(NC) Oct 17 Crystal Coast Con
Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2015 9:20 am
We had a shared 501st/RL/Mercs table at this year's Crystal Coast Con at Mack Daddy's in Emerald Isle. We've had a table there several years in the past, Jane made all of the arrangements with them and helped set up on the day of the con. She printed flyers and left a photo album for people to flip through and I brought along my work-in-progress Mando helmet as a decoration.
Brandy (DZ-41982) and I (DZ-10206) manned the table the whole day, we had assistance from a friend that came as a handler (he borrowed my Jedi garb) and we met another RL hopeful in an excellent Jedi costume. He hung around for a while and we got to know him.
We had plenty of others stop by that were familiar with one or all of the costuming groups and seemed surprised that we were in this area. We handed out all of the pamphlets, even resorted to writing things down. TONS of photo requests, and a lot of people remembered some of us from previous years. It was a great time for a small con.
Didn't get many pictures as we were in costume but I found this one a friend took.
They were taking free pictures and printing them out for anyone attending so I got mine... Heh
