FAQ
Q: Are we meeting at the main fountain out front of the convention center?
A: No, we’re meeting at the circular fountain by the convention center arena.
Q: Do I need to bring something to trade with?
A: Nope, but if you want to, I highly encourage it! Doubles you have of Legends books, custom swag, etc. are all great. I’ll be bringing some Legends items that I have doubles of and some custom made items that need loving homes.
Q: Is this the same night as Disney After Dark?
A: Yes, sorry. Unfortunately there just aren’t enough nights of the con to deconflict with everything. Friday night is the night I’m most free, so that’s what I picked.
Q: Do I need to wear a mask?
A: Yes. Even though we are outside please wear a mask. This convention has a high attendance so let’s not spread anything but love for the original Expanded Universe!
Q: Anything else?
A: Be kind to each other. Transphobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. will not be tolerated.
