Yeah, they like as much lead time as they can get for these things, I guess. I did see on JumpCon's future schedule that they plan a return to Boston for the 4th of July weekend next year, so I'll let Justin know about that, too.

In an attempt to clarify where the convention will be, the reply from JumpCon to my inquiry was that, unless stated otherwise, the convention will be held at the host hotel (the Backbay Sheraton on Dalton St.). I also checked the Convention Center Authority's events page, and the fact that the National Association of Letter Carriers is booked for the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center starting July 20th (JumpCon's last day) seems to confirm JumpCon's location being the Backbay Sheraton rather than the Convention Center.

K, you may want to ask Meriwyn if she can edit this thread's title to reflect the actual location of the convention. wink

I must have misread the website. I thought this was to be held at the convention center. O well it happens. But with that said how are they going to fit 50+ guests in hotel? Hopefully the hotel has a big enough convention area or we may not get as many guests as they are advertising. From what I saw of the other locations the guest list is the biggest for Boston and I do believe they are somewhat local.

I sent Meriwyn a PM for the title change...

I attended a mock United Nations Convention at the Sheraton when I was in college... it has a good sized ball room, etc.

I'm now not sure if I'm going...I looked at the schedule and some of the autograph and photo sessions w/ Garrick and Ian are kind of early for me. I'll give it another look to be sure, but with my summer league being what it is (about $20/night), I'd rather spend my money on bowling these days.

I will be camping with Jacob Friday - Sunday that weekend so, I won't be able to make it.

Well, I guess it wasn't too short of a notice after all. It looks like the 501st and the RL will be there after all.

Although looking at the guest list, as of now, there are no SW guests scheduled for the Boston leg of the show. confused

their website looks to be fairly new and they have information all over the place. if you go to another page for buying tickets you see who is going to be there and can purchase tickets for autos, breakfast, lunch, etc. I am not sure what to make of this con, but I will attend to see what it is all about.

Hey guys, Actually Jumpcon Boston is getting even better by adding lots more guests. Mainly because they cancelled 2 cons elsewhere and moved guests to the Boston one which is supposed to be the big one of the tour.

I'll be there mainly for the Doctor Who guests. --Billy

So are there any Star Wars guests at this event? Someone mentioned a few, but I didn't see them on their website, maybe I overlooked them.

There is at least one...can't think of his name offhand, but the guy who played a Mon Calamari officer and "Squid Head" in RotJ.
