WonderCon in San Francisco - February

You will not have any problems at the Airport bro, I flew with all my Fett gear last year. I boxed up all of my armor and blasters (in a storage container w/ wheels) and they didn't even go through it there and back.

Most of us are staying at the Marriot next to the Convention center. they have plenty of room at WonderCon rates.

That's good to know, I was concerned about the idea of taking a life-like blaster anywhere near an airport. I wouldn't want to get whooped by security. But I'm wondering about the convention. I see that it's going to have lots of stuff for sale. The masquerade competition looks like fun. But can I expect to see a bunch of star wars stuff? I'd hate to get there and not find anything that interests me.

Dude, this is WonderCon. Just Google the name and browse the site, it will tell you everything that's going on. although it's not as big as San Diego Comic Con (it's about a 1/3 of the size) it's still alot of fun and there will be plenty of people in costume. If your looking to buy SW stuff there, don't worry they have plenty.
 
for any members who are thinking about going but are on a budget, PM me and you guys can crash at my place that weekend if you like. I have a large house/living room.
 
FYI Jon, the 501st Legion Dinner is on Friday Feb the 27th 6:30pm @ Jillian's

What do you think about Saturday for a TDH roundup??? :cheers
 
I'll be there at WonderCon, Jon, but I wouldn't know my schedule until the time gets closer. I'll be interested, should have my Fett close to be done by then if I push it out. Still looking for my boots and wookie braids.


Anthony,
I got your wookie braids if you are still interested. JLMK
We can hook up this weekend if not busy. :)
Of course I'll be there at W.C. :D
 
Cool, Dean! I'll be there at Rancho Obi-Wan and the workshop this weekend. I want to work on my jumppack but more likely have to repair my clone and calf set. Don't think I'll have my Fett done until I find the boots though.

Creon,

The WonderCon is a convention for guys like us that love comics & artists, Sci-Fi/TV/movie memorbilia, horror, toys, Hollywood actors- autographs and discussion panels, gaming, and costuming...in a nut shell

i must seem like a moron for asking this... but what exactly is Wondercon?

It a convention that hat has been going on in the SF Bay area for years.
It is run by the same people that run Comic Con. It's just a much smaller scale. Here is a photo from 2006. I am the Clone on the far left...

Sorry, had to have a root canal, and then my email got screwed up when they moved our server and I am not getting notifications anymore. Not the best weekend. Except of course for Steve Sansweet's place eh guys? :D

So, Saturday sounds fine at Chevy's. Do we want to get reservations if possible? If so I will need a count.

Yeah, he said he'll be up for some beers.

I'll set up some reservations. Can't seem to find a schedule for the show... What about 6:30pm?

Oh yeah, and PM coming Ben.
