Received this communicae from the Rebel Legion Command:
Hello all,
By know, I expect everyone to have heard the official word from LFL that C4 will be next year, Memorial Day weekend, In Los Angeles, California.
Now, reactions have been across the range. From happiness, to disappointment. I understand it all.
For those of us, Myself included, on the east coast, this is a long trip for us. But just as long, or admittedly longer then the trip people on the west coast has had for the last 2 Celebrations.
There is no magical point the con could be held that would make everyone happy. Although everyone is allowed to express disappointment, please try to keep in focus here, whether you are going or can go, this is going to be a huge event for the rebel legion as a whole. Please try not to make negative comment that can be taken wrong by members of the host base. (I realize no one is trying to make them feel bad, just venting fustration, but it does happen)
Now, As to what we as a legion will be working towards. I won't go into specifics, cause it is way too early in the planning to promise anythign other then we will be there and involved. WE have appointed a RL - LFL/GenCon Rep,Donna Keeley, Sunrider Base CO. She will take the lead in talking to the Con organizers for the Legion and Has also volunteered to lead the RL Volunteer group (there will be a internal volunteer organization and we will work in conjunction with the 501st and Jedi Assembly. I have been in contact with the 501st LCO and we agree that the best way to proceed is to work together. And to make sure no one person burns themselves out doing too much. We will all have a role to play in making this turn out great for everyone.
In that train of thought, I'd like to point out the C4 suggestion thread Donna has opened. (has been open for a while, and some great suggestions have come through already) I ask everyone to voice any suggestions you have. be positive, don't gripe about anyone else's suggestions, and if you don't agree, do so in a logical manner. point out the flaws, and see what can be done to fix the flaws.
I can tell you that the Legion Council has been thinking about this for the last few months. We have some ideas and I'd like to announce one now. (post will be made to the forums later today)
For C3, LFL "suggested" that we not use the official C4 logto in any merchandise or legion badges. I'm sure the same thing will happen this year when the officvial logo is announced. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone in the legion who has any artistic ability to design the "Official Rebel Legion C4 Logo" I won't give any guidelines, other then it will be ours and ours alone. It will be
used for any merchandise we produce for the Con, Patches, Shirts, stickers, and the con badges.
Submissions will be taken for the next month & a half, and then we'll organize the entries, pick the top 10 (assuming there are that many) and hold the final vote to coincide with the Legion
elections. By Oct we will have the Logo and move on the merchandise. (If we can do it faster, I'm all for it, this is a preliminary schedual)
We will have a table, we will have a group picture. Detachement pics are more then encouraged. (Starfighter Command will have one, and I would hope the fledgling Smugglers group will as well) We have a lead on a photog for the pic, and will post more info later.
I know I'll be at C4, and I hope to get to see most of you as well
