New Hamp Upcoming shows and conventions

Hey Guys, what do you think of this upcoming Jumpcon in Boston on 7/17/08. It looks like this new con has a ton of guests. Some of us from Long Island are gonna come up for that. --Billy

 

Thanks for the heads up Sifo Dyas! I can't believe the lineup for the show! It's amazing!

Here's the link for everyone to check out!

 

The 6th and 7th Doctors are going to be there! GLEE! I think I can it on that Sunday if work doesn't take over. Hmmm methinks it could be real shiny! So when do we go?

 

We have SO got to go to this one!!

What a wicked sweet line up. I cant believe it. It's very cool. I don't even know if this is up on the 501st. yet? I'll have to check. What do you guy's think about doing up a Fan table? The price is right... only $25.

It would cost us a bit more to set up the table put we can pull that togather I'm sure. Like a banner flyer's ect. Just a thought. We'll see we can talk about it at the next meeting.

Very cool line up....I love it!!

SeeYa,
TK

 

Yeah guys this convention company is just starting up and not alot of people know about it, but they are getting some amazing guests. If anyone is a Babylon 5 fan, the one in Wash DC is having like 14 B5 guests just at that con. That's pretty amazing.
Im a big Doctor Who fan so me and a few friends from Long Island are definitly coming up to the Boston con for those 5 doctor guests. . . so we'll come say hello to you guys. --Billy

 

That sound cool. We'd love to have you. We are going to be workng on detail of the show at our up coming meeting next weekend.

We are in talks of having a table set up. If not I know we will be stay at the hotel so we will definately have to get together. Keep checkng in for up dates.

I myself am looking forward to all the Star Trek guy's. This does look like a great show. I up it all works out.

SeeYa,
TK

 

I spotted two Star Wars actors in the guest list: Ian Liston (Janson, Wedge's gunner in TESB) and Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter, Red 3 in ANH)...let's make plans for this one, everyone! (Been dying to meet some of the actors who played Rebel pilots )

 

I'm not going to miss it. I need both to sign my poster. It looks to be a great show. I'm pretty sure I'll be staying over for this one. lol

Later,
TK

 

theres been adds on the cartoon ch late nights. this oun should bee good

 

Cool, this is really sounding great. Yeah let me know as you hear stuff about the con.
I hear the guy running the series of Jumpcons across the country is based in New England so the Boston one is like his flagship con.
Us Long Islanders will definitly meet up with you guys.
And wow! your right - that's cheap for a fan table. Our Long Island club might look into having a table when and if Jumpcon gets around to Long Island.
--Billy

 

COunt me in. I'm a big Galactica fan, as are my friends next door. Might have to find something to get signed...

 

I'm probably going to go. Five Doctor Who guests! Three of them are Time Lords (Two Doctirs and Romana 1)! I am so in if I have the money!

Also, President Roslin from the new BSG (AKA Donnie Darko's mom) will also be there.

 

Yeah this should be a great con and very varied depending on the guests you particularly like. My fav thing is going to panels and hearing Q & A's but the really unique thing about this con company seems to be the personalized experience you can I have. I see on the Pittsburgh con page they have some of the schedule set up. You can buy a ticket to have breakfast, lunch and dinner (8 seats to a table) with your fav stars. For some people this is a dream come true, you can really get to know your fav stars in a comfortable setting.
I guess all you have to have is enough money.
Jumpcon seems to be starting a new golden age of cons. --Billy

 

I like it, it sound Awesome. I can't wait to see what the times and prices are going to be for the show here?

I can only imagine. lol

The rooms at the hotel are all like $200 + This will have to be a group thing I believe for me to be able to stay over. We'll see how it works out. But I know I'll be there one way or another.

SeeYa,
TK

 

It is in Boston, right? Couldn't we just find a place outside the city that woulud be more reasonable?

 

I'm sure we could. I had not really thought about. I could even see if a few of us could crash at Jess place. lol I knowBrandon would like that. Bawcha Bawwaw... lol

I'm sure we can talk about it at the meeting. I would like to set something up sooner than later. Just so I know we have a place to stay. I don't want to wait last min. and have NO room. I'm mean we could all way just stay home and drive in everyday. Wait .... what am I saying....lol I most be late.


Later,
TK

 

Hey guys,
I know rooms are expensive but the cool thing is to stay in the con hotel and be able to hang out in the evenings with friends and not have to get to another place to sleep. They have a bunch of evening events planned.

Sometimes my friends and I all pile into a room - like 4 of us - those cons are always a lot of fun.

But I know what you mean that cost is a big concern.

In fact looking at the Boston Jumpcon page - goto the bottom, click on tickets, then click the city (Boston), and check out what's available for tickets.
You can buy individual panels, photos with stars, autographs, and meals with them. It can get pretty expensive but some people are gonna go crazy for this. --BIlly

 

Hey Billy,

Thanks for the updates. I'll be sure to go check the ticket prices right now. I need to know how much to save up. When i went the other day I could not find any pricing? Maybe they updated it. lol

We usaully do just that... pile a whole bunch of people in a room .lol We did just that at Supermegafest and C4. It's all all a good time. If you make the Boston show you'll have to make sure to find us. I all ways like meeting New Star Wars fans. Thanks again!

SeeYa,
TK

 

I'll definitly look you guys up beforehand here on the boards. When that weekend approaches. I'll probably be doing Somerset NJ, Stamford CT, Wash DC, as well as Boston.

As for jumpcon ticketing, I just re-checked it to make sure Im not telling you the wrong thing.
So at jumpcon.com, go down to the link all the way on the bottom that says Ticketing by paypal, open that link, then click on Boston in the category section on the left. Then you will have 108 pages of varying ticket categories concerning all the events and all the individual media guests. It looks like it can be pretty hairy trying to decide what to pre-purchase. --Billy

 

We've been talking on the MIS board about doing a SMF-style charity raffle at JumpCon. New Hampshire is, of course, welcome to join in. We'll let you know if we snag a table at the con for this.

 

Please do. I know we are all ways glad to help out.

SeeYa,
TK

 

OK EVERYONE!!

Here are the upcoming Comic Show I talked about at today's meeting. I know I will be set up and working BOTH the Boston Show and the Portsmith show. You are all MORE than welcome to come and check them out.

If anyone has anything they like me to sell for them at the show please PM me. They will be a small commission fee. lol But I'd be more than glad to help you make a couple $$$. Just let me know. I do very well at these shows so it all most a given you'd make a couple dollars.

SeeYa,
TK

What else is happeni

 

Just to make you guys aware, we figured out that JumpCon will be held @ the Backbay Sheraton on Dalton St., not the convention center.

 

Found a con up in Ringe NH check it out.

http://www.uni-con.org/index.html

 

Concerning Jumpcon being at the Sheraton: Where was the misconception from on that it was going to be at the Convention Center? Because its my understanding that Jumpcon is linked to Sheratons all around the country.
Im totally there. I have my Sheraton reservation and I'll be checking in with youb guys just before the con.
Hey maybe we can have a specific time for a Fan Force meeet and greet where we all get together for a few drinks. --Billy
