Re: East Coast prop party! Yup, this time for real...
Yikes, I forgot that the 23rd was Memorial day weekend.
Is everybody ok with that? It keeps popping up here and in e-mails as the most-selected date.
The time is Saturday from 11am ish to about 5pm. We get the room for 6 hours plus set-up/breakdown time.
AFAIK, we have never lost a prop in the what? 7 or 8 parties that have been held over the years?
We HAVE had kids meander around and break other folks' items, so if you bring young children, they MUST be managed accordingly.
I remember I had to repair JPR's $4000 pulse rifle after an unattended child picked it up off a table and promptly dropped it three feet onto the concrete slab. He was not amused.
A number of out-of-towners usually come Friday night and stay at one of the local hotels. We always hold a pre-party dinner on Friday night. That is far less hectic than Saturday (which is crazy nuts). There is always a Saturday evening dinner as well. It is always fun to walk into the restaurant and say: "Table for 45 please."
We have even had Sunday brunches for the people who just wouldn't leave...
I think I am qualified to field questions about SD Studios, Master Replicas or QMx. I have had SOME involvement with those companies
I obviously can't discuss any proprietary info, but general replica questions are pretty easy to answer.
So...May 23rd?
