THE BIGGEST BENELUX CONVENTION
MAGAZINE 2015
Useful information while you’re at FACTS LOST SOMETHING? Go to the lost-and-found at the police office close to the entrance of Hall 1. We’ll keep it safe for a few days, before we feed it to Jabba the Hutt. BOUGHT A BOOTLEG? Damn! Try to point us in the direction of the culprit so we can have them removed from FACTS. Sadly, we can’t offer a refund or be held responsible for it though. WEAPON RULES Weapons that go with your Cosplay costume are allowed under certain strict regulations. Read the Weapon Rules thorougly (at our information booth). LOCKERS Lockers to stow away your belongings (or your recently purchased gems) are available at the entrance.
WELCOME to FACTS Hi,

YE
We’re turning 25. Nitpickers will state correctly that the first edition was only held in 1993, but thanks to two double-edition years, we’re blowing out 25 candles this year already. To everybody that supported us through the years: we love you. We really do. CH ER
We’re celebrating that 25th birthday in good company, by the way. Hubble is doing the same thing after a quarter of a century in space. The fact that the largest telescope in the world hasn’t caught a glimpse of Vulcan or Mab-Bu VI is not surprising. We know our technology still has a way to go. Other things turning 25 this year: The Human Genome Project. Boy, did we think that was science fiction when it started. T-rex Sue was unearthed 25 years ago and The Blackbird flew for the last time. Motorola (remember them?) released a wristwatch pager. Yeah, really. And, IMDB premiered. Nice one, that.

“After 25 editions, we’re no longer newbies. FACTS is bigger, louder and more interesting than ever.” We hope you’ll have a blast. And God knows what we’ll talk about after another 25 episodes.

A WALK THROUGH HISTORY
25 EDITIONS FACTS
1999 In 1999 Richard Leparmentier came to FACTS. With the arrival of Admiral Motti in Ghent, we felt as if we were the centre of some galaxy far far away.
1993 Two tables, forty visitors and some tasty beers in café Het Tonneke in Ghent. We had posters back then, but only thirty. And most were bad copies.
2000
1995
FACTS 2000 saw coloured posters, sponsors and Carl Struycken. We counted 1600 visitors. Compared to today, that’s still peanuts. But to us back then, it was truly memorable. We owe a great deal to those first edition fans. So if that’s you: thanks!
Edition three was the one with the first big screen projection of three Anime movies. We can’t for the life of us remember what they were. But they must have been great because some fifty fans were hooked for hours.

A WALK THROUGH HISTORY
2009 We outgrew the much loved ICC. Only Flanders Expo was large enough to welcome you all.
2015 After 25 editions we’re no longer newbies. FACTS is bigger and more interesting than ever before.
2001 Remember when we had a 1/4 size AT AT in our hallway?

FOOD & DRINKS
FOOD & DRINKS There is no gagh, spoo, popplers or pan-galactic gargle blasters to be found at FACTS. But the food is delicious and you’ll need some after a few hours. Being amazed uses up a lot of proteins.

MARIE & LUIGI
You’ll need some calories to keep you going through the long day. Why not try the father of all hamburgers? The Darth Vader Burger! (They have pizza too!)
2
TROLL’S PLACE
Great beer, the best hot dogs in Ghent and some great pasta salads.

FAST&FRESH ON THE GO
Nasi to go, with great sandwiches for those who are not into Chinese food. But that’s nobody, really.

JABBA’S PLACE
Did you know Tatooine is the only planet where they eat wraps? A strange but tasty habit that you can indulge in here.
7
FAST&FRESH
Your best bet for great sandwiches and focaccia’s. Don’t be put off by the waiting line: it dissolves at warp speed.
MOUNTAIN OF COURAGE
You’ll find Pepsi here, no kidding. And sweet sweet Mountain Dew and all sorts of other drinks. And popcorn and chips and cupcakes!

GOTHAM’S BURGER AND BEER
Fries with burgers and snacks. And beer. Also known as Belgium’s answer to life, the universe and everything.

INDIANA’S HOLY KEBAB
Of course we have kebab and durum. We’ve been told it’s the only thing Chewbacca actually eats.

DRAGON’S FIRE
Barbecue time! If it doesn’t rain on our parade, this is probably the cosiest hangout of the entire Expo. We’ll be there for sure.

COME AND
MEET THE STARS!
Sure, they all play fictional characters. And sure, they are all different in real life. But some of the magic must rub off on them, right?

ARTISTS
ARTIST ALLEY
We’re welcoming more artists than ever before. The world is a real powerhouse of talented comic artists, storytellers ... Do spend some time here and look at the artwork. And when you’re in the mood for a project: get in touch with these fantastic guys and gals. Without their passion, there simply would be no FACTS to go to.

LEGO WITH DIRK DENOYELLE
AARDMAN CLAY MOULDING WORKSHOP
Dirk is one of only thirteen Lego Certified Professionals. He once built all stages of Michael Jackson in Lego, and he now teaches you to build your own FACTS-hero in 3D. It’s a lot harder than it looks, but Dirk is an awesome teacher (with some amazing voice-acting capabilities too).
The studio that gave us Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and the unforgettable Shaun The Sheep shows you how to create a series of scenes using nothing but clay, imagination, patience, great hands, cameras and a million other things. It’s a closed-door, shut-up-andfocus kind of thing, so if you want in, sign up first at facts.be.
booth 7545 booth 7547 FACEPAINTING*
CHARACTER DRAWING WITH GARY ERSKINE Your very own fantasy hero probably already exists. You’ve maybe even created a world around him or her (or it). But you’re lacking the final jump to go from great idea to full-on-blow-readers-away hero. Gary has been at Marvel and Dreamworks. He knows precisely what it takes.

Its contents are subject to change. You know how it works: we had to deliver our files to the printer by Monday. So whatever happened in the past five days never had a chance of making it into these pages. But forgive us. You will, right? For each edition of FACTS we are blessed with a marvellous crew. FACTS would not exist without their devotion and efforts. Also a big thanks to our partners, the management and staff of Artexis easyfairs and the Mothership.
