I'm attending the Power of the Force Con this weekend for the first time and as member of the crew. Today we set everything up for the guests tomorrow. It was a fun day and I could even take some quick pics of the progress. More tomorrow.

Tamer: I have a LOT to report. I used the ride home to sort all the good memories I made over the weekend! I had a blast and so did the crew and most importantly our guests.


DarthHawk: Word! I haven't felt so good in a long while. More pictures from Saturday follow now. ;)

Saturday

Whew, this day was so busy that I couldn't take pictures before the end of the convention. Vendors made good deals and covered their hot cargo in the evening.
I was the personal assistant of Katie Purvis and focused just on my assignments. It definitely saved me some serious money because there were so many cool figures and vehicles to buy like the green and red A-Wing from 2002 and 2009.



Well, as you can see it was a rainy day so the weather couldn't be better for an indoor convention. But it wasn't ideal for the guests who had to wait in the rain.

IT'S NOT FAIR!!!
I have to sit at home while there is a great con going on??????
IT'S NOT FAIR!!
I'm not much in to collecting anymore but there is a whole lotta stuff there
I wish I had in my basement.
I can see why you had such a great time.
Maybe someday I will win the lottery and I can travel anywhere I want
and attend all these great conventions.

DarthHawk: Well, on Saturday we had a group of Americans who flew all the way from the States to attend this convention. They said many stars rarely come to conventions in the USA, which I think is unfortunate. On Sunday there were quite a few guests from Belgium and France. It was quite impressive to me to see so many international guests attending. This convention has become bigger and bigger over the years. I have more pictures in store. They not meant to tease you. I really hope you find a nice convention in your area, soon.


Tamer: Thanks. I added this photo for our members to see. It was NOT meant to be shared in public.

Saturday's Cosplayers

You might want to click here to take a second look at my post above. A good friend of mine took more pictures which I added. I'm very thankful that he allowed me to share them because I hardly had time to take pictures myself during the event. 1,337 tickets were scanned on Saturday so it was busyyyy! 4,000 tickets were sold in total - 2,000 for each day.



























And here's a video by Taun Taun Talk that's focused mainly on the amazing Cosplayers and costumes on the convention - NO TALKING  bbfet

My assignments kept me so busy during the con that I wasn't even able to take a look around. Fortunately fellow YouTuber DSD captured it all. After I saw what vendors had on their tables, my wallet thanked me a lot.

Great costumers at this convention.
I hope DM saw a lot of these cosplayers.

It is always great to see the cosplayers. They have so much time and energy invested in their costumes just to bring fans joy.
