Forum:SH:Wookieepedia at Celebration Anaheim, April 16–19, 2015

On April 16 to 19, 2015, thousands of Star Wars fans from across the galaxy will converge on Anaheim, California, for the next Star Wars Celebration. The purpose of this thread is to track what Wookieepedians are going and discuss anything related to a potential Wookieepedia fan table.

Who's going?

 * 1) &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers 17:53, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Put me down as 70% likely. It's still a ways out, but I'd really like to support the endeavor. Also do we want to look into a panel again? --  Riffsyphon  1024 18:42, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) *I'm interested in doing so, but I personally would like to see more people helping out than we had last time before we go down that road. Five people isn't really enough to man the table and run a panel simultaneously IMO, at least not if somebody wants to attend a different panel at the same time. I'd like to see at least six or seven people committed and willing to help out before I seriously consider a panel. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Holocomm 21:25, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) **Bump bump. Wanting to get this discussion done again. Improving to 75% likelihood, based on money now. --  Riffsyphon  1024 11:07, January 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Depending on where I am in 2 years, I would love to go. If it's possible, I certainly will. Supreme Emperor (talk) 22:50, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) It will take an act of the Force to keep me away from a Celebration located so close to where I live. jSarek (talk) 05:10, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) I'm planning to go. Already saving up.  Already planning lodging (protip: the more people we cram into a hotel room, the cheaper).  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:05, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) *No thanks.  JangFett  (Talk) 19:23, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * 9) **Based on previous hangout time, I think we can work out something. --  Riffsyphon  1024 10:53, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

Fan table
Information on fan tables as well as the application are here. The deadline is to submit the application is September 15, 2014, which is a little over a year from now.

Worker signup
List your name here if you're committed to going and willing to put in some hours at the table. The more people that help out, the less time everyone needs to spend at the table and the more time everyone can spend enjoying the show.


 * 1) I have the banner that we used at Celebration VI. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers 17:53, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Count me in again! I loved manning the table last time, and I'd love to do it again.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:05, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Fan table discussion
Discuss the possibility of a fan table here.
 * If I can get a free entry pass, I'll go :P  JangFett  (Talk) 00:30, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * We do get four free exhibitor passes with the table. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers 01:18, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I hear a free airline ticket and hotel reservations are complimentary as well.  JangFett  (Talk) 21:37, August 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * I wish. That would help my budget tremendously. :P &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Holocomm</b> 05:14, August 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * That would be immensely helpful, though I would still look at getting people together in rooms if possible. --  Riffsyphon  1024 20:22, August 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sure Wikia would love to sponsor a trans-Atlantic flight in first class as well as a royal hotel suite somewhere. 1358  <sup style="color:#336600;">(Talk)  20:23, August 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well duh, our money tree is just over-flowing. =P - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  20:56, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

General discussion
Anything not related to a fan table goes here.


 * Hey guys. Glad to see you're already thinking ahead! I wanted to let you know that in the next few weeks, we at Wikia are going to be meeting to talk about how we can make a bigger footprint at the show for all our Star Wars communities. At the same time, we also want to help you design your own presence (similar to the assistance we provided for Celebration VI, but with the benefit of a year and a half of planning time). There are no details about what our presence will be yet, since it's still so far out, but I wanted to make sure you knew about it so you could begin thinking about ways that we can help you&mdash;and how, once we have more details, we can work together for a collective Star Wars Wikia community presence. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  22:23, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer of assistance again. Unlike some other fan groups, we don't have a club treasury built from dues, website ads, and the like, so it's difficult to come up with the money. As I said above, I still have the banner from Celebration VI, so that can be reused if they'll let us (the copyright line on it says 2012 and makes no mention of Disney, so that may cause problems). Regardless, we will definitely need new flyers (any leftovers from CVI will be two and a half years out of date), and I don't know what internet will cost, if anything, yet. We will definitely want our a table of our own in the fan group area, separate from any Wikia booth (which would likely be in the vendors' area), but that doesn't mean we can't still work together for the good of both. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Holocomm</b> 22:37, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. We'll keep you updated on anything we decide on the Wikia end. :) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  23:00, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * As MJ noted, he is a Wikia Star, as is Trak Nar and CC7567. Do we know if CC is onboard? Additionally, my chance to go is based on how much money I can save up over the next year, and that is based on how fast I finish my thesis, which is costing me roughly $1800 a semester to kick it down the road. --  Riffsyphon  1024 10:55, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

Shirts

 * Yeah, shirts. We did this for Celebration IV last time in Los Angeles. I would really like to see a new design that celebrates our tenth anniversary (as it will be by 2015). The more Wookiees that purchase one, the cheaper the cost. --  Riffsyphon  1024 11:16, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would be interested in a shirt, but I lack the ability to design it. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Council Chambers</b> 05:27, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
