What's happening on Friday ?
 

I know the dealer room is open Saturday & Sunday but what happens on Friday July 15th ?

I've only been once last year and I know they had the pre-registration pick up and the charity auction. I'm sure there are get togethers as well

Re: What's happening on Friday ?
 

The schedule from last year is still up:

FRIDAY (dealer room is not open to public)
9am: Customizing Class – South Studio 3
6pm-8pm: Attendee Registration – Graydon Foyer
6:30pm: GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords Screening – Hazel McCallion ABCD
8pm: Opening ceremony – Hazel McCallion ABCD
8:15pm: Charity Auction for Make A Wish Canada with guest host John Moschitta Jr – Hazel McCallion ABCD
10pm: Karaoke Night 19+ – Quest Bar

I expect this year to be similar (Minus the Rock Lords movie and John Moschitta Jr., of course.)

Friday is mostly just social stuff.

Dan Gilvezan is hosting the charity auction this year.

Hoping the schedule comes out soon so we can see what's up this year.

Hey bro,
Friday consists of Registration, and then the Opening Ceremonies, and then the Charity Auction.

I gotta say, the charity auction has become one of my Favourite parts of TFcon!!

It's so exciting to be in that room and whiteness it, and if you're bidding on something, its even better.

Ian does an incredible job every year, and he brings the comedy too, and with Dan (G1 bumblebee as the guest host) its gonna be incredible!

Plus, you can get stuff super cheap there... I saw a hercules go for $180 last year!

Re: What's happening on Friday ?
 

as usual, i will be having my annual TFCON friday night parts party in my room. I don't know the room now but ill post it on my sales page when i find out.

Re: What's happening on Friday ?
 

Can anyone come to this or do you need a ticket?

- 8:15 pm: Charity Auction for Make A Wish Canada with guest host Dan Gilvezan – Hazel McCallion ABCD

Re: What's happening on Friday ?
 

I look forward to Saturday nights party. Guber! Guber! Guber! The heart of the TFcon festivities Guber! Guber! Guber! Although if he is there, friday nights party will be just as awesome Guber! Guber! Guber!

Re: What's happening on Friday ?
 

Is the charity auction on Friday the same as the silent auction on saturday, or are they both separate auctions that ends on their respective days?
So if I am not there on Friday, then I will miss out on the Charity auction?
