Event Details
Many thought that RCW 139: Duesers' Day Off couldn't be any better than RCW 139: Toronto Holiday in 2008. Well, we were happy to prove you wrong, and intend to keep improving for 2012. We're hoping to bring in some new events and new content - and hopefully, new guests and new attendees. We also need your help to come up with new and innovative events - so don't hesitate to get in touch! This page will be updated as the convention approaches and event details get finalized. Here's some of what you can expect:
- Meet and Greet - The first formal get-together of the convention, yummy snacks and drinks will be provided. Similar to last year, we're also hoping to have attendance by some of the guests. Note that will improve the menu from last year to eliminate packaged foods and return to a spread of fresh items. Separately ticketed event.
- Gala Dinner - The seventh RCW 139 gala dinner! A formal dinner in a special setting, with some special people. This will include the 3rd RCW 139 group picture! Always a good time and you never know what can happen - just think back to the mischief of 2008 with David and Catherine, and to Ramona and Tom's "kids" in 2010! Separately ticketed event.
- Saturday Morning Event - We're hoping once again to take you out of the hotel and into Toronto on Saturday morning. In 2008, we held a bus tour of filming locations. In 2010, we had breakfast at the Patrician Grill. What will we do for 2012? Please send us your suggestions!
- Due South Jeopardy! II - Due South Jeopardy! was one of the simplest yet most fun events of the 2010 convention. Guess what? It's coming back for 2012!
- Due South Props Exhibition - Come see in person some original items used during the filming of Due South... like Ray Vecchio's badge, the original "Smoking Kills" matchbook from Chicago Holiday, and fittingly, the RCW 139 license plate... and many other items!
- Scavenger Hunt - Yes, there will be a scavenger hunt once again... although perhaps not quite as you expect it! More details will follow in the summer of 2012.
- Due South Episode Viewing - Yes, we will do this again. It was unforgettable to watch some of our favourite Due South episodes on the big screen, in the company of other Duesers.
- Kitkat Tasting Contest - A tradition from previous RCWs. Who doesn't like chocolate anyways?
- Guest Panels - We're inviting guests again this year! Too early to tell who might show up...
- Charity Auction - The charity auctions from 2008 and 2010 raised over $7700 for five extremely worthy causes. Some great items were auctioned off, including autographed scripts, Ramona Milano's cast jacket, and some very rare pictures. Expect even more awesome stuff this year, and more great causes to support.
Have suggestions for other events? Want to help run these events? Send an e-mail to info@rcw139.org! Please note, once again, that the events and the schedule may change based upon availability and commitments.
Naturally, just as important as the official events are the unscheduled, impromptu gatherings, room parties, dinners, and meetings with new or old friends...
