After the panel discussion, we will be holding a special autograph session for our Premium and Corporate Members.

There are only 100 tickets remaining for the autograph session. Only items purchased from our on-site gift store will be signed by the VIPs during this event.
Coolness! We have already ordered the tickets to the discussion and they said they would be mailed although they haven't yet arrived. Should we reserve seating for the movies, or do you think there will be plenty? We are coming in from out of town for the whole celebration (it is my space-crazy son's 14th birthday present) and don't want to miss a minute!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois...
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad you're coming to visit!
The events seem to be very popular, so I would suggest you go ahead and buy your seats for the movies. We expect they may all sell out. It's hard to guess, but we're basing that on the other events for this anniversary.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
