    London Film & Comic Con is still pressing ahead with their event at the end of July. Almost everyone expects the relaxation of social distancing measures to be delayed due to the spread of the Delta variant so I really don't see it going ahead but it's still on for now.

    Katee Sackhoff was announced for one of my local cons. I met her in Chicago, but it would be cool to see a panel with her.

    Steel City Con in Pittsburgh is this weekend. I've been keeping an eye on friends timelines who I know are going.

    Government expected to announce UK "reopening" delayed a month to July 19 either today or on Monday, going to be very tight for LFCC. Very curious to see what they say next week.

    Yeah - seen that in the papers today. I believe Boris is to speak on Monday afternoon/evening.

    It looks like the Swedish cons are planning to have events in October/November. Unfortunately that means that my small local con that usually takes place there has cancelled this year, there is no use trying to do a small thing when the three giants are hogging three weekends in a row.

    Yes, sadly I can see a lot of the smaller local events being squeezed as the big events all try to cram an event in before the end of the year. I imagine that's part of the reason why LFCC risked going for July - the splash of being the first big event back and also a few months space from the other big events that all picked safer Oct/Nov dates.

    Unless you have lots of time and money, I guess you gotta pick and choose which event to go to. you want to have enough time(from work or school) and money for Cele. I would love to go to Emerald City Comicon, I think, may be happening in the fall? but have to finish plans for Cele. Who ever is able to attend the cons. (before the end of the year) I hope you have the best of fun!

    *appears in the thread at any opportunity to manifest Hayden-Natalie-Ewan panel for 20th AOTC anniversary at Celebration*

    A few mates of mine have tickets, but yeah, it sounds like too big of an event for the time being. Like with the Olympics, might not know until the last minute.

    Matt Lanter was just announced for one of my cons. This fall will be a nice tune up for Celebration for me.

    Giancarlo Esposito booked for LA comic con in Dec. Might try and get him to sign the poster we got at the SWCC Mando panel.

    Seems they're having trouble booking more names atm cause a lot of folks got swept by the big conventions returning. Too bad for these smaller cons, but overall positive cause it's all coming back.

    There's also restrictions on international travel from the UK to the US at this point. That's probably putting off guests from the UK committing at this point.

    Honestly after Disney I'll be broke and saving for Celebration so probably wouldn't go anyway, but yeah the timing is better if we wanted to go. Might look at volunteering at one of the big events later this year to see what it's like from that side of things.

    You could sell Jane's badge to @Padme501st for some cash.
