It&#8217;s the closest to me. As I&#8217;m a known Halo blogger, I hope to be granted a Press Pass for the event. I&#8217;d love to have a booth there, but prices are $1000 for the smallest one at 10x10ft. No word on if that&#8217;s per day or for the whole 3 days. Either way, I can&#8217;t afford it&#8230; However, I&#8217;ll be taking TONS of pics and will be podcasting from there as well. I also hope to host a panel on collecting Halo. So HFFL will definitely have a presence there!<\/p>\n<p>Go to the official site for more info, tickets, dates\/times as show floor layout for each location!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/halooutpostdiscovery.com\">https:\/\/halooutpostdiscovery.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some BIG news dropped last night. 343 is bringing Halo to YOU!
