For the past four years, Comic Con has been our largest recruitment event. Once again we have secured a FREE fan table up on the Mezzanine level (near the food court/pizza place). On our table we generally have flyers with info on the club, our club photo albums, and usually some cool goodies to hand out such as pens with our website on them. We also usually have a large basket filled with Star Wars goodies that we give away daily to a lucky fan who signs up for the club. We usually have some other Star Wars items on display as well as our banner. One of the main topics of conversation at our meeting tomorrow will be regarding Comic Con. Please bring all your cool ideas to the meeting. Perhaps this year we can build some Star Wars Facade around the table area which would double as a photo op for con goers.

Comic Con this year is July 19th - July 23rd. Prices if you pay before April 19th are $50 for adults for all 5 days (Wednesday preview night thru Sunday at closing) or $25 for Juniors and Seniors. At a mere $10 a day, this is a great deal considering all the convention has to offer. Traditionally we ask that each club member volunteer at least a 2 hour time slot at one time over the 5 days that con is open to work the table. People volunteering significantly more than that will be given the opportunity to trade up their General Admission convention badge to an Exhibitors badge which allows them entrance into the convention 1 hour before General admission, and allows them to stay in there 1 hour after closing.

For more information on the Convention, visit their website here:

It's only January.. But already I can't wait! This year will mark my 10th consecutive year going to Comic Con.. Started out in high school with my dad taking me only on Sundays after finding out about the con at the card & comic book store I played the old school Decipher Star Wars CCG game at.

I lost count at 10. But I know it's been less than 15 so somewhere between 10 and 15 for me.

"Revenge of the Sith" is, quite simply, ****ing awesome. This is the "Star Wars" prequel the haters have been bitching for since "Menace" came out, and if they don't cop to that when they finally see it, they're lying. - Kevin Smith

Most people on this board weren't even born when Comic Con started, and those that were, were probably too young to go. I think it is 35 years old... or something like that.

I didn't get the message but with two teen girls, that isn't surprising. I found your address and other needed info on a document I had at home, so you should be receiving all further communications about the table from Comic Con.

well, I know I have said I would be going over the past few years but my check is written and ready to be mailed out tomorrow for my pass and my phone shceduled to remind me on the 15th of Feb to book my hotel. And I can't wait! I have been wanting to go to the comicon for the past 3 years and haven't been able to.

Not part of any fan force anymore and I will be alone but i can't wait! And I will stopping by your table I know for sure...

Any tips on hotels? I need a resonable priced one? Where do you guys think you will be staying?

I can find out if there is any information I can give out as far as Hotels go (i.e. What time reservations will be accepted)
BTW...this will be my 21st Con. Or is it the 22nd?
