Hey All,

Con Carolina 2013 was epic in my books. First Timothy Zahn and his wife are the best of people. The con was I felt better this year than last for the room/spacing (more in there but did not feel crowded) We had a larger area this year. We had Blast-A-Trooper for the first time at this Con. Plus tons of Panels, lot of sellers in the Dealers room, Bands, Ghostbusters, 66 style Batmobile (drool), Dr Who was big this time, Mandos, KAG and a Loooot of cosplayers. I think I only got 4 hours worth of Sleep in the three days LOL!!!

We did get a little over a $100.oo for MAW (YEAY!!)

I also the Dinner was fun with Tim, his wife and the CG/RL family. We gave Tim a 10th anniversary coin and patch at dinner.

I got to fill in for Albin for one of the Main events panels with Tim Zahn (yeay!)

I wanted to thank all the CGrs and BRRL that came out and was a part of this and help with the table/trooping.

Hey folks,

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out for ConCarolinas. This was a transition year for us and we are thrilled to say that our final number came in at 1455 total. Considering we could have taken a real hit attendance wise, we were down less than 30 from last year. :mrgreen:

ConCarolinas will be making a donation on behalf of the 501st to MAW for 175.00.

Again, thanks for being a part of ConCarolinas.
