Sth Bend, IN AlphaCon is Coming...Omaha, NE...May 4th-6th, 2001!!

For those of you interested in Conventions, there is a huge Sci-Fi convention coming to Omaha, Nebraska at the Civic Auditorium, May 4th-6th, 2001. They are gonna have tons of stars from Star Wars signing autographs, talking to the fans, and sharing their experiences from the films. There will be something for everyone, as they are gonna try to touch upon different areas of sci-fi/horror, making a very unique experience for all of us. I heard about this last month, and the news is beginning to spread like MAD! I just want it to be BIG!

If you have ever been to a Sci-Fi Convention, you know that they are usually small events, gathering a few stars and a bunch of dealers.

This one is gonna be different in that major studios are gonna be involved, hyping the big summer releases. VIP ticket buyers are even gonna have the opportunity to see pre-screenings of up to 3 major summer releases. I have never heard of this kind of thing happening for a sci-fi convention. But it IS happenging. They are working in conjunction with AMC Theaters and the studios to have a big event.

If you are a Star Wars fan, you owe it to yourself to CHECK THIS OUT! I have heard names like Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davis, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Dave Prowse. I gaurentee that you will not be disappointed. I want this to get enough attention so that they can do it every year. I'm tired of all of the big Cons only being in California and places like that. This is our chance to show that the best sci-fi fans live in the Midwest!

AlphaCon 2001, May 4th-6th...be there!!!!!

http://www.alphaconcentral.com is the website...GO NOW!

 

I'm there. Anyone else?

Josh

 

Nope I have finals and then am going to Disneyworld for the Star Wars Weekends.

 

I won't be able to go either, already have plans to go to Las Vegas. Well, unless someone wants to sponsor me.

 

I won't be able to attend this simply due to the location and the price. I can barely afford to go to Chicago for a Con, let alone Omaha

Trust that my heart goes with you. Especially if you bring us back lots of goodies

 

Well X, if the Griffster is taking us all to Indy, maybe he will do the same for Omaha.

 

Most definitely for Indy, but you'll have to get to Omaha on your own.

Josh

 

I won't be able to make this adventure due to lack of credits and time.

Oh no, I'm "talking" in Star Wars somebody help me....

 

Have fun at this event Josh. May the Force be with you.

And remember to direct some of your fans towards the actors. We don't want them getting bored, now do we.

 

Ooooooohhh... Score one up for Empyre

 

Leaving in the morning... will be a great time I am sure.

Josh

 

Good luck!

 

Boy, it's not bad enough that they went, but now they're posing all over TFN how much fun it is. Jealous? Nah! We get INDY!

 

Hey, we have 50 seconds to rob a bank, then rent a van for the weekend. We could make it.

 

Dohhh..to late.

 

Well...there's always that trust fund your grandma left you.

 

I already spent that on beanie babies.

 

Maybe Griffin will stop in and say hi while he's at the Con. Nah, he's having too much fun hob-nobbing with Warwick Davis and Anthony Daniels

 

If I was in the company of those two, I wouldn't go, "Excuse me, I have to post to the forums." either.

 

Well! I certainly would! And my post would read something like this:

Dear South Benders,

I have decided to leave South Bend and tour the country with my new Star Wars friends. I'm sure you'll see me around at Cons. Caio!

Josh

 

Sweet, have fun and don't forget to send us autographed pictures and such.

South Benders.

 

"I'm sorry but from now on I'm not associating with lesser life-forms. This will be my last most to you creatures. Goodbye."

 

****ING FINALLY!!!!

Now time for some real fun here!

 

Hey Griffin, we'd love to hear you rant and rave about how fun this event was. We won't be jealous, honest

 

Yes do go on...
