The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I thought we should have a place to list out what things we are planning to do as individuals (in addition to the official AL events listed HERE), so that we can meet up and do stuff together if possible.

C&P the list, add your events, and add your name to the entries and then I'll try to keep the first post up to date.

List

CON*tourage MEET & GREET, 8–10pm, Hyatt Regency ‘Twenty-Two Storys’ - PVB

Friday

Saturday
Cruxshadows Concert - Time: TBC - Attendance: Pug50, Scapey, aurora, skapunkninja, PlasticPrincess, TK-1085

Here used to be a drinking game where I would say, "So I was drunk off my ass in a bar with a....", and someone would throw in a noun, and I would have to tell a TRUE story about that event.

Good times.... Good times....

Ok, the idea of eight 'Spat' costumes kinda scares me!! Almost as much as Anubian costumes do, and if ya throw the Munkey into the mix, I will go into hiding

Friday: wander,bar,wander, bar repeat
Saturday: Parade, Cruxshadows, debating AL dinner or 501 mixer, or Aquarium depends on the folk I'm traveling down with sorta.
Sunday: Um IDK?

Going to put in some time at the table, but not sure which hours yet.

I'd better make it back to this podcast ("NSFW Show") this year since they put me in their site header http://bbliveshow.info/Main_Page

Worst thing is: it's gonna be at 8:30pm on Sunday. By which time I will be pretty drunk ... :)

So, is no-one else planning to do anything at D*Con this year? ;)

Being a first timer, I think I'll just see what happens - I've looked at the guest list and it reads like a small town population, include all the events and it's a bit overwhelming. I think I'll settle for the Parade, AL dinner and whatever else happens in front of me!!
