I think I can go, but my schedule is iffy this far out. I have a wedding to attend the night before so helping set up is out and they have that Star Wars Reads stuff going on that day and my being the local base CO of the RL might tailspin my attendance.
I'd far rather do the prop party than the Reads thing, that's for sure.
Count me in!
Any chance to chat with Don is a good thing. Looking forward to meeting other RPFers as well.

This is getting closer, so I wanted to ask a few questions:
Since this is at Don's shop, will we have space to display props? Do we need to bring our own table and chairs? How much space is available? What are we doing about refreshments?
I am planning on attending.
I'll bring my Iron Man suit as well as some other busts to display.
Thanks, Darren
BTW, from my experience it's not a prop party unless Clone6 brings a sandwich or veggie tray from Costco.

Hey Matt,
I may want to bring a couple of guests. Will that be all right? One may be a Marvel comic artist who has worked on few movie prequel projects.
HUH... why has no one told me about this yet?
What's the start time again. Didn't see it in the first post and I'm sure others are wondering too.
What about an address?
I looked through this thread, and through the website and didn't see one. Did I miss something?
Looking forward to it and the answers to the questions above.
I have emailed don asking about street address and start time. As soon as I hear back, I will update the thread.
In other news, I will be unable to attend, which is kind of a bummer but it is what it is. I'm sure you'll all still have plenty of fun in my absence, and I hope you'll all raise a glass to me in fond memory
I plan on being there as well.

I need a volunteer! Someone to take the reigns on the "day of" organization of the event. Really not a lot of heavy lifting to be done, just someone on the ground to act as point-man (or woman) and free up Don to take care of his stuff.
Please post here if you're interested. Without a volunteer, I think Don will want to reschedule.
Could you be more specific about the duties and time commitment of the volunteer?
Chuey has volunteered to take over as ringmaster for this fine event, and I KNOW you are in good hands.
Mega apologies for not being able to attend, but a project that I am committed to is filming that weekend and they need me on set.
Abby and I both plan to be on hand too if Mark needs anything.MattMunson said:
Looking forward to the event, and to the details. I can get tables if need be. But need to know this weekend, so that I can pick them up.
thanks!
I too am looking forward to this one. I would like to find out before the event how much display space we will have, as this will determine what we bring, and if I need to bring my own table.
Hi Everyone-
As Matt mentioned, unfortunately he cannot attend and was meant to coordinate. Since I have no time for planning or organizing, I was relying on him (and/or a group of you folks) to take the lead...all I could offer was my shop space.
I don't want anyone disappointed, but as I explained to Matt I don't know what is needed, what people expect, how many are attending, etc.
For this to still happen next weekend, someone has to jump in ASAP and take the lead and assure me that everything will run smoothly.
Additionally, I believe I mentioned (at least to Matt) that my shop is SMALL. When I made the offer to host earlier in the year, we were in a much larger space--I had hoped that the date would have been set before September 1st, but it didn't work out that way. I was allowing it to move forward, even though we're still organizing the space, while working on two projects (and I just was returned from an overseas business trip). So don't expect a whole lot...and the organizer will have to come up with some creative ideas for layout (another reason to chat with that person).
As to time, it could start at 10:00 am and run until 5:00, 6:00, 7:00... There is ample parking but nowhere to eat within walking distance (but plenty of places within a mile radius). I have a fridge and cooler...and a bathroom.
The shop is located in Petaluma, about an hour north of San Francisco. If this can be pulled off, I'll post the address.
As I said, I don't want to disappoint anyone, but I was also hoping that this would be a cool get together with some fun surprises...if it needs more time to be properly planned, I'd rather reschedule so everyone has a good time.

If you like I can come by your shop and give it a look-see to see what options we have. I am also friends with Chuey and can be his eyes on this if need be.
I live in Cotati so it's not a big deal to get there.
Pm me if you want.
I am interested in coming up, if this is still going on... if not I blame Matt for everything.
Hi folks,
I met with Don and Bothan Jedi today to assess if the prop gathering can happen this Saturday. While Don wanted to be a gracious host, it was decided to postpone the gathering for some future date. Don and his staff are tackling some work projects and it would be disrespectful to just pop in. There is simply not enough space for people to display stuff while his studio staff and he are tackling work.
However, there is a possible silver lining. In postponing the gathering, Don would possibly like to bring additional professional resources to the table.
I can not specify a date yet, but it was discussed that we will give folks on this board hopefully three or four weeks advanced notice. I will post a brand new thread once things are sorted out.
Moderators: Please change this title of this thread to "NorCal Prop Party has been CANCELLED!!! - Oct 6, Petaluma".
