Dates are March 12-14th. At the Orange County Convention center. Hopefully, prayfully the same place C5 is going to be. They already have a start of celeberty guest line up. You can check it out here. I think you will be happy with the line up. I know I will be.

Also, Steve Sansweet will be there. From his Facebook page:

Star Wars at MegaCon

There will be an official Star Wars presence for the first time this year at MegaCon, the popular Orlando, Florida fan event that attracts top comic and pop-culture guests, lots of exhibitors, and more than 30,000 attendees over three days.

Tickets range in price from the $30s to the $70s. I usually stick with the midlevel tickets, but this one I'd probably aim for the top. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) http://swgfa.com/topic/983 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 15:25:50 PST http://swgfa.com/topic/967/t/Orlando-quot-minivent-quot-Return---Jedi--Campbell-39-s-plac.html
We're still working out a time, but I'm thinking we'll start around 4 or 5pm, depending on what those interested think. This is a very casual get together, not some official meeting. If you can come, I think we're going to have a great time. If you can't, it's no big deal. I look forward to more gatherings like this and hope that other people will post if you're interested in inviting people to whatever little things sound like fun. Time to return to movie nights, trivia parties, boat trips, and movie outings! ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) http://swgfa.com/topic/967 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:41:50 PST http://swgfa.com/topic/942/t/Star-Wars-Fan-Days-Plano-TX-24-25-October-2009.html

Here's the countdown clock and a thread for us to discuss our plans. Sharon, think you might go? I think you're the only person I've heard from that may be going. I'll probably go since it's been three years since my last rollout and I like to see huge aisles of Star Wars crap!

With a whopping $20 ($15 online) ticket price for one day I'm not expecting to make it. It's been since CIV that I made it to a con, so it sounds like fun, but I don't think my budget or schedule can fit this one in. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) http://swgfa.com/topic/539 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 23:17:03 PST http://swgfa.com/topic/538/t/Free-Star-Wars-showings-in-Casselberry-21-26-September.html this flyer for details.

Anyone think they might be able to go? They start at 6pm and will include costume contests and games. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) http://swgfa.com/topic/538 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 12:24:13 PST http://swgfa.com/topic/540/t/Dragon-Con-2007-in-Atlanta.html Dragon*Con this year?

Ideally, I'd like to get myself three things. One is an OrlandoSystem badge to hang on my lanyard with the convention one. Another would be some sort of business card-like thing to hand out to anyone I meet that might be interested in participating in our group. Lastly, that t-shirt, which will somehow utilize the term "OrlandoSystem.com" on it in the vain hope to engage some fans.

Does anyone have any ideas to this end? Do you also want to come up with something to identify yourself as an OSer? If so, this is the place to discuss it.

One minor idea... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (sabacc72) http://swgfa.com/topic/547 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:48:30 PST http://swgfa.com/topic/552/t/OASIS-20-Memorial-Day-Weekend.html
