The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: DCon7 The Planning Begins...
PostPosted: Thu Jan 04, 2007 6:52 pm 
Alright Marines! I know DCon7 is still a ways off, but I think it's important that we get one day planned in advance.

I know that we all have other costumes that we've worked on or are working on or will be working on. We've spent $$ and want to show 'em off. We've got other buddies in Sci-Fi, SW, Superheros, etc. to gear up with.

Remember when planning your costume sessions these important Colonial Marine Events-

Saturday of the Con- Parade! We need to break the record for Marines for the parade. I can't remember for sure, but I think it's 21, 23?

Colony Sweep- Even more fun than the Parade, we re-enact the movie and sweep through the hotels, starting at the Marriott, outside, up the street, finishing at the Hyatt. It is a
TON OF FUN and you don't want to miss it!! It's great photo ops, Spat's ace cameraman even filmed last year's sweep.

The crowds love it, and it's a time when the Colonial Marines take centerstage. You don't want to miss it.

So again, make sure when you're setting costume session times you leave all day Saturday for the Colonial Marines!

Sign up Marines and lock in your support for the USCM!!

Hooooooo-Rah!!

I'm bringing three marines with me this year, so it's likely to be much bigger.

... also, my wife has mentioned an interest in coming as well, so previous sleeping arrangements as well as "ass-cam" ventures may be put on hold. More to come...

I'm going to do everything in my power to make it.

If I do show up, I'm down for the parade but I won't partake in the sweep.

Well Tony, I know how much of a geek Cherie is...(like the rest of us I might add)

I bet she would come out to DC alone if she had too...I dont think anything would hold her back from her Firefly and Star Wars:D

Well I told her if it came down to it I know you'd all take care of her.

I will be back in the US in plenty of time for D Con and I'm hoping my corporate bonus will cover some of the expenses :)

Heck, some of the guy's wives were the life of the party. Angie/Mermear (Tentacle Chris' wife) and SWFreak's wife (who's name is escaping me, but she was a real sweetie as well) were great to meet and hang with.

Uhh... that's kind of the case, I'm afraid... but it seems the interest has been lost, I've secured from general quarters.

We always bring the kids down for the parade.... (benefit of being a local) so we'll be in the cheering section - just listen out for the marine-appropriate support coming from my mini-squad.

This year, "something" might be waiting for you at the Hyatt.

I think it's time you actually found something on the Sweep!

Wasn't for sure on that one, this seems to be a mostly USCM forum... mostly.

TPTB already moved one DC thread to the USCM Noticeboard, so that's probably where we're expected to have con discussions like this.
