I'm still bitter over the Insider mess-up when I moved. I sent them a letter with my new address and send email enquiries but never received the rest of my subscription. Maybe I'll rejoin once the new FC is sorted out.
As for lines, I guess I wouldn't mind them so much if people knew what they were in line for or if staff doesn't suddenly change which enterence people should use so those in line for hours don't all of sudden lose their place.
I don't have too much on line bitching due to the wonderful IK volunteer organizers.

So my advice is...wait your turn, start a conversation with the people around you...you'll have more good memories of Celebration III
This is exactly what I did at C2  I didn't mean to complain all that much in my earlier post. I met lots of cool people while waiting in lines.
It's just sorta disappointing when you go to this huge Star Wars thing and you don't get to do lots of the things you were hoping to. Just trying to prepare the people that didn't go last time

Just thought I would let everyone know that I got the newest Insider today and in the inside it had one of those lovely subscription cards explaining the benefits of membership. The details are:
-Hyperspace access
-6 issues of Insider
-Membership kit
-"Early Admission to Celebration III and a special mebers' lounge"
-Fan Club breakfasts
-Special discounts and exclusive merchandise
So at the very least fan club membership "semi-officially" gives you the same benefits it did for CII. I have heard rumors on this site there there might be even more benefits but as of right know this is all that has come from "the horse's mouth" so to speak.
Just thought I would let every one know in case you were lucky enough to not get any of those annoying subscription cards.

Early Admission to Celebration III and a special mebers' lounge
THe early admission took just the same if not longer sine the FanClub line was so long. They need to have more than two ways to get in this time. And the FanCLub louge was a joke, there wasn't any food in there, it was a empty room.

The fan club is worth it for the Insider subscription alone.
Just once, I wish they would offer the same bloody perks to people who don't live in North America.

Rox: It is good to see that someone else has the same opinion about the Fan Club benefits that I do. In other words they were completely useless.

When I received my lanyard from the Fan Club I received the black one instead of the fan club member one so I had to go find someone who worked at Celebration 2 to exchange me the right one. So I had to bring my receipt of my membership to prove that I was a member. What a pain that was.
And then I later heard you could walk up and just get a membership lanyard...without difficulty..or proof!!!

Well as far as I know you won't just automatically get a lanyard because you are a member of Hyperspace/The Fan Club. You will get your lanyard when you purchase CIII admission which is not yet available to my knowledge.

Are people forgetting that C3 is being run by a totally different organization?
Its being run by the GenCon folks. All they do is run extremely large conventions, and have done so for over 10 years!
This year they are running the gaming convention in the exact same location as C3. So any problems with how to handle crowd control and line-ups and spots to place information signage will be all figured out this year.
Sure there are going to be unexpected problems. You have 40,000 people in one place and tell me there won't be an issue at some point. These people are professionals though, they've already encountered/taken into account the biggest of the hurdles that should happen.
A little faith please.
Now back on topic, with the fanclub changed ownership once again its going to be interesting to see what they plan. I wonder if they even know yet? My guess is Steve Sansweet's talk at the major conventions this summer will reveal some of those ideas.

Hey Zucuss, correct me if I am wrong, but GenCon did NOT run C2. I believe it was Wizards fo the Coast. I have heard great things about GenCon. It sounds like they know what they are doing when it comes to BIG events like a C3! As Woofer said, "a little faith please!" And as for the Fan Club...now that is it back in the hands of Lucasfilm, I hope and prey that they do something really great for the F A N S!! I mean, that is what it's all about, is it not? That is why they do things like C3. However...you can't spell Lucasfilm without Lucas, and we know how he tends to dissapoint. Remember Episode 1? Need I say more? I just hope soemething good will come out of this!!

Gen*Con people did not run C2, but they ran the 2003 Gen*Con, which is what Zuck attended last year in Indy, and they are running the 2004 Gen*Con here in Indy again, then Celebration 3 & yet another Gen*Con in 2005...all at the Indy Convention Center.

I would like to think that after 2 conventions (at Indy Convention Center) that they'll have MOST of the logistical kinks worked out in time for C3...
