WONDERCON SIGN UP

Wanted to get a good list going of those TDH members who will be attending WonderCon next month - also where people are staying and when they are coming in. I may try to get a dinner together on Saturday if there is enough interest (Friday is the 501st dinner - and I will be out of town :cry). Even if that does not happen we should figure out a way to get together for a group photo.

I may be able to help out with some other things too, but need to know how many people are coming.

TDH DINNER LIST FOR SATURDAY FEB 23 AT 6PM

1 - Bubba Fett (Guess I pretty much have to be there eh? :) )
2 - BountyOne
3 - Jango 5204
4 - ...and Mrs. Jango 5204
5 - Nerf-herder37
6 - Hand-Schaub - Beer, maybe dinner
7 - Pennywise
8 - Someday, maybe, Mrs. Pennywise
9 - Darth_Finger

I will be there for sure!!! got my room booked at the Marriot for 4 days. this is my first suited up event showing off my ESB Fett. also, if anyone can do a buddy system to help suit up, let me know. my wife is sitting this one out and my buddy (another Fett) has a wedding to go to on the 23rd and there is no way I can get my costume on by myself ( backplate, girth belt, jet pack) if anyone is in the same boat or can help a brother out please, please let me know.

thanks,

Ben.

bump bump bump. come on guys, show your support. Jon's going out of his way to organize a TDH dinner for us.

I'll be there Fri, Sat, and leaving Sunday. I'll be in Jango, my friend will be wearing my TK suit, if he goes. Staying at the Marriot.

Hmm, not sure the title of this thread is explanatory enough (plus you can't see the whole thing on the page). I am going to create a new thread and I will put your info there. See if we can get more people to sign up.

Moved all this from another thread because the title may not have been clear enough.

Hopefully it will get a little more attention with this title :o

I wanted to get a good list going of those TDH members who will be attending WonderCon in San Francisco next month - also where people are staying and when they are coming in. I may try to get a dinner together on Saturday night if there is enough interest (Friday is the 501st dinner - and I will be out of town :cry). Even if that does not happen we should figure out a way to get together for a group photo.

I may also be able to help out with some other things too, but need to know how many people are coming. Again, I will not be there Friday unfortunately, so anything I could schedule would have to be Saturday afternoon/evening or Sunday.

BountyOne and Jango 5204 already replied on the other thread. Since I cannot actually move the thread I just quoted them here.

I will be there for the whole weekend. Going either Saturday or Sunday.

I'll be there at least Saturday and Sunday!
Friday is still up in the air.

I am thinking of doing Fett on Saturday, and Sunday will be the debute of a new costume (actually, Saturday night at the Masquerade.) I'm doing a TimeCop/TEC Agent.

I'm gonna need a little help suiting up Fri-Sun, can anyone help who is staying at the Marriot??

Cheers,

Ben.

I'll be in the marriot. We'll exchange numbers as the time gets closer.

I'll be at the Con, but my Fett costume won't be done in time. But always interested to meet other TDH members and show my TDH support , whatever set up for meets will be workable for me.
I'll be either in my TK or Maul once that is approved into the 501st.
See you all there!

Were having a Fett photo shoot when we have the 501st picture Sat. at 2:00pm All 501st Fetts welcome!

It will be nice to finally meet you:D I believe it will be in front of the carousel.

Hopefully I can get back in time for the shoot. Maybe I will finally get to see your BF suit Pennywise!

I'll plan on wearing my Fett on Saturday. I'll actually have 2 costumes with me since I'll also be doing the masqurade later as the TEC Agent

I'll be there at least the 23-24. I am unsure right now about Friday, Feb. 22. (work)
I'll be staying at home and taking BART in to the city.

Sounds good guys.:)

I'll be up there for sure as well.

If you could, be sure to let us know the dates you'll be there and where you will be staying.
Thx,
jon

I'm so there. I can't wait!!!!!!

Welcome brother!!! Look forward to buying you a beer at WonderCon to celebrate. Since I only got accepted recently myself I looks forward to Pennywise buying me one :lol

So, I wanted to see about arranging a TDH dinner. Over the next couple of weeks I will need an accurate count. I will keep the count in this thread (at the top). I will arrange dinner somewhere around the con for Saturday night at about 7pm. Unfortunately I will be out of town and not available until that Saturday. (PW - may need a little help here if that's cool). I will try to do Mexican, Italian or something to keep it within everyone's budget.

Okay, one more thing...

No promises here, but I do some video production in the Bay Area and have a green screen set up at my office. I may be able to break this down and get it to Wondercon on Sunday if anyone is interested in being photographed in costume. I will have to try to get some help to get the lights there and need to find a place to do the shots. Wish that Brak's was going to be there to help (I am not the greatest photographer in the world), but he is tied up.

