Booth:
One of the folks at Bruce County Comicon saw out booth at the London Comicon this past fall and would be thrilled to have us out with a similar setup! They will give us the space we need for Halo cosplayers, a halo-themed photo backdrop, and space for us to display props and helmets. Tentatively this is a space 16-20 feet wide. Free entry will be provided for costumers and handlers. A secure changing/staging area can also be provided.

Final Thoughts:
I understand that we do not have any members in the Bruce County area, but I wanted to at least let all of you know that the event is happening and the event has reached out to the 405th requesting an appearance. I've been in touch with them and let them know there is a possibility we do not have anyone available, even though I would love to make this happen.

As far as booth resources go, I have a backdrop I can borrow from our dear friends in the Midwest, a few props, and a few helmets and plenty of helmet stands. I have 405th Stickers and can get business cards made. I will work on getting ahold of a banner and other branding in the coming months. What I would love from you guys is to see at least 2 other folks willing to help set up the booth and show off their awesome cosplays and props for the day.

Our ultimate goal with convention booths is to show the public the awesome things they are able to achieve with the help of the 405th. Initially they are drawn to our booth because of the super awesome props and costumes you have created, and from there we can encourage them to check out the forums, get a-craftin', and build their own character. If encouraging folks to discover the joy we've found in making costumes and props is something you'd like to do, then please consider coming out to this event.

Reach out to me if you have any questions/concerns about this event at all! I'd be happy to answer them as best I can.

Oh, sweet! I’m actually covering the convention again this year with a friend as part of my media production group, so I’ll definitely be there! Not sure how much I’ll be able to help out or have props on display though since I might have my hands full, but I’ll have a better idea closer to the date as we sort out logistics. Last year’s event was run really well and had a pretty crazy attendance for a first-time con out in the middle of nowhere.

I’ll have to check in with the organizers and my buddy to figure out what we’ll be doing in terms of coverage. It’s a small venue, and last time we wrapped up early, so we had some downtime to shoot and chill a bit. It'd be nice if there's other members who could come out.
