Starwars.com announced CIV today. I am happy they are having one, but LA, now I do not know if I will go.


This is quite a bummer.

I agree with the bummer thing! I wish that I would have gone last year. sad Maybe if they ever have another, it will come back closer.

Umm take it from someone with a tch of inside knowledge. Expect LA as the location for awhile. Best attitude to take is figure out a budget and decide if you can go.

I have heard the rumors for awhile as well and I just hoped it would be within drving distance (also I have relatives in Indainapolis, so it was a perfect location). I am going (If nothing bad happens in the next year), now I need to decide on the mode of transportation, airplane or train. Both have benifits and disadvantages.

Hope to see many of you there as well

dl - Perhaps you could check a local fabric store or search for a quality one being sold online at a reasonable price.

Ok, I'v just found out that there is a costume competition in less than three weeks that I want to take part in. I have to make an 1870's ensemble before that. I'm a bit worried about being able to make it in this short time, and with hardly any money.