Anyway, if there is some interest I will do what I can to help out and get some shots of folks. Greenscreen is not big enough for a group shot, but I can get two or maybe three in at a time I think. We can drop in some backgrounds afterward for you. I have a friend who won some awards for his pics, so I may be able to get him to help.

You know I'll be at the dinner Jon for sure and I'll be buying the beers too :cheers only thing is, I got to be back for the Masquerade at 8pm. you can also count on me for help to set up with whatever you decide to bring. I think the green screen is an awesome idea. I'll PM you with my cell number when we get a little closer to the WonderCon weekend.

Ah yes, the Masquerade! Well, how about if we do dinner at 6pm? Will that work for everyone? I will put it down for now unless I hear from a lot of folks that it will not work for them.

List updated.

What's the Masquerade? I know what one is, but what is it at Wondercon?

this might shed some light. these are really cool to attend and enter if you want.

http://www.comic-con.org/wc/wc_masq.shtml

Costume event with prizes. Costume needs to be almost entirely scratch built though, very few purchased parts - they are pretty picky about this usually. A Boba Fett costume might make it in (my son's did) but a TK suit probably would not. They almost never accept Vader they told me - unless the helmet is fully a scratch build.

Anyway, they have a judged show on Saturday night. It's about 50% costume and about 50% performance (what you do while in the costume).

Usually it gets booked up early, at least at SDCC. Not so sure about WonderCon and the participation.

TDH will be sponsoring an award for this at SDCC.

Fett's easy, he just has to stand there and look cool!!!!!!! 8) contest over!

Lol - yeah, sort of.

Here is my 10 year old son at SDCC last summer:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=6I3VrNQj8S0

:lol

AHHHH man, that was awesome Jon. did he win anything?

Thx B1. Yeah, he won $200 supposedly. We'll see if the check ever shows up though :lol

he'll have to suit up again and hunt em down Bounty style :lol

I will be at wondercon Sat. during the day but I have a 501st event to do for the Cub Scouts Birthday at 6:00pm and the theme is "Star Wars" so I unfortunatly won't be there for dinner. However I'd love to buy you guys a beer during the day if you would like.:)

beers all around :cheers :cheering :cheers

That image of Boba Fett at the bottom of the page... THAT'S ME!!!! :)

LOL - Very cool!

It doesnt look like my friend is going to make it. I'll need Bounty ONe for a dress-buddy on JAngo. I'm also taking my TK since I got that Hyperfirm MG34, need to put it to good use. I should be good to go for dinner on Sat. Small group huh?

Yeah, looks like maybe I will be able to buy everyone a drink :lol

Hopefully we'll get more as the date gets closer.

Sorry to hear that your friend won't be making the Con Jango 5204, I'm pretty much in the same boat. not to worry though, we'll help each other out. I think the list is small because people are undecided as to go or not but I think their will be more people added to the list as we get closer to the date. looking forward to meeting everyone, this is going to be a blast none the less. a friend of mine went last year and he said it was a lot of fun.

Sadly I won't be able to make the dinner. :( I'll be suiting up and getting ready for the Masquerade. It'll be the official debute of my TEC/TimeCop agent costume.

I'll be there!

the Masquerade is at 8pm, Jon is planning dinner @ 6pm.

They need people there early to get things going. I'm sure if I really pushed, I could possibly make it... but I don't really want to cut it that close to the mark. :)

Yeah, having done one of these I will say they do like you there really early (I think we started at about 3pm). Tell you what, let me figure out someplace close to the Con this weekend. Once I know how far it is you can decide if you want to swing by for a beer with the group.

Thanks Jon!!! that sounds good.

I won't be going to Wondercon you guys, I'm REALLY sorry especially after all the fuss I made.:( I had last minute bomb dropped on me, >:(a family matter) that has taken priority. Again I'm very sorry and I hope to see some photo's (please):)

sorry to hear that PW, hope everythings okay bro. I guess me and Jon are gonna have drink your beers then :cheers

Bump'o'rama

Added Pizzaman24 to the dinner list.

K, how does Chevy's sound to everyone? Trying to find something inexpensive and close. There are definitely some hipper places in the area but they start costing, and I know some of us are on a budget. If that works then I will get us a table.

is that in walking distance from the convention center Jon? I will need to stay suited up for this ( a place with a bar with tall barstools, even better )

Chevy's is about a block or so away from the Con. And yes, if I remember they do offer bar stools and taller tables.

I recall that there is a bar, so I would think there will be barstools. There are so few of us that we might want to even eat at the bar. It is right around the corner from the convention.

There is also a diner right there. Can't remember if they have bar seating. The Sony Metreon has food court, but you'd probably be swamped and would not have time to eat.

