Hey guys,
I got a call tonight regarding Peter Mayhew coming to midsouthcon this year.He would make a great addition to the event,especially since him and Michael sheard were so close.
He is available but I need to get his information to Dana and M.Kinglsey soon so Peter can arrange to be at the con.
Can anybody help get this message to them?
Does mike kingsley still frequent this board?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Hey, Skip! It's been a long time. You going to be at MSC this year?
You can get contact info for MidSouth Con here. (Phone numbers are included as well.)
Good luck on trying to get them to bring in anyone that isn't a fantasy writer, a furry, or is at least recognizable to the general public. Lin gave the MSC Admin people contact info on Peter Mayhew, David Prowse, Anthony Daniels, John Schneider, Robert Englund, Kenny Baker, and several others who he's met on the convention circuit while promoting Bushi Tales.
They've had this info for at least two years now, and haven't done crap with it. I'll probably get an earfull for saying this, but these folks have about as much business sense as a can of peaches in heavy syrup. We've been trying to tell them that if they want to bring in more fans, they need to get someone the general public can recognize either by name or character. We've also told them that they'll have to shell out the dough to get the guest, but the name recognition will increase the gate to make it worth it. Do they listen? Nope. They're satisfied with guests no one has ever heard of, and they're happy with spending their dough to bring in the same lame Master of Ceremonies/Mascot whom no one has neither heard of nor cares about outside their little committee circle. (No offense to Cullen Johnson, but they could be putting their efforts towards a real guest instead of someone who most of us just ignore.)

 Well CHATTACON is over and the 501st Southern Legion has convinced several of the Chattooine (Chattanooga Fan Force) to make the road trip to MidSouthCon 
I'm checking to see if I can make it - for sure but it looks as if East Tennessee Fan Force will be invading you guys! Hope you don't mind?!

As far as i know we will be there but look for about half the attendance as normal.we'll still come but may not try to do the panel thing,just our own thing.but time will tell so who knows.
as for Peter, he wants to come as a guest.some of our members are with constant communication with him and his wife.however they wont come without being part of the con cause he has other opportunities as well.
and as for contacting them,many emails have been sent without reply so i dont know what else to do.it would be a shame to not have a decent SW actor come but the way things are looking that might be the case.
and "HEY EVERYBODY" ,long time no see,actually i was in your side of the state last week visiting family in collierville.never really left that area either.i dont recall the last time i was even close to downtown memphis???

Well you know I'll be there! Wouldn't miss it for anything. Skip, I just moved to Collierville from Cordova a couple years ago and I love it. It is nice to get away from all the traffic  Can't wait to see everyone at MSC!
