    If there is a contact e-mail for the organizers I would be happy to contact them and ask what is happening with the con.

    The "Contact Us" page on the site actually has the phone number for John's Toys and Collectibles, but I got the answering machine when I tried it. There's also a NJ number (I believe) listed.

    Korey should have all of the necessary contact info. Since she has already dealt with them in securing a table for the event, I say we leave any future correspondence with the SMF people up to her.

    I have to agree with DW if anyone is to deal with them it should be Korey since she has/had a table already more than one person calling representing the group wouldn't be the best thing to do.

    Agreed.

    Hopefully all is well and SMF will have another great show.

    I may have donated the three sided display of the Clone Wars donated for our charity.

    I still have to wait and see.

    And hopefully some Clone Wars movie posters too.Stayed turned for this one.

    In the process of cleaning through my basement I am finding some more items for the basket.

    Mostly finding figures right now.

    I did have an idea on something and I could use some help on making it work...

    I have at least 25 and I believe I have a little more of the Darth Vader heads that have candy inside them.
    We gave these out last year but I don't think we should give these out with year old candy inside.

    What if we were to use these heads as part of a special feature to a raffle(s) somehow.

    We could have maybe for every 10 dollars spent on tickets
    How about putting either a extra ticket(s) inside or have a few instant win bonus prize ticket inside. Just an idea.

    Whoever has a contact person with SMF can you please call and find out what is going on with the future of the con here.

    That would be me!

    I am just back from a much needed vacation and am following up with the news here at the boards. I will get in touch with the SMF contact and update you shortly.

    As far as MDA - I haven't contacted them yet. At this point, I am not going to do so until I've confirmed the show.

    I have spoken with John and Ken who are the events organizers. SMF is still going on, they had an "issue" with the website and it should be up and running soon. No official word on any Star Wars guest, they have two guest in mind, but no confirmations yet.

    Confirmation:

    "The megafest is going on they are currently working on revamping the site and it will be up in a day or so. They already have a lineup of guests..."

    That's all I know ATM.

    I will try to dig up a contact at the MDA tomorrow... they will be busy with the telethon right now though so, I may not make contact until after Labor Day.

    I wonder if Mayor Adam West will be there again this year. His popularity has grown very much because of Family Guy........

    Exactly, K...my best friend's wife is actually still a huge Monkees fan, so you may see a whole group of us go to this. :D

    EDIT: Afterthought...I wonder if they're still working on Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith.

    I was considering trying to sell the Captain Picard Plaque, but I dont think I could ever get rid of the Captain Kirk one. Yes, I may be a Trekkie...... but not a very big one..... :)
