Here’s a receap of last night’s Halcy-Con LIVE!
Galactic Starcruiser Superfans it is SEPTEMBER and only thirty-three (33) days to HALCY-CON! We did a little math and, do you realize our first Live for Halcy-Con was 294 days ago!?! That’s how long this Team has been planning and WOW are you all in for it!
We’ve got LOTS to share – some really exciting stuff in the coming weeks! Martin just did an on-site visit recently at the venue with our local team members and things are really taking shape – assets are being delivered and we’ve had to set up a storage unit. (Does that mean we have an address in FL? I mean, we practically live there…).
But enough of the chit chat; let’s get to the fun stuff.
There are going to be TONS of updates over the next few weeks and the best way to keep up with them is the Halcy-Con website. Not only can you stay linked with all of the news as it comes out, but it’s easier to find any info you may have missed.
The Halcy-Con App
We have a Halcy-Con App! You can find all the details here (or by using the menu: Plan Your Visit > Get the App). Use the email address you used to buy your badge and log in today! Once we get closer to Halcy-Con, the App will include floor maps,a Vendor list with locations, a full list of the programming agenda – along with the ability to save your favorites and build your own schedule and much more! The app will also allow us to send updates and event information to you during the event!
Overview Schedule
The General schedule has been released! It may look very familiar to a scheduled you’ve seen in the past – vague – but only for now…
Full Directory of all the Artists & Makers
The vendor rooms have been announced. In fact, we’ve just published a full directory of all the makers and artists attending Halcy-Con.
Smugglers Wanted…
We’re introducing a bit of a fun activity within the artists and makers vendor rooms. The Hayananeya Stone will be hidden in plain site. If you find it, whisper a secret phrase to the vendor and they will give you further instructions. Check out this PDF for more info.
Lightsaber Training
Here are a few announcements about Lightsaber training: the most requested activity at Halcy-Con.
First off, Lightsaber training now has it’s own special room, and will be hosted by several different trainers and training sessions. Please note that all training must use our provided sabers. For safety purposes you’ll need to use one of our provided sabers. You can definitely use your own lightsaber for a photo-op only.
Food, Glorious Food
The hotel does have their own Starbucks and even a small Pizza Hut. They also have a buffet breakfast. There are also plenty of quick meal delivery services to, since the area around the hotel is quite busy For lunch, there will be several options for purchase. The menu should be finalized this week.
