Me first:

Thanks to the volunteer that gave me money for lunch.

Thanks to Elysia for going to the hotel to lug my 200 lb. suitcase with her, and for taking me to the airport.

Thanks to Jason from DC, for the bottled water, and "debates".

Thanks to Matt Stover, JW Rinzler, and most of all Rick McCallum, for being so damn cool. You made the convention for me.

Thanks to all the nice people I waited in line with.

Thanks to Darren for being honest and letting me have another poster, after your booth overcharged me. I appreciated that.

Thanks to the guys at the official pictures booth for the pin, and the girl that took a picture of Rick Mc and I, and thanks to the rep from DelRey who took my pictures witht the above authors. You guys were great, and Borders, too, for having you.

Thanks to Rena Owens and Kenny Baker, who were so nice.

Thanks to all the people that came and stood in line in rain/sleet/snow/wind/cold, and in costume. You blew people away with your stuff.

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the casts of the SW Musical and SW in 30. Lord, you guys were fun!

I would like to thank Ignant for buying me a shot at Jillian's.


I would like to thank Typho for hooking me up with two C3 figures from the store.


Finally, I would like to thank all of those wonderful people who made my wait in line to see Lucas all the more pleasant, some get more thanks than others.



Edit: I couldn't forget to thank Spike for sending me all of those wonderful Puerto Rican treats. I'll be anxiously awaiting my bottle of Puetro Rican rum in the meantime.

Thanks to everyone. It was a unique experience and I have never seen so many nice, polite, and overall fun to be around people.

With as many people that showed up, it could have easily gotten ugly at several points with the long lines, but no riots broke out and the convention people seemed to resolve a lot of those problems as the weekend went on.

ok: here goes

Fate Naberrie and -_-_-_-_- for waiting in line all freaken night with me to see George Lucas. It was painful but one of the best experiences of my life.


Everyone (although many of you didn't show) who did show up at the Courtyard Marriot dinner. happy


Rick McCallum and the C3 security team for being kind and understanding about the fact that I accidentally kept the camera running once the 10 minute E3 clip began.


Everyone who showed up at Jillians the first night. It was freaken awesome putting faces to everyone.


Garrick Hagon for taking 20 minutes out of his signing to talk with me about his career as an actor.


Ralph Brown for giving me the best laugh of the convention when he realized there was a mountain dew can with his face on it.


All the other fantastic JCers I got to meet.

And finally, 2 honorable mentions here:


Jay Laga'aia for doing a fantastic job hosting and making a fan's dream come true by coming into the autograph area for an hour on Friday.


and finally -_-_-_-_- for being the best friend in the whole world while at the con. It really would have been a duller time without anyone to hang out with during the con.

To answer Typho's question from January, we have not banned his account. Murder is not a bannable offense here on TFN.

Right now, you wanna go out and kill like ten guys, you can still post here, long as ya don't say naughty words.-Adam Bertocci

I tried to show up fashionably late to that dinner (couldn't miss SW in 30) and no one was there!

There were alot of strangers that I wish I could thank, but one guy in particular. I know he is a user here on the boards although he is a 'rare poster' from his own words. Still, I hope someday he somehow finds this so he can hear my thanks.

While we were waiting in line for Lucas, this line did everything to help us out, including sharing his chairs, his sleeping bag (which was subsequently ruined in an attempt to help us out) and then eventually buying a tarp to share with us all. His purchase of the tarp is probably what saved me from getting seriously sick, and his encouragement and company kept me in line. Whoever you are, thank you, so incredibly much.

Also, I'd like to thank the random guy (perhaps a user, perhaps not) who helped me out when my backpack spilled on the ground. A lot of people laughed, but this guy was quick to help me and get my stuff together. I've got hundreds of other little stories like that over just those short little days... I just felt it necesarry to thanks to those people. Star Wars fans really can be great people.