Just so you know... if you are in the masquerade you are not supposed to wear your costume prior to the event - and they can be pretty strict about this one. It's a lame rule IMHO but just wanted to let you knowthat it is, indeed, a rule.

stupid double posts:lol

no I'm not "in" the Masquerade, just an escort.


what about this place Jon, Fourth St Bar & Deli

http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel...isco-marriott/

Hey guys - I'll be at Wondercon this year as usual. Not sure about times and such but I'll be in a Cobra trooper costume form GI Joe (not even a Joe fan) but if you see me be sure to come and say hey! I hope to stop in for dinner but I'll probably come in and have a beer with you guys!

HS - I would be honored if you would stop by. I have one of your blasters that I got from another member, and have admired your work for some time. Meeting you would rank up there with meeting David Prowse. Ok, he was not so nice - so maybe even higher...

Hey B1, I will look there, but the few times I have been around that place it has been really jammed, so might be tough to get in, especially with a costume on.

Bump - Any more TDH folks coming to this? Any more sign ups for dinner or beer? We need 8 people to get a reservation at Chevy's. 4th Street Deli does not take any reservations so we may be waiting a long time if we go there. I am trying to make this easy and fast for everyone as I know some are going to the masquerade.

I'm not sure yet but I may have a friend or two along with me who are members here but don't post much.

Goffcorp and Gaffer... or Ryan and Randy - possibly Mark and/or Drew. TDH is well respected and I would like to make this meeting a success. Honestly 501st is getting a bit over the top and the Fett community continues to be quality.

Hey HS, Should I put you on the list or are you still a tentative?

Well, it looks like Fett is out for me for the time being. I've had several issues with my ammo belt and this past weekend, it gave up the ghost and completely failed on my leaving me no other resort but to order a new (leather) belt.

I will still be at the Con, but sadly, Fett will not be there! Not until the ammo belt is fixed.

The belt keeps pulling away from the velcro. No matter what I do to try to reseolve it, it will not hold. At least I am getting a leather belt now, so the troubles will be over soon.

Thank you so much for the offer, PM'ed you back.

I am headed up friday night, and leaving sunday

There's a few more things that I wanted to point out to all planning on going to WC. As it stands now, the forcast is calling for Rain over the weekend. Top it off, Saturday night @ 6:00pm is the Chinese New Years Parade! So bring your patience! I'm sure SF will be JAMMED PACKED with people for the con as well as the parade!!!

Just wanted to give you all a bit of a heads up!

As luck would have it I may be joining you all for dinner after all:rolleyes, I've been in touch with Jon.

ALSO: Chris, is the adhesive lettting lose the velco from your body heat and "pulling pressure" on your belt? I have some polyurethane glue that will do the trick if that's the case. Let me know and I can drop it off at your house if you want.

hey, maybe we could join them and have a Star Wars parade as well :lol
glad your going to join us PW, the list was looking pretty grim :doh

I know the area and usually the parade is only a couple blocks away. According to "my" weather report it says the week-end is clear weatherwise:doh Anyway, we can throw a few beers back and prowl the streets if you fellas are up to it that evening:lol I know Jons good for a couple;)

sounds good to me :thumbsup

It appears that is the deal. I have no idea how much more that belt can take. As much as I'd love to have it there with me, it just needs to be replaced. I should have bought a leather belt to start with.

I also have a few other areas that I need to work on (knee darts), and adding another belt to the jet pack for the "dive belt section." :)

ok, added two (maybe) and lost one. If we do not have enough people to get a reservation we may need to look at some alternatives. Hopefully we'll get a couple more.

The one week left bump. Just need to get a couple more people to get a reservation at Chevy's (which is right next to Moscone) for dinner/beers. Just so we can confirm plans - We will all try to hook up at Chevy's on Saturday at 6PM. Here is the address:

Chevys
3rd & Howard
201 3rd Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
415-543-8060

MAP:

I will PM everyone who has signed up with my cell # in case you get hung up or something. :cheers

Anyone else going to the premiere of Justice League: New Frontier on sat?

I'll be there.:) And Chris was right it is supposed to be raining:b so bring a umbrella or Gortex jacket.

You can count my wife if you need more people, she should be there, unless she gets a better offer.

Shoot, I wanted to make this one but I have to show property on Saturday. Have fun gang, wish I could troop it. Dang.

Will you be there on other days?

Thanks Jango, I will put Mrs. Jango 5204 on the list.

Okay, I know some of you will be hitting the con tomorrow so this may be my last post that you'll see before Saturday.

We did not end up with enough folks to get a reservation, but they tell me at Chevy's that it probably will not be an issue. I was really hoping we could get one, that way those who were in a bit of a hurry would not have to worry about the wait. If anyone of you can drag a friend along let me know right away - I will be checking the board.

Anyway... I will be waiting inside the restaurant and will be wearing a black 501st sweatshirt. I have sent those of you who are on the list my cell number in case anything happens.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Glad you're able to make it PW - though I am sorry the Scout deal fell through.

See you all on Saturday :cheers

Jon
