IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THIS TROOP!

Need to make sure that troopers understand that they are NOT allowed to go into the main mall while in costume, PERIOD.

This needs to be reiterated throughout the event posting and in the Ops Orders. DO NOT GO INTO THE MAIN MALL! IF YOU ARE IN COSTUME YOU MUST REMAIN INSIDE THE VENUE. Even if another store invites us to come over, they are NOT part of this event and they MUST submit a request like any other event requestor.

The TL for this will need to be completely on board with this restriction and given the appropriate authority to make sure we keep OUR people in line with it. Mall security would be justified in being concerned also for the fact that a crowd taking pictures might create a bottleneck in the mall.

Comments:

We would love for the GGG to attend New-Con-Fest here in the east bay. All characters welcome! This will be a 2 day pop/comic convention with guest artists, panels, vendors, and cosplay contest. The event will take place in Newpark Mall in Newark, CA and hosted by Green Machine Comics. The venue will be in a former Rasputin’s Records store to give you an idea of the size of the con. A secure changing area will be provided along with free admission for any characters/handlers. Helmets and blasters are ok in the venue, but not allowed outside of the venue meaning not in the main mall.

The GGG is also welcome to set up a booth or display, but please let me know so I can arrange space. More details to come!

    Going as TB maybe as TK. My presence is tentative, and will be subjected to review. It has not been currently sanctioned by the Mrs. I will, however, post any updates of potential cancelation.
