SAT Noon: Raise Your Shield for Captain AmeriDad - A Celebration of the Life and times of Daniel Calhoun (45 mins.)

Room: AMETHYST (Lobby) Rated: Everyone

Produced By: Half-Ass Productions

The Texas convention, cosplay, and fandom communities lost one of their brightest stars in 2024, Daniel ''Captain AmeriDad'' Calhoun. DeNae Cortez and Chris Clinton invite DFW area friends and fans of Daniel to join them, along with Games and Theory's JediCole, in a memorial and social gathering in his honor.

Participants are encouraged, but not required, to show up in your costume variation of Captain America! There will be a group photo before the close of the event.

What began at Lubbock-Con 2024 continues at ALL-CON this year with a special event to celebrate one of the great ambassadors of the Texas convention scene. This event is part memorial, part social opportunity. Hosts DeNae and Chris will share their memories and invite others in the audience to do likewise. Given the time limitations, speakers are asked to be brief. Like the costume element, this is by no means a requirement if you simply want to enjoy the company of those who love conventions, just like Daniel did for so many years!

Was Captain AmeriDad the highlight of your convention experience over the years? Did he engage you, entertain you, inspire you? Come and share in some special time with those whose lives Daniel touched in his tireless love of conventions and fans.

No convention badge is required to attend this one hour memorial / celebration of Daniel. All friends are welcome to attend and participate.

Speaking: DeNae Cortez; Chris Clinton; Cole Houston
