Final Thoughts:
This is an event adjacent with the Midwest's charity partner of choice for Extra Life, Lurie Children’s over the last several years! It is a one day event, and we are still getting details on our level of involvement here! We are paying 250$ for a booth space which will net us:

- 4 T-Shirts ( More at event )
- Electricity w/ a double booth space (approx 20x20)
- $250.00 is a direct donation to the hospital!
- Food for the day, and additional coverage for up to 8 people total!

I am also planning to bring two TV's if possible, and if we can plan to bring some controllers and an Xbox or two we can run Infinite at the booth. I may also bring a table and Flashpoint to also play! We will want to figure out what we want the booth to look like then! Since it is such a short event too we don't need to go nuts, if we wanna keep it lower key and just have a table or two of flashpoint and our info booth with photoshoot, that's cool too!

Tenative, these smaller 405th events definitely get my attention and I gotta see if ill be able to make this one happen
 
Just double checking here if there has been any changes in folks attendance. What I plan to do is pay the 250$ required to get us a booth with electricity that we can have a backdrop, info table, and potentially run Halo Infinite 1v1's at as well as Halo Flashpoint for guests at the event. They will allow up to 8 of us then to come with tickets covered under that cost and T-shirts/food for the day. They do ask with us providing folks they would LOVE if we have some cosplay there/unique experience we can provide which I think we are easily making happen.
 
Putting it official, Mark me as BOG. If were getting a booth id love to follow N8te's advice and play as an in universe recruiter with my CE Marine. Since this is a children's event, do we want a helmet or 2 we can let the kids and other attendees wear? I have a couple disguise helmets that would be really easy to disinfect between wearers.
