Forum:SH Archive/Celebration IV table

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

There have been a couple/few of us who talked before about having a table at Celebration IV. I have kinda been waiting to hear from Lucasfilm before we really bring this up publicly. Well, it seems that next month is when they will begin taking applications, so I thought we may want to go ahead and begin discussing:
 * 1) Do we want to do it?
 * 2) What do we want to do at our table?
 * 3) Would we be willing to have a fan event?

I have talked to Wikia about this a little, and they are willing to help us out with this, too, though obviously their resources are limited. So the key word is "help." We would still have to do quite a bit of work and probably spend some of our own money to make this come off well.

Do we want to do it?
Remember this will involve some work, so when you vote "yes" think of it also as a commitment to help in whatever way you can.

Yes

 * 1) I think this would be a great opportunity for more exposure for Wookieepedia, and a chance for fellow Wookieepedians to meet each other. Sometimes I think every true fan has heard of Wookieepedia by now, but that's not necessarily true.  I run across people all the time who are big Star Wars fans, but have never heard of us.

What do we want to do at our table?
I've never been to a Celebration, so I'm not as familiar with them as some are. My only (lame) idea at this point is passing out a flyer with our info on there. I think this would be a very basic thing. We need much more creative ideas than this. :) WhiteBoy 17:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Would we be willing to have a fan event?
Mary (from Lucasfilm) suggested a "stump the Wookieepedia experts" event on the fan stage. The way I figure this would work would be several of our best Wookieepedians on stage answering trivia questions from the crowd. This probably wouldn't be the only idea that could work for a fan event, but it's one she suggested, and I think it's a good one! WhiteBoy 17:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
