Just saw some posts for wizard world coming up the end of January. Is this an event that we attend as a group? BRUCE CAMPBELL is supposed to be there, lots of Walking Dead folks and many others.
thoughts, comments, suggestions...

Kind of a long story - but here's the Cliff Notes: Yes, we used to attend as a group before WW changed their policy last year regarding fan tables. They used to provide tables and space for groups that were willing to help out with some promotion, but they changed that and instead only offer tables for rent. I believe the PDX price was $650 per table which included 4 passes. So well out of our range when we can barely get the $250 Starlight entry fee. And we normally used 2 booths(CCG and KB each applied for one) to fit our backdrop and table, so we'd be looking at $1300 to have the same thing as the past 2 years.
Everyone is welcome to attend on their own if they want, but there won't be any official 501st or RL presence there.

Good thing I'm on call and couldn't attend even if we had a presence. What a shame they are going for the total money grab.

Things have changed very rapidly, we now might have a presence there:

Maybe a hint for those of us that don't have access to that link?

Short version: We're in contact with WW about possibly getting a booth there again. Not a done deal, but they're talking to us, so there's hope.
