PORTLAND COMIC CON NOV 9th
« on: October 18, 2008, 07:42:24 PM »
hello people;
   i am wondering who would be going to this comic con. i was disappointed to hear that we are only invited to every second event (spring). and i was not going to attend, or get a table this one because of that, and i WAS really busy that weekend. however after talking to my guys, and rearranging some commitments, i am going to have a table there. mainly because i really need to unload my overstock at a loss to keep my shop alive (and keep my house).
   but the real reason i am posting this, at Allan's urging, is to see who wants to "CRASH THE CON". if anyone wants to show up in costume we can start a roster. and then ill join in as "old ben" (hell i just might anyways).  :mrgreen:
   and if you are not aware, tonys kingdom always offers %10-%20 off any member of DST/CCG/RL (i just love you (us) guys too much_) my merchandise. :shock:.................old tony kenobi

I think that if you have a non-SW related costume you should wear it. One of the reasons we went last November was to just put more costumed people in there. Overall, it's a relatively small show, so anything that makes it more like those other high-profile conventions can only make the Portland shows better!

I'm definitely planning on going as an EVO Trooper this year.

I might be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that the Orycon had a rule against any and all masks and weapons. (buckets and blasters)  Am I confusing this with a different event?  I'd like to possibly attend and suit up as well, if this is not the case.  Anybody know for sure?  Jason

These are two seperate Events.
The portland comic book convention is a comic book flee market with some people, comic book artists/writers/editors (blah Blah) that are there to sign a few things. This really isn't a convention, but more of a gathering of comic book stores/collectables/and a few celebs to peddle things. There
are no panels and such.....

Orycon is Portlands own Sci-fi convention. It has costume contests (sometimes) a few panels, and of course dealers. I don't know alot about this one as I have never been, but their site is...

  thanks for the clarification cooter. your exactly right, this is more of swap meet/flea market, i just thought "crash the con" had a cool ring to it 8). and thanks for bringing up the orycon, im gonna have to check that one out also.
  as for costumes, i agree with kyle, wear whatever characters you wish. the more the better. i was lionitus from the 300 a couple years ago :oops:.....................old tony kenobi
