2012 Toronto Prop Party **JUNE 2nd, 2012**

Maybe even try an ad on Craigslist or something like that?

I can make name tags if you like. Just give me the dimensions you want them at.

One thing I've found, if people start saying what they're going to bring you'll have something to advertise. On my wall post I mentioned that the Delorean would be there as well as my HIC. Helps to get people excited about what they're going to see as well as who they're going to meet.

Maybe I'll bring my Zombie hunter truck. It;s almost done, by June it should be good.

Yes!

Bring your Boba stuff too, really cool.

Also Caveneau, looking at the pics it looks like for So-Cal they were in a gymnasium. Maybe a cheaper idea for next time? Never even thought of a gym.

Big items I'm planning on bringing:

- Han in Carbonite
- Stormtrooper
- ANH Vader Helmet
- Warmachine Helmet
- TIE Pilot Helmet
- AT-AT Helmet

As well as my full batch of smaller items. Like last time I'll have some stuff to sell and will bring some cash if anyone else is selling something I fancy.

Just remembered I may have the 4ft Optimus Rifle done too. It's been really coming along. I'll have to post some pics soon.

I think it was some kind of masonic lodge

I need 1/2 a table tops, just want to bring a few small things.

Thanks,
Neil.

No problem Neil

April 1 is the 80s toy show. 2 week later is Wizard World. If there is some flyers I can print some up and drop some off at a flyers table.

I'll try to put together a flyer for folks to print by the end of the week. Great idea!

Yeah, great idea Alex, thanks.

I was just thinking there's not much time to get a flyer printed up.

Thanks O_B for taking the initiative on making any kind of flyer.

I guess the flyer could be state:

-RPF Toronto Prop Party 2012.
-Saturday June 2nd
-Prop Collectors exhibition
-1677 Wilson Ave/Days Hotel
-Everyone welcome
-Admission $15(WITH THIS FLYER)
-Facebook site 'Toronto Prop Party'
Something like that.


Re: Admission $15... I mean if we're doing a flyer, I figure I can play with the admission price because ultimately I'd like it lower than $20 anyway. With a flyer there's greater chance of exposure and a potential turnout of over 20 -25 people.

You, see, this makes me think I should have got the larger room but I'd be gambling on attendance vs. costs, which I don't really want to do.

However, if we can get miniumum 15-20 people who attend from the flyers alone, we could easily get the larger room for next year's party, knowing that the flyers are effective.

Thanks for this you guys.

Talked with our weekend producer. Global News will send a camera so you'll get a bit of publicity for yourself and your props.

Nicely done OB!

Heading home now. Will make and post a flyer tonight.

OB, hope you don't mind (certainly didn't mean to step on your toes) but I was bored today and did up a flyer which matches a t-shirt I have been working on.

Go nuts and post. I'm a busy guy and certainly don't mind the help.

Here's a PDF of both a full page and a 2 up version to save paper. I am not sure if the admission price needed to be updated or not.

Hope you guys like it!

Works for me!

That's great news.
Exposure for the event is the real satisfaction for me.

We may have a bigger crowd for next year's party and we can probably get the larger room also next year.

Thanks guys.
You rock!

Very nicely done!!

Hopefully the idea of some press will encourage people to bring their stuff to show off. Our weekend producer is a total nerd, if he wasn't working he'd be at the party.

Just purchased a few items from micdavis and he's sending something extra for the raffle. As of right now it's a mystery prize!

That's cool of him.
He donated a prize last year too.

Awesome! Be sure to thank micdavis! I'll donate something too, might be a screen used Serenity banknote, but I will have to see if I have any to spare, will see if I have anything else too. Hopefully we can get more raffle prizes!

Woo hoo! Sticky treatment.
