Hello to all the hitters, hackers, grifters, thieves and masterminds out there. In March 2010 a momentous occasion occurred, the first ever Leverage convention was held in Portland, of at the Governor Hotel which was the setting for the seconde season finale and now we have confirmation ConCon will be happening again. According to the Official Leverage fan Site we all need to mark our calendars for a weekend of fun and excitement June 3-5.
What last jaar was like:
On Thursday evening there was a little event called What The Heck which was an opportunity have a drink and a snack and basically just to hang out and meet some other fans. Thursday night was also the night when people who volunteered to work during the convention were assigned their jobs.
Friday morning was when the excitement of registration began. For those of u who have never been to a convention I’ll tell u now this is one of the three most hectic parts of the weekend, the other two being autographs and foto ops. So since you’ll be standing in line for awhile I suggest u make the most of it door making vrienden with the people around u in line. If you’re shy don’t worry u all have something in common, u love Leverage. Last jaar Friday events were all fan lead since the actors were still filming that dag though they did stop door during the TNT cocktail party that night.
On Saturday the big events were the group discussion and autographs. Now like I zei before the autograph line was hectic and long. This is when everyone wants to talk to the actors so remember to be patient when you’re in line and don’t monopolize the actors time when u finally get to meet them. For people who didn’t purchase any autographs there were still panels going on with Apllo followed door Agents Taggert and McSweeten. Saturday night was also the banquet have live muziek featuring Andy Lange who is well known in the Leverage world for his song Not Sure Yet which was Nate and Sophie’s theme song in season 2.
Sunday was the last dag but was filled with exciting panels starting off with everyone’s favoriete guest ster Mark Sheppard followed door the girls Gina and Beth then the producers panel. After that began the foto ops which were a little confusing at first and no surprise took longer than expected. It was a lot of waiting in line then getting back in line to wait again but in my opinion totally worth it. For anyone not waiting for foto's there was a guest ster panel followed door a writers panel which went on for a couple of hours to give the guys Tim, Aldis and Christian time to finish up and get back for a guys panel. The last official part of ConCon was the closing ceremonies but for anyone sticking around Portland for a little longer Christian had a toon at Danete’s that night which was a great way to finish off the evening.
If u were fortunate to be able to spend an extra dag in Portland u could take the time to do a self guided tour around the city and see some places Leverage filmed on location.
This jaar things are a little different ticket wise but the information is now up on the website: link
Hopefully I covered what u need to know and if not feel free to ask. For those of u who came last jaar I hope to see u all again and for anyone who wasn’t able to attend last year’s convention this is your chance to make up for it.
