Planet Comicon Kansas City Info and Roll Call: March 21-23, 2025 (Kansas City, MO)

[Spartan4204]

Just realized I never actually confirmed my attendance, so mark me as boots on the ground, with possible plus 1. I plan to be down Thursday and can help set up. Also, whats the reccomended hotel? Ill most likely stay at Lotus again but its also 10 minutes away

 

[Fallen]

Loews hotel is attached.

 

[MNKr]

Just requested to join the Midwest regiment. Been a member here for around 15 years. In the early days there weren't a whole lot of Halo guys running around Planet. I'm pretty sure I can be boots on ground for a part of Saturday and would love to tag along.

I submitted your request to join the Midwest! I look forward to seeing you at Planet!

 

[FvWrstNghtmare]

Mark me as tentative please!

 

[Fallen]

We are confirmed. Still working on details on booth size and panel submissions, but I'll keep you all posted.

 

[SSGLordErne]

Fingers crossed its the size we asked for..

 

[Spartan4204]

Fingers crossed its the size we asked for..

They'll give it to us unless they want to suffer the wrath of....

...Larry.

 

[Fallen]

Request for all of you who are planning to attend. If you have a helmet you want to put on display at any point can you post with 2 pieces of information for me, what helmet it is and who made it (you or if you commissioned or purchased from someone them). Example: my firefall would be Helmet: Firefall, Maker: Fallen, but my ODST would be Helmet: ODST, Maker: Sean Bradley. I have something I want to put together for the booth and that you all could keep if desired, but I need that info to make it happen. Doesn't mean your item can't go on display without that, but it's something I want to add where possible.

 

[NobleofDeath16]

I’ll drop my helmet off for this early March when I drive through ST Louis to go to Illinois.

Helmet - Mark VII ,Maker - Branfuhr Studios

 

[HoundsOfMeath]

Please put me down as tentative

I'll confirm 100% when I can set aside enough for room and tickets and travel. My budget is very strict right now

 

[Fallen]

Re-sharing the shift sign-up sheet. Now is the time I'll start asking people to sign up for shifts. Goal is to have at least 3 people across photo and outreach per shift with each shift being 1 hour.
