If anyone had questions regarding the 501st dinner, here's an e-mail I sent, along with the response:


Hi, Cris.

Matt Tolosa here from the Golden Gate Garrison and
San Francisco Fan Force. Some SFFF members
(including myself) had some questions about the
dinner at ComicCon. First of all, there are members
in the SFFF who are also 501st. How many non-501st
members can we bring with us? They're Fan Force as
well as Rebel Legion members who have helped/attended
with 501st events in the past. Does that count?

Also, how does the sponsorship work. If we find
out a celebrity will be there, do we contact them or
their agent and ask them if they'd like to attend?
I know the deadline to receive payment is July 14,
but if all spaces (100?) fill up before then, I'd
assume that would be it(?) So, if whoever wants to
go wants to give me the money, I could give one lump
sum to you, along with a list of names from our
group(s). Would we be sitting together, or would
you prefer everyone sit with different people?

That's all for now, but if anyone else has
questions, I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Hi Matt,

I don't think bringing FF friends is a problem at all.
In fact I asked Linda and Donna to invite our FF and
RL friends down here as well. Right now, we have
plenty of spots left- it is jsut supposed to be a fun
night for all of us SW costumers to get together for a
nice dinner. I may also have an opportunity to get a
bigger room if we go over 100 ppl, so if we have
enought notice, that might also be a possibility.

I don't mind everyone sitting together. Everyone
wants to sit with thier friends! happy

Yes you are correct about the sponsorships. Did you
already check out the list on our board of who has
been "pledged" ? Isay pledged because only Sansweet
has actually been paid for, but Mary from LFL, Ray
Park, The Rubios and Karen Traviss have also been
"sponsored" by people who just haven't given me the
money yet. I am assuming they are confirming
availability.

I think a nicely worded e-mail to the celeb or thier
agent would be the best way, but we can also hold a
spot and invite at comic-con in person if need be. If
it didn't work out, I could just refund the $40 to
you.

We also have a plan to just donate a little extra on
top of the meal price and I will do the inviting. I
am hoping to get enough $$ this way to invite Peter
and Angie or Jan Duuresma and Joe Corroney if nobody
else sponsors them.

Hope to see you guys there and I have no problem with
you inviting as many of your friends and family as you
can afford happy

Talk to you later,

-Cris

I finally bought my LotR concert ticket this morning. Are there actually assigned seats for the Lawn seating? They gave me a seat number. confused Seems somewhat impractical for a lawn area. Or maybe it's more to track the number of people?

I think that's it. I'm surprised there are still seats avialbale. The performances in SF for the cheap seats are already sold out.

Oh my gosh, thanks for reminding me! I'm ordering right now.

Lawn is general admission - which means plop yourself where you want. No seat assignments.

I can try and bring blankets and chairs in the car down with us so we will all have something to sit on. Depending of course on much space we have. lol

That's strange. First on the Comic-Con web-site it states:
"FORMS POSTMARKED OR FAXED AFTER
JUNE 21, 2006
WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

NO E-MAIL REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED."


And yet, check out these forms now on-line:

http://www.comic-con.org/cci/

and then

here
Now I wonder if we all have to re-register... thinking doh!

For those of you interested in volunteer work for Master Replicas, please contact me or post here. I'm trying to get an actual number of SFFF and 501st members. Costumes are not mandatory. As of yet, I don't have details on badges and compensation wbut hope to have that by Friday.
