I am meeting with a reporter for a feature article and photos about the Tidewater Alliance and our Galacticon. Special thanks to Gina (Yaddle) for submitting the advertisements. The article comes out on Thursday in the Beacon. This is awesome advertising for the Con!
The article will be out in the Beacon on Thursday. In other Galacticon news we have had another Vendor sign up. The Vendors are looking good. We have a dress reheasal for the Lighsaber demo and AV team on Wednesday. Only the fighters need attend but there will be a few Coordinators on hand as well. Two of the fighters are on board and I will contact the other two asap.
Good Luck with your con this weekend!! I hope all goes well!! I plan on stopping by to say hello! Patrick
Our dress rehearsal went well. Good job guys on the effort in practice. Media had a few glitches but were ironed out and will look great. Our Vendors are looking good and there will be some fine displays on hand. The article is out in todays Beacon. It prominently mentions both Galacticon and The Tidewater Alliance. We will have to begin a scrapbook on our press. Now the only thing left to do is have Galacticon. See everyone on Saturday bright and early.
I will see you there! This event is going to be awsome, and I am glad that everything came together well at the dress rehersal. Great job guys! I will have to gather up and find all my Tidewater Alliance press stuff to add the growing scrapbook! lol
Thanks to all that made galacticon a great success. Hope we are able to do it again sometime. And thanks to all that came out and showed their support.
Everything was very surprisingly smooth. Thanks to everyone jumping in and getting thier hands dirty. LOL Costumes looked awsome as always. Thank yous to the 501st and The RL for coming you guys rock! We look forward to seeing you all again and at many more events.
