Glad you were able to use all those DVDs I sent. I sent ALL the Fan Force photos I have collected from all our members over the years. (see I'm not vain at all - I let you sort through it all and choose the best, haha!)

I think you're a close second to Matt as to how many pics you're in Kat. Dale too usually in conjunction with Matty... tongue Me also mainly cos it's my frame... and I am that vain. wink j/k! Grand total thus far is 213 pics... I found some from my comp that were really cool. I mixed costumes, with group shots, and funny pics (no worries, nothing too embarrasing...), and I put a couple of random surprises. raised_brow . Oh! Apparently I can add music to this thing... Gonna try out that function later. I'm thinking mainly the ESB soundtrack with a couple of other main themes.

Cool! I hope there are some pics with other members shown. I wouldn't want people to think it's just me, Dale, Kathy, and Ming. worried I'm sure you put in pics with Chanel in there too. I think the non-costume pics are good (picnic, Great America, movies, birthdays, holiday party, etc) because it shows we do other things together besides Star Wars. happy

Hard to believe it's 5 years of SFFF! dancing

Can't wait to see it, Ming. If you need music options, let me know. I have so many SW-related music, from disco versions, jazz, techno, lounge, and of course, all 6 of the soundtracks.

Re: Gaming schedules and RL table time slots

The list for the gaming event slots has not yet been posted. Does anyone know what the typical or expected time slots that have been usually held in the previous years (i.e., 1 to 4pm, 2 to 3pm, 1 to 5pm, etc.)? I was planning on doing some gaming and if I know the time-slots then I can organize my day to take an extra shift or two at the RL table.

Well, I do try to attend a lot of events! So don't make me feel guilty about that wink But don't forget a lot of photos were taken with my own camera too and I'm not usually in those unless I can beg a friend to take a photo for me when I'm at a convention or party.

Sorry, I have no clue about gaming sad

RE: MY OWN SFFF TABLE SHIFTS


OK, I'm just about having to cover the entire day on Friday on the Rebel Legion side of the booth. Saturday is still really up-in-the-air for the RL booth too. I wanted to take the afternoon off to possibly eat, change and do the 501st photo but may not even be able to do that seeing that there are gaping holes on the RL Saturday Schedule.

Right now about the only time slot I think I have free at the convention is 12:00-1:00 Sunday and that is because I'm counting on Matt to be able to handle the RL side of the table alone happy

I'm in the same boat as you, Kathy. Hopefully, we'll have more people tomorrow that weren't at last month's meeting to take the burden off us a little.

Can someone buy some a bag or two of CANDY for my gumball machine for the SFFF table and bring it to the meeting tomorrow? Either M & M's plain (they're smaller) or Skittles would be good. grin

Matt, I'm hoping you and I can look at the shift schedules and make sure that we are both doing an even share of shifts (like if I'm doing 15 hours of RL and Fan Force combined, I hope you are too). I'll be a tiny bit upset if I've agreed to help get this RL table up and running if I'm left to do like 80% of the shifts myself and everyone else is free to go see all the panels on their list and roam the convention. I hope you'll agree that's not fair sad

I just wanted to say that I will not be making it tomorrow for the meeting. I enjoyed everyone's company last time but it is a long drive from San Jose and back again. I will be at Wonder-Con all 3 days however and will see you all there.

I am still trying to find out the times for gaming so I can help out more at the booth. I may not get that information until last minute but I would certainly be willing to take/switch a shift last-minute if someone needs to change. As soon as I know, I'll post here as to what shifts I can take. Other than gaming, the photo shoot, and a couple of programs, I should have time available to take a couple of extra shifts (in addition to the one I have already signed up for).

Lastly, I still have that sealed Leia Hologram figure from Comic Con if it is still needed for the raffle. I'll bring it on Friday to the RL booth unless someone tells me otherwise.

Thomas

You mean it's not? shock tongue Don't worry about it, I got it covered, and of course Chanel is in there. I included picnic, parties, clubbing, etc... If any people have pics of themselves at a SFFF function that so freakin amazing, and they're not photo whores like some of us (j/k! laugh ) then they should send them to me so they can be in the digital frame. There are also a lot of good random individual shots of people usually doing something for a laugh, thus Matty is a lot of those... cool

Since I'm another person who makes the trek out from the San Jose area, I totally understand if you can't make every meeting Thomas. I'm really happy you could make it to the last one since that was really the biggest planning meeting from my point of view.

I think we have plenty of raffle prizes. I'd probably encourage you to hang onto your action figure. We have a lot of stuff to give away this year. I'm personally going to hang onto the couple of extra items I have. Maybe if we don't get so lucky with donations next year they will be more useful then (if I have not already given them as gifts to people!)

There are a lot of important things to wrap up at this meeting and this is one of those times I wish I had the 'Telepoto' Hero power sad

I'm pretty sure I'm spending my day tomorrow going to Alison's to pick up the stuff she got for our table, going to Tap or Staples for a few extra display items, going to the fabric store, making more signs... there's only one of me.

I'm trying to change my shift at work on Friday to a morning one. If that happens, I could help cover the table Friday afternoon if needed. I would probably get to the con around 1:30. I will let you know when I know for sure, probably not till Monday.

I just uploaded music into the frame and it's AWESOME! No volume control though so it's not that loud but still, it totally works.

Can the volume be turned off on the digital frame it is conflicts with the video on the TV? We don't want to have noise pollution wink

Here are the time slots still available for the table, and how many people are needed. For example, if it says "x1", that means there's already one person signed up, and a second one is needed; and "x2" means no one has signed up. Some people may get lucky, when either artists Tom Hodges and Katie Cook decide to stop by to sketch and say hello to fans. They'll need two seats, but that still means we need one SFFF member there with them. I'll give until noon on Tuesday until I post the final schedule. After that, NO CHANGES.


FRI:

1-2 (x1)
2-3 (x2)
3-4 (x2)
4-5 (x2)


SAT:

12-1 (x2) 11:30-12:30 = Rebel Legion Photo Shoot
1-2 (x1)
2-3 (x2) 2:00-2:30 = 501st Photo Shoot
4-5 (x1)
5-6 (x2)


SUN:

2-3 (x2)
3-4 (x2)



Kathy, Alison, Dale and myself are splitting up between working the SFFF and RL tables, so we need your help, and like Kathy said, it's only fair. sad Some people who weren't at either last month's or today's meeting still need to sign up too. You know who you are. shame_on_you

It was my understanding that since Tom and Katie were paying for a booth this year, they would be spending most of their time there. And at best one of them at a time may make a token visit to the RL/Fan Force booths. That's 4 chairs they have to choose from.

My biggest concern is that gap during the Rebel Legion photo shoot. I obviously can't miss that and for a half hour to 45 minutes we just need someone to keep an eye on the table and raffle items. I'm OK with removing some things from the RL side of the table temporarily if it's too much for someone to keep an eye on, but obviously we can't have the raffle prizes unattended, or Eva's TV, or Ming's digital frame.

So far between Fan Force and RL I'm signed up for 10 hours. That's not including empty holes I have not yet put my name into for the RL table shifts because I'm hoping to get a few more sign ups before people just look at it and say 'oh, it's covered, I don't need to volunteer'.
