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!

While I think that would be cool..... Technically, you really can't show a movie like that. You would need permission from Fox to show it (and you'd have to pay for it). Obviously, you can just pop it in and play it, but the con may not like that.

Maybe a mixed DVD of some clips from the movie, clips of some of the fan films, clips of Marines at drops, the colony sweeps, etc.? Put that on a loop and we should be good to go!

A few years ago I made a video file of ALL of the USCM moments with the 'adult language' dubbed.
Started from the Sulaco coming in to Hicks getting a shower in the elevator.

But at a con like D*Con...I would not show the entire movie.
Maybe the trailer, clips and then some fan stuff.

Besides, I think people would be more interested in seeing us in action than the movie.

I thought he meant the DVD Russ put together....but ADC's documentary would be a GREAT idea.
Obviously with the necessary permissions.

If it's a Laptop we'll be using, it should be fine. ADC also does not recall region encoding the DVDs.

I don't think you get to reserve it. Isn't it first come, first served?

Our fan table has been confirmed by D*Con but placement is indeed first come first served.

As usual I'll be down in the bowels of the Hyatt searching for 'the clipboard lady' to get our table Thursday evening with plans to get one backed against the wall with a power outlet.

If all goes correctly we'll be in the same area as last year.

Let me know if you need help with the table (reservation, adding exhibits, etc. ) on Thursday or Friday.

As long as it is not by the stairs like 2 years ago I will be happy. I will also be around to help out. We will be bringing goodies.

Thanks!

That's the backup location if all the wall tables are gone.

I just realized that I signed up for after the UKCM colony sweep. I may be a bit tipsy at the table guys. Sorry.

Actually, on topic, the pin up squad was thinking we may do some pics around the table at my time slot on Sunday. This should be fun to have booth babes!

I think we had red last year...but everyone was afraid to drink it.
Make sure you open it so we know it's drinkable.

FYI before anyone panics I have the flags and sign from last year safe and sound....I think.

...let me check
