FRI 10:00 AM: CELEBRATION: Bracelet Exchange and Photo Ops (1 hour)
Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
Pick up your badge at the ALL-CON Registration desk, then head to the Lakeside Ballroom (excuse me, the ERAS room) to pick up your official ERAS badge at the CELEBRATION check in desk. Once you have your ERAS badge, you gain access to the ERAS room, which has multiple backdrops and interactive props for pic taking of the utmost excellent quality. This is also the most superb time for bracelet exchange! And remember, there are some goodies for the first people who bought tickets both online and onsite – make sure to ask at the CELEBRATION check in desk!
This is a separately ticketed event. ALL-CON attendees may attend this session as a courtesy at no additonal cost until capacity is reached. CELEBRATION badge holders have priority for entry and any materials for the event.

FRI 11:00 AM: CELEBRATION: Coloring Contest x2 and (continued) Photo Ops (1 hour)
Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
Show us your colors! We will host 2 coloring contests this hour. One will be for ages 12 and under, and for those 13+ we will have a TIMED Coloring Contest! We supply the pages, the concept, and some crayons, and YOU supply the talent. One winner will be chosen from each category (12 and under, 13+). If you're not feeling a contest, feel free to color as you will, and this will also leave plenty of time for those late check-ins (we understand if you needed another latte), meet n' greets, backdrop selfies, and bracelet exchange, so there's plenty to do!

FRI Noon: CELEBRATION: Faster Than a Getaway Car (45 mins.)
Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
This is team building (ERA building?) hour, wherein everyone will sit with their ERAs group and we will circulate through several popular games (think: emojis, gossip, song titles, etc.) lightning fast. Each game will be timed and whomever gets the most correct in that amount of time, is the ERA who reigns supreme (we all know we think ours is best, be honest). Who do you think will win?

FRI 1:00 PM: CELEBRATION: Poloroid Scavenger Hunt (1 hr. 45 mins.)
Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
Scattered around the hotel (in what is considered “Con Space”), there will be mini-Polaroids just waiting to be found. Snap a photo of each pic where you find it, and when you think you've found them all, post your favorite one on Insta and tag @allcondfw with #1989. We will select one winner from that tag line, and if you have photo receipts of all the correct pics, you are our winner and you get a special prize!

FRI 2:00 PM: CELEBRATION: It's Just A Question - Trivia Hour (45 mins.)
Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
Your ERAs group will be your home base for this one. Trivia questions will be asked out loud to one ERA group at a time. That ERA will briefly collaborate and provide an answer. If that ERA misses, the question goes to the next ERA in time for answering. If that ERA also misses, it goes around until the question is answered! Then we start back in order of the albums, where we left off. This way there is an equal number of questions per ERA, so any ERA can win! Trivia will be a mix of easy, medium, and difficult questions so everyone will have an opportunity to participate!

SAT 9:00 AM: CELEBRATION: Bracelets and Little Brekkie Social (1 hour)
Room: ELSEWHERE Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
An informal meetup for those early risers who want a little (or a lotta) latte or noms before the games begin in the ERAS ballroom. There's several areas to sit with caffeine and protein (bars), or you can reserve a space in the hotel restaurant for hot Brekkie, should you desire it. This is also a time for check in for day #2! You're sure to find your fellow compatriots in the Lobby of the hotel, by front desk. Take this time to make friends and exchange those bracelets before the official games begin, because as soon as the ERAS room opens, the Catwalk is LIVE.

SAT 11:00 AM: CELEBRATION: In My Best Dress, Fearless (1 hour)
Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
Each ERAs group will design and construct a perfect look for our favorite rockstar, complete with creating and coloring up a backstage ''set'' for their Era. Once you've prepped your finest, presentations will be made and judges will decide the best dressed winner. Fabric scrap materials, partial outfits, and crafty things will be made available to each ERAS team, but just to make it more fun and a little wild: If you really want to wow the judges and dominate this contest, you are allowed to bring ONE singular gallon sized baggie full of craft scraps (glue dots, material, sequins, lace, strands of pearls, whatever you think Blondie would look good in for that ERA... etc.). You may also share what you brought with other ERAS teams. Please note, we cannot allow hot glue guns or anything that plugs in, because we already have enough fire in our blood, we don't want fire on the tables or carpet. Again: each attendee is limited to one baggie, otherwise we'll be up to our ears in fabric.

SAT 1:00 PM: CELEBRATION: X Marks the Spot (1 hour)
Room: ELSEWHERE Rated: Everyone
Produced By: Celebration and Dance Party
3 events, one place, one hour! X1: ERAS PHOTOS: Each ERA is going to have a few minutes to shine in a group photo session in the Lobby, where we have room to stretch out, be silly, and be SEEN! X2: PUNCH CARD: While waiting for your ERA group photo, fill up your ERAS card with sigs from peeps from all the other Eras, and use this as another chance to swap those bracelets. X3: SWAP MEET: If you have any special merch or swag that you're interested in swapping, now is the time to bring it down and get to work! We ALL know how difficult it can be to get that ONE version of that CD or Vinyl that we are after…or you were looking for the gold bracelet, not the silver one…or maybe your #cardigan is just a little off on sizing (whose isn't, honestly). See if you have any luck onsite swapping with your fellow compatriots. They may also know someone who has just what you're looking for, or introduce you to some good sites or groups, too! There will be no explanation, just collaboration.

Room: LAKESIDE BALLROOM (Lake Level) Rated: Everyone

ERAS room closes, and prizes are fully distributed. After you recover and have some caffeine, don't despair, because you still have a badge for Saturday and you are welcome to spend as much time as you like checking out the rest of the ALL-CON convention on Saturday. Your badge will get you into any room with ALL-CON on the door. BIG BONUS: For those who are fans of the 1986 movie LABYRINTH (with David Bowie, and Muppets!), there will be an interactive showing of the film and a masquerade themed ball called “A Court of Dreams and Goblins” on Saturday night! Also: If you like what you see at ALL-CON on Saturday, you can also upgrade your ticket at the Registration desk for Sunday as well. Ask a CELEBRATION volunteer for more info onsite!
