	Is this something we could do? I would be willing to wear my TK suit, maybe Danny could dress as an Imperial or a Jedi. Our fanforce could benefit from this. Post what you think guys/gals. -----signature----- TK8171 501st Legion - Star Garrison / South Texas Squad "Move along, move along..."

	After Allcon, this should become a goal for us. This might also be away for us to promote the fanforce. Everybody chime in. -----signature----- TK8171 501st Legion - Star Garrison / South Texas Squad "Move along, move along..."

	It looks like we can register a table. And there is a costume contest too. I know it is not AllCon, but it might be a fun way to promote the Houston Fanforce. -----signature----- TK8171 501st Legion - Star Garrison / South Texas Squad "Move along, move along..."

	Hello. It's been a while since I visited here and glad to see that things picked up again. It would be great to see the 501st part of Apollocon again. It's been way too long since you all caused a commotion at the con I may or may not be there. I am the volunteer coordinator (once again), but I am also going to give birth a month after Apollocon. It all depends on how I am doing, but I will at least try to make an appearance on the Saturday of the con if nothing else. I kept the yahoo group up, just in case anyone was interested, so people might want to pop in there from time to time. I'll let them know the HFF is alive again and redirect them back to the board here. Renee

	Sounds great, and welcome back!! I am a 501st member and hopefully we can get a few of us and our Houston fanforce team to be at the Apollocon. If anything, we could do atleast one day. I think any time we put in will be time well spent. -----signature----- TK8171 501st Legion - Star Garrison / South Texas Squad "Move along, move along..."

	I beleave last year the 501st wanted to do something at Aollocon and it just did not work out. New daddy Ian tried to work with them and had a hard time of it. I could make a late troop of it if there is enough intrest. David TD6867 501ST Clone ready to rock -----signature----- TD6867 Dirt never looked so good.

	If you have something in mind that you would like to do at Apollocon, let me know. I will see what can be done. The con committee may change hands, but I was the liason for the 501st in the past, and have no problems doing it again. Renee

	It's tough getting folks to come to Houston in June, and a lot of Houston-based people are out on vacation. That's how it turned out last year. Hopefully we can get the troops mustered together for an ApolloCon troop this year. Crystala, shoot me an email or PM and let's see what we can organize. -----signature----- TK-1420 "Bulls Eye" www.stargarrison.com www.501st.com

	Maybe if we get a few of us involved this year and establish ourselves, maybe each year we will grow in attendance. I was thinking if anything we might could work a table promoting the 501st and the Fanforce. And if nothing else, troop it and give others some great photo ops. -----signature----- TK8171 501st Legion - Star Garrison / South Texas Squad "Move along, move along..."

	We are working on ideas right now and I have one to throw out. Con parties are one of the best ways to get people interested and on Saturdays we usually have a list of the various hotel rooms doing con parties. You don't need to get one of the big rooms, it could be just a regular hotel room.

	I am game for anytime Saturday. I am going to have fun in costume not do volunteer work for Apollo Con. Well unless they want to pick up our entry fees then I might be able to consider helping out a little. John -----signature----- . . . - - - . . .

	Hopefully we can get some Star Wars fans represented at ApolloCon this year. Although I do agree that the ticket price is rather steep, it is a lot cheaper than a drive to a sci-fi con in some other city. Maybe if we can promise several attendees, we'll get a group discount (Renee? any help here would be hot ) Greater attendance at ApolloCon 2009 should help lower the price and get better attractions in years to come. At the very least, this is a great opportunity to meet new potential members and expand the Houston FanForce beyond our usual handful of active members. Would anyone be interested in helping to set up a FanForce club table? We could all chip in for the table and some promo materials to place upon it (such as some flyers, a static display, etc) Although they prefer that we keep such a table 'manned' at all times, even a static display is OK. I feel that something as simple as a tri-fold standup would do wonders, and those of us who go would have a place to meet and greet each other and potential members. Also: how about we have the June FF meeting at ApolloCon? Could be good times... I'll try to remember to bring this up at the May meeting this Saturday. -----signature----- TK-1420 "Bulls Eye" www.stargarrison.com www.501st.com
