Well we have things arraigned with The Red Cross for the blood drive. We also will be asking for food donations to give to the local food pantry.
We will also have t-shirts and the INTERFANthology though not published by the time of the show will have an ashcan represented. This in conjunction with the INTER-FAN Fandom Hall of Fame presentation to the Alan Hanley family for his great work for Fandom back in the 60's and 70's. Jim Engel, Russ Maheras and Doug Rice will be there. we will also have a display of his art and books. trying to get a hold of other of Alan's friends but no response yet.
We are also planning on having a silent auction of which the funds will go to Alex Nino (though unbeknown to him), as he is in somewhat financial straights and we feel he has given alot to comics and Fandom. If you know any pros who would like to contribute art or scripts or anything please let me know.
Talked to OT at The Zone Coimcs and they will have magic at the shop and Yu-Gi-Oh at The Jam from 12-6.though this is still in discussion. Will also have HeroClix.
OT will be doing Blood Pressures at the Star Trek Table with USS Chicago NCC 75011. He is the Medical Officer for the chapter.
OT also received a flyer from Brad Meltzer author of Identity Crisis and JLA about him doing a signing on Sept 8th in Chicago. we want to contact him to ask if he would want to come to the JAM. can't make any promises.
The Zone will doing a Comic Code Taping at the Event, and I believe Rod from Kiss-Me-Comix will be taping as well.
So far this is who we have so far though may have some last minute add-ons.
