comment about raiding Iowa for LW'ers...

I'm just remembering Boston and how nice it was to have that one designated table that we made into our Legion World Con HQ and comparing it to the madness that was SD 2006 where just finding each other for lunch or whatever was a major hassle...

Get the fan table Scott, I'll definitely help with the cost.

Not a... Sonic... Boom Tube, I hope?

Agreed. A central, staffed point to coordinate messages, gatherings, updates and changes will be mega-needed, especially if our numbers work out as it appears. Trying to meet at the DC booth, or on the back patio, or places X, Y or Z were a nightmare - as was getting word to people as plans changed and situations arose.

I expect Klordny would be willing to help with donations of our fine publication. And I would be happy to contribute to the cost of the table, whether or not I get there.

We need to do this and let me know how much and when you need it by and I'll chip in our share.

I'd be happy to chip in for a fan table. As much as the dealer or small-press table sounds cool, I'd hate to bump a legitimate, product-selling comic establishment for us. I know there will be plenty of others, but it doesn't seem fair. Just like, as much as I love my partner in a Utilikilt , I think a more comic-related business should have their spot.

Also, we've run into this with APA-LSH. You definitely want to check with Klordny members. We've had issues with people not even wanting their contributions to go into spec copies we send people who are seriously considering membership -- privacy issues and whatnot.

Agreed! What would this con be without Calamity King? We need to start pestering him, since I bet he doesn't check this thread anymore (given its lenghtiness). That goes for others too, like a certain 'most beloved of all posters'!

As for the fan table, I'll definately pitch in!

Good point, seymour.

A table in the small press area would also be a difficult place for all/most of us to garther ant any single time; the mezanine is rarely as crowded as the main floor, and we can alsways spill out onto the back deck.

Plus the mezzanine allows us to look down on all the unwashed masses! Quite appropriate for superior sentinents (as we know Legion fans are)

You can add me to the tentative list. Very tenatative as I am not sure what my financial situation will be like.

I like the idea of a fan table on the mezzanine. It would be better suited for us rather than a table on the floor. If I am there, I'll definitely do my share of monitor duty.
