Heya girl, am I finally going to be able to meet you???
So I was inquiring about this over at the Rebel Legion, will any of the local Fan Force's going to have something like a table at SWFD in Plano? Has anyone approached Ben about doing this??? Just a thought. Just wondering if there will be this opportunity to promote our groups....
Besides, the Austin Fan Force does not want to be the only one that is not represented (if this is being done)and we've got a nice banner to put to use!  
Would any other groups be interested?

Since we've got a group from Arkansas coming to this one... We could contribute to a Fan table?
Maybe not a whole table ourselves but, we could sort of combine with other Fan Force's?
Anyone interested in something like that?

Sounds good to me. If we could get our own tables that would be cool too. But a General FanForce table would be fine by me. I would volunteer some time and cuold probably get some volunteers from Austin.

I think we should have a Mid South table. So who wants to be the contact person? I will if no one else wants to.

I can help you with anything that you need for that.
Just let me know what you need me to do.
(You're always there when we need you) so it's the least we can do...

If other groups are joining in, I'll see about helping out with y'all to represent the DFWFF.
I also train in karate, and have important out-of-town seminars that have been happening on the same weekends, so have missed the last several cons. Well, that and being a school teacher who is behind in grading papers 
Think it was the last Plano show I was able to attend, purchased a book written by the mother of one of the Sci-Fi Expo organizers that has been helpful in surviving the teaching profession, lol!
At the very least, would like to do dinner or go out later that night with any in-town FF'ers if my schedule is clear that weekend.
Will mention it to the rest of the group, but DFW had a falling out with Sci-Fi Expo staff after working to put on costume contests and other events to liven up the Expo and receiving "red-headed stepchild" kind of treatment in return. Even though that was a few years ago, there is still a general dislike voiced by several members when I mention attending the shows.
That being said, in the interest of getting together with fellow fans, I'd love to make it out, even as the sole local representative, if someone is planning to organize getting a table.

We'd love to have you Brian.
So thats Arkansas contingent, Dallas, Waco and Austin... Not bad. Just want to at least have something to promote our groups for attendees who for some reason don't know about the Fan Force.
Anyone have any ideas about some more low-key activities we could do that might make it a little more interesting for the fans???

Trivia? Scavenger hunt (like with permission place a star wars sticker somewhere and if they find it or see it come to table and give location and get a sucker or something like that???)
Just some ideas I thought I'd throw out there?

No big if they don't. I mentioned to Ben some of the ideas hyperspace_police had but I'm not sure how receptive Ben will be.
I requested the FanForce banner and I am going to ask all the other MidSouth chapters for flyers.
Any ideas for the table itself?
My husband and I were thinking about looping all the Star Wars movie trailers together 1977-2005 and playing them on a laptop.
