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!

Talking with Tony about getting the shelves/wall for the table next year. Does anyone have pictures of it? I was not at DragonCon when we used it and would like to see. I know talking with Derek that he has it. Just trying to get things together early, real early, instead of waiting till last minute just incase something comes up like this year.

Thanks!

Greg

I've got the banner we used this year (the one Scott Spence put together). Do we know who has the banner we've used previously?
I recall in previous years Jesse DeGraff FedEx'd it to me but it's since then been out of my hands.

The Hyatt does offer us power at no charge (or at least they've not asked for money the times we've been there) so that is something to think about.

Here's how it looked in 2009, before the back/shelves had anything on them:

Thanks Steve! I was not there that year and I know the table was very crowded this year. I was hoping that was what they looked like. This can get alot of the stuff up and out the way for the cards and flyers while still showing it off. Plus we can add black bed sheets or paper to the back. I say a must for next year.

Thanks!

Greg

Are these the banners you were talking about Tony?

Yeah, having those racks was great that year. It allowed all the spare weapons, helmets, and other assorted gear that accumulates on the table to be placed somewhere safe and out of the way where it could be seen. I also felt that having it lent a "prepared" and "professional" air to the fan table.

Holy crap that is too cool! Even a sentry computer and a little DropShip model!

Is this stuff all hands off, or do you let people play with it?

Gridwalls are heavy, and kinda bulky, so prolly they belong to a local member

This is what we do with five sections of gridwall and modular metal shelving

I have some extra hangers and a couple of corner shelves that are just sitting in the garage because we don't use them

Thanks! I just want to try and avoid the clutter of this year. When I was at the table we had a lot of traffic but unfortunately the cards and forms had weapons and gear on them. It was no ones fault. Just no place to put everything.

Thanks!

Greg

Wish I had known you guys used those grid walls --- I just chucked four 5'X2' walls back in June. I would have donated them to someone down there .... Oh well -- live and learn ! :-(
