I think we have the possibility of a lot of bored people standing in long lines for TCW and they'll be happy to have something to come look at and pass some time. It's better to have all these items there and not use some of them then wish we had brought more.
The framed pix sound good, as do the posterboards Kris has and I'd love to have Nicole's scrapbook there. It's so well done and fun!
I have a Halloween Vader bucket we can use for donations, too. It's not anywere as near as cool as Baylee's helmet, but this one can't get broken. The thought of that amazing clone helmet sitting upside down on our table scares me, but, if you're okay with that Minda, we can use it. As mentioned above, we can bring both and decide what we need when we get there.
Put me down for the IEFF and 'Force' buttons and the stickers Stuart made.
Beach balls - I'll be bringing about half a dozen Episode III balls!
I found all of the IEFF flags and fingers that Debbie made up for CHOC. Should I bring those, Mike?
I'm sorry to say that a lot of the IEFF fliers were left at the Comic-Con. I had them set out on the Fan Force table and forgot to pick them up when I left on Sunday. I'll bring what I have, but it's not much.

I did a double post as this has nothing to do with our event. The following is from somebody from the RL that works within the film industry. It gives a good perspective of the look of TCW and what to expect. (No spoilers) I thought it was interesting:
I'd like right now to try and quell any comparisons to Pixar or any other feature animation house. You have to remember that TCW isn't an actual feature. It's 3 television episodes cut together into a movie. This stuff was never meant to be on a big screen. For TV CG animation it's the best ever made. Blows everything away. Tak? Jimmy Neutron? Forget it. These shows are produced far faster and with less time for R&D. In the time it takes Pixar to do one hour and 20 minute feature, LFA has produced an entire season of high end TV animation.
It's never gonna be at the level of Pixar or Sony and it can't. TV budgets and time frame don't allow it. Especially when you are working with an overseas animation studio. Brad Bird can just walk over to the animator's office and direct. On the Clone Wars it required calling up a supervisor in Singapore and communicating the problem and then the information is relayed to the animator. It's what we deal with every day in TV animation. Things lost in translation, language barriers, miscommunications, etc, etc.
Basically, remember that this isn't The Incredibles or Toy Story. It's a premiere of a new TV show that's being put up on the big screen for us fans. Even though one review said that "Obi-Wan's beard looked like a snowplow had been glued on his face" (that totally cracks me up, as it's true), I still think the whole thing will be amazing and great fun! After all, that's what it's all about anyway!!!

I just posted this to RL and the 501st boards so forgive the repeat info. Kari, sorry I never got your message. The raffle money is going to Loma Linda Childrens Hospital. Mark, your just damn hard to get ahold of. I have talked to Steve and he's okay with the charity thing on my side, you may want to okay it with him for the IEFF though. Just in case. I'm bringing the TV and DVR again just like at FCBD for our booth.
If possible can everyone be there around 5 for set up and a run down of whats gonna happen. Theres gonna be a 501st and IEFF booth inside. Minda and Julie are my booth babes for the 501st and will be selling the raffle tickets. IEFF will be wrangling it sounds like. I'm shooting for tickets right after the event not the last showing like I previously stated. I still need more stuff for the raffle, I know, presumptuous. Tough, The money is going to the Loma Linda Childrens Hospital. I'm diggin into my collection and so is Mike. I also got SideShow Collectibles to donate a few things. Charity hurts people.
I may have one more update tomorrow, look for it.
Heres my contact info, please let me know if you are gonna be there or have to cancel. if your late call me, I worry about my troops when their a no show for an event.

Triple post!
I've now got a wrangler to add to our list. Lance is a 6th grader that goes to my school that I used to babysit when he was but a wee tot. Some of you met him at my carnival as he helped wrangle for a couple of the troopers. A terrific kid that's a huge SW fan. He's the type of kid that will help out where ever he's needed.

We're still coming and we should be there by 5.
~JO & DM (Nikol & Ronnie)
I'll be Jedi-ing it up.
Oh yeah, I'll bring the scrapbook. Sadly, I haven't done too much to it.
I'll try to work on it tonight. If anyone wants to give me pictures to add to it, that
would be great.
And we'll bring the 'sabers.

I upload most of my pictures to the IEFF photo album. They're full size so you should be able to print any of those you like.

Hey, whatever you want is fine. I was thinking, like Glen said, our tables are in the lobby after the people have waited in line so there will not be bored people mulling around our table. They will be there after they are let in the theater. And yes, if we don't use it, no loss, if we need it, it will be there!
Cool.

Well, I was hoping everyone had some actual photos. Cuz it can be expensive to print pictures from my printer and the ones I had done by Target I paid for. And that was about 200 pictures. I'll work with what I have though. 
Sadly, I don't have a money tree.

Hey there happy people...two more days...wahooooo! 
As far as the donation thing for CHOC is concerned in regards to the theater allowing it, I asked Steve and he said it would be fine (501st is doing it too).
Now that being said (we can take a vote here), I say, since we don't actually have anything to "raffle" (we'll have to work on that one), I say we skip the bucket idea for now even though it's a good idea...but i'd feel a little better offering something to our lucky winner. You all can decide.
As far as the booth is concerned, I say we bring what we've got and put up whatever we can without looking cluttered (as I agree with you Minda). Maybe one day we can have a TV with all of our group pics showing like as in a slideshow for peeps to see, that would be cool. Oh great...now i've got ideas brewing...between this and the movie, i'll never get to sleep tonight! 
Lets do a final quick read through of the thread / head count by tomorrow to make sure we're all good to go.
