The re-scheduled Christchurch Armageddon convention is just over 4 weeks away. Are there anyone on these forums looking to head along?

As an exhibitor (and with some good friends in Christchurch), we were really gutted mother nature forced the original one to cancel. As luck would have it, we sadly can't attend the re-scheduled event either due to personal plans :(

Even though this event is well reduced in size and will have no guests present, i reckon it will still be worth a look, and at only $5 to entry it will be a cheap Armageddon! There's not alot happening here in Christchurch in the weekends at the moment so i will be at Addington Raceway that weekend. :2cents:

I hope it goes well for everyone attending, and that the forces of nature that have been causing so much grief ease up for residents and visitors.

Looking forward to seeing photos and hearing details! :)

Already had an earthquake nightmare ;) I have experienced them before (once in Christchurch once in Sydney) but I still do not feel prepared- not with what I have rea about friends going through.

Photos will hopefully be got I know one super adorable character will be making a return :) I have steered them to the parade so I hope that means lots of easily found photos ;)

I've put links to Star Wars-related expo info up on the SWNZ news page - http://swnz.dr-maul.com/index.php#20110701

Close-Up on TV1 tonight will apparently be screening a relevant story (although it may be archived online for later viewing as well: http://tvnz.co.nz/close-up ).
