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!

Thanks, knoxvilles_joker! :Salute: I'm up in Lexington KY, and I will definitely be there. Hopefully I'll have my M-41A by then for them to sign.

I got the weekend pass and a room with double bed Fri and Saturday. Looking to drive up Friday but might have to work part of the day. Looking forward to this seeing that DragonCon does not care to book Alien members. Plan on armoring up on Sat and maybe Sun.

Thanks!

Greg

Tickets purchased here as well. No way I'll have armor (planning on Spatcave's) by then, but here's hoping I'll have the M-41A at least. October 6-8 seems like a long way off. :shock:

Me and the wife will be there at least for one day. I am still trying to figure out how to set aside a few grand for a mission trip and then do this the month before the trip.

And the other thread I made for the past expo:

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=16842

They are having another one June 29 - July 1.

I have some of the local eateries listed. If anyone agrees on a location I can make arrangements for the specified restaurant.

I will see if the Holiday Inn next to the convention will be willing to have extended hours during that event.

If you want some awesome cider you can get an uber ride to saw works. Knoxville is becoming a center for micro breweries. Nothing compared to Asheville but we are catching up.

I will be there too; tickets already purchased. But no armor (yet) - just my Matrix M-41A, which arrived today. Very eager to get that signed. :)

Does anyone have any ideas for activities or preferred locations they would wish to attend? At this point I could go ahead and see about booking staff at the bar at the holiday inn and see about some simple snack foods that might be available through out the night or once the activity stops...

Also if you want the super vip or vip tickets, BUY THEM NOW!!!! They always run out of them early. I think the last fan boy had close to 40k people each day easily going through.

Not for sure. Taking it one step at a time. Hopeful there will be a panel we can be a part of. Do not see anything about tables but it is my next question.

Tables are about 300 or so for a spot at the show. Unfortunately, out of my price range due to some other things I am doing in tandem after the convention. I think some of the leadership folks would have to coordinate with the fanboy folks to see what we can get and for how much. Ideally we should see if we can get a table next to the 501st as our interests overlap slightly.

Snippet from site:

DEALER BOOTHS
REGULAR IN LINE BOOTHS: $325
CORNER BOOTHS: $375
Fanboy Expo will provide a 10’x10’ pipe and draped space with two (2)exhibitor badges, one (1) 8’ table and two (2) chairs with each booth space.

TABLES AVAILABLE
ARTIST ALLEY (COMIC INDUSTRY PROS) – $100
You music be a Comic Artist, Illustrator, Writer, Publisher to purchase an Artist Alley Table. Includes one 6 foot table, two chairs and two event badges.
CREATORS ALLEY -$125
These tables are reserved for people selling crafts, jewelry, cosplay items, filmmakers, etc… Includes one 8 foot table, two chairs and two event badges.
*Please note: Table assignments are first come first serve basis at setup. Management reserves all rights.

No free booze as it were, though I would say I would be willing to buy the first round of soda as a sign of comaradre for all of the wonderful memories this board and its members brings back to all involved. I would do well just to get the bar staffed as this town effectively shuts down after 10pm as does the airport at McGhee Tyson(TYS). I can see what can be done about some minor provisions for food either for purchase or a simple buffet. It really comes down to cost and this comes at a time where I have to really budget things. Now with the University of Tennessee and the strip (Cumberland Avenue before it turns into Kingston Pike AKA Thunder Road from the bootlegger days) you might have some cheap options, but be careful with the college crowd due to the rowdy nature of things. I have posted in the other threads the other locations that are open late but you would have to uber or taxi to those spots if you do not want to walk.

Though going with your mention look up knoxbrewtours.com. We are a growing center for local distilleries. Nothing compared against asheville, but still...

Everyone is welcome to PM me for more details or ideas so we don't clog the thread so we can actually stay focused on tightly packed information in the threads.
