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!

Country: Canada
The Aliens Legacy fan table and staffing
This post is staffed by Mike Rizzuto and assisted by Paul Maitland, Amy Jo Maitland, and Greg Newell.

*** TIMES UPDATE FROM DRAGONCON ***

Received an email from DragonCon regarding required staffing times for tables. Will amend the list accordingly.

Quote:
Table Staffing Hours
Table staffing requirements are designated to maximize exposure for the groups given the traffic patterns of Dragon Con members. Tables are required to be staffed during the hours listed below:
Friday, September 2nd – 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Saturday, September 3rd – 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Sunday, September 4th – 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

While the hours above are required, there is still a lot of traffic and people moving around much later into the day. It would be ideal to staff your table until 8:00 PM Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Staffing your table on Monday, September 4th is optional, but there is still a lot of traffic.

OK folks, about that DCon fan table...

What's it for? To some it's a anchor, a place we can say "I'll meet you at the table in 10 minutes". For others, It's a nice rest stop in the madness that is DCon. For some, it's a locker, where you can stash stuff while you are on your way to something else.

But, what it should ideally be is a place to represent the group to the public. Where we put our best foot forward and show ourselves off.

So, when it comes time to staff the table, you can hear the audible groan as folks roll their eyes and think "awww really? But it's DragonCon and I got other stuff I wanna do". I feel ya, I used to say "but I am on holiday" and skip away with never a thought for those on the table. Now I am one of the folks who help organise it, I look back on that comment and cringe. It made me look like a selfish douchebag to those who had put in the work.

So it's left down to a few folks to organise things like the meal, the table, the parade. Magic pixies don't make those things happen, people do.

Honestly, with the lack of interest, there's been talk of dropping the table altogether. To me, that would be a real real real shame.

So, if we want to keep the table, the community needs to step up a bit.

So what can you do?

1 hour at the table, wearing an Aliens themed shirt or (even better) your costume. Smile, talk to folks, have some fun with it. Tell them why our community is awesome and why you like being a part of it, show off your costume or props.

And when the hour is done, to the BAR!!!!! (Try Trader Vic's, their Mai Tai is the bomb).

So folks, what do you say? Give us an hour and I'll shut the hell up. Otherwise I'll follow you around during DCon, making disgusting sounding wet smacking noises behind you that will give you horrific mental images.

I'll be there and I have no real plans for the con at large so I can help staff the table at almost any time, especially Saturday.
I'll also be in my armor most of the con, so that's a plus for helping with that.

I'll be getting into this more in a later post, but I have convinced my entire family that DragonCon is our best choice for a 'family vacation'! The long and the short of it is I will be rolling 11 deep this year, with ages 1-59 in my group. (Kit is all sorted for 7 of them so far)


I would be happy to work the table a couple shifts. I will fill in my time slot as soon as I get a better idea of our collective schedules.

I will be manning the table with Mantroon. Since I am driving this year, Bishop's top half and Newt will be coming. And hopefully my new set of armour from Terry.


Thanks!

from what the website said, it sounds like they are trying to put everyone on the floor in front of the main ballroom where they do the big panels.

1st Sgt. Baldwin,

Greetings from Denver! I read your post about DragonCon and wanted to see if you had any additional information - dates, location, etc. Any help and insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I'd love to come and support my fellow Marines. In regards to my costume, I have re-created Bishop's flight suit. Pix will come shortly. I am also trying to start a squad here in Denver and Western US, but am not having much luck. I would love to find a squad to join up with if no one joins mine. I will also welcome any advice you have about that, too.

Good luck and good hunting, sir. Oorah to ashes.

Regards,

I'd like to help with the table on Friday. Currently, my plan is to fly in on that morning, and I'll be available all afternoon/evening.

Change of plans - I was able to book a flight for September 1. I'll be rolling into Atlanta at around 830-900 that night. If someone cancels and you need help manning the table on Friday morning or afternoon, let me know and I'll be there.

Awesome to see people stepping up! Thank you!

To anyone who has rarely done the table (or not at all), please consider doing just one shift. That hour goes by fast and helps out immensely!

The Aliens Legacy fan table and staffing
Minimum recommended staff per hour is two, at least one in uniform, highly recommended one person in armour, and perhaps one person in Colonial Marine branded clothing.



Do not have uniform, neither does my table mate, so will be in jeans and alien t shirt.

Thanks!

Greg

Paul is currently working on new business cards to hand out that are all uniform, instead of the 6 versions we have. That being said, we would also like some new handouts explaining who we are, how to join, etc. If anyone with some graphic design experience would like to volunteer, it would be much appreciated.
