Syracuse Heroes Expo - October 21st

Just found out the date for the next Syracuse Heroes Expo.
It will be Sunday October 21st at the same location as last year.

There are supposed to be Star Wars guests again this year!

Stawbary is working on getting a table for Salt City Jedi and has asked if we'd like to support them. If any one is interested in volunteering for table duty - post here or PM Strawbary.

They have listed Mini Fett AKA DANIEL LOGAN as a guest.

Yay!!
He'll be a great guest.

count me in on this just will need ride

the promotor never responded to my several emails, apprently we will not be having a table there. I just dont understand why he wouldnt respond. *shakes head*
anyways.....
Take lots of pics for us!

It's still a month away, maybe try emailing him again? Or maybe post on the event's forums, I know he's on there semi-regularly. They're at www.syracuseheroesexpo.com

From an 501st perspective, I haven't gotten any emails from him either (since the very first one), but I did get a chance to talk to him briefly at Fan Expo. Maybe he's just really, really slow with emailing?

~Doc_Bev

Either way at this rate Im pretty much nagging now if I send repeated emails asking the same question.

I'm not sure... I guess it would depend on how you've asked and what you've offered in exchange for the table space.

I didnt ask for a free table I asked how we could get one and that you guys were going to be there and we were the local fan group for the area for fanforce.
again. no response. Its not the first time I have contacted a promotor for a con..... I know how to ask

I didn't mean to imply you didn't know how to ask for a table.
I was trying to ask questions to understand a situation that I'm not privy to so that I could offer help and advise.

~Doc_Bev

I asked for a table or if their were any space available and we were the SW group for the area and you guys were going and we worked together in the past yadda yadda. That we shared a table last year etc. So its not like he shuold not have responded.
So I feel like we're just getting the big snub on this one. to be honest

I just checked the heroes expo website and there was a big section about Garrison Excelsior being there. My offer to donate one of my Official Pix Autographs for a charity raffle still stands if you guys have a table. Let me know, i'll see you there! Hopefully I can piece my Jedi Robe together next week so i'll be ready for the expo If not i'll just go without.

BTW I have the entire full set of C4 pics, I got them for working the convention, I could frame and put some of those up for raffle as well.

That would be great! I'm sure they will fetch a nice sum of money for charity.
Don't spend more than $1 on the frames though.

It'll be good to see you again!

~Doc_Bev

Cool, i'll plan on bringing one of the autographed photos and i'll pick one or two other nonautographed photos. See you guys next weekend!

Our car will be full. I'm not sure who will have room for you.

For those heading out to this from the Rochester area. Many of us are meeting at the BK in Victor near the Thruway at 7:30am tomorrow.

Hi All.

Great event and as usual you were all fantastic.

I know there is something going on next weekend in Syracuse. Can someone send me details. I might be able to make one of the days.

pm sent

Hi people.
I had a blast in Liverpool with the mouse droid.

Here's a link to pix I took. SHE '07

Christine's daughter, Princess "Ju-Leia" is quite a fan of the mouse droid.
I owe her big time for helping to get Daniel Logan's autograph on my MSE-6's shell.

My camera was set on low resolution for the group shot.
Could someone send me a better pic?

I can't wait to do it again A.S.A.P.
Sadly, as I suspected I'm not available next weekend.
Pity. I'd love to have gotten Peter Mayhew's autograph as well.

Wow, the first event I have ever been to. Lots of fun. It was great to meet some of you, at the same time, I missed out on introducing myself to some- the Stormies, Sandtrooper, Dengar, black suit officer, and a few more. Sorry guys, being a first timer I got caught up in the event and lost my manners a little so my introductions didn't make it to everyone. Next time hopefully. It was cool to meet the mandos- Karate Jedi, TreborGahKor, and not sure who the third was- JagVader? Anyways, it was a blast. I had to jet abrupty at the end, my daugher was cutting teeth real bad this weekend and was running a fever, plus the fact she got way over tired, and wouldn't go to sleep with all the activity. She was starting to become a handful, so I wanted to get on the road, and she passed out before I got out of the parking lot. Definantly looking forward to seeing everyone again at future events, I am going to try and get more active again and complete my costume.

I'm glad we finally got to meet you mrgr8ness!
Sorry we didn't have more time to chat. Yes, hopefully next time.
Maybe in a slightly less hectic area we can all socialize a bit more.

Here are the pics from my two cameras...

Great pictures! We took some pictures, but unfortuneately, my wife did most of the shooting and the camera was in portrait mode, so almost all the pictures were blurry. Yes, it was a bit hectic, plus being my first event, I was kinda caught in a whirlwind a bit. We will def meet up again for more socialable event, and talk more in depth. I will try to bring the fam. My daughter is only a few months younger than yours, they would have a ball.
