It's great to see that everyone's CIV planning is just about finished. Kudos to everyone and their Star Wars diligence!

Man, we are in for one heck of a great time in LA... applause

Puppies born. Start getting deposits on them in about 4 weeks... sell them prior to C-IV and I don't have to worry about spending cash! Of course, I know I'll end up keeping at least one those sweet things!

Plane ticket, 4-day convention pass, Carrie Fisher autograph session ticket and round-trip Super Shuttle reservation (for LA only) - done. I have hotel reservations but I'm still saving for that, as well as spending money, food money, an LA tour, maybe Disneyland and maybe a trip to Venice Beach. But I might not be able to afford all these tours financially or timewise.

I've thought about going to that place ... I saw on a website somewhere that it was free so I figured why not go check it out ...

Danpa...

It is free and it was featured in the movie Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. I think the Tar Pits would be cool to visit, but I am into that sorta thing. Anything that scientific makes me excited and it does not hurt that it free either. Plus, I wanted to sare something with the kids that they may not see in a long time!!!

Amidala081499,
I think I remember that scene now (I haven't seen that movie in a long time). I'm like yourself, if it's free it can't hurt to go check it out. grin

I finally took the plunge! I've been messing with my schedule for weeks now but tonight I decided to book my airfare to San Diego since Southwest's sale ends tomorrow ($109 one way). I arrive on the 15th. I've made my San Diego and Anaheim arrangements. I need to book a hotel for the few sightseeing days I'll have in LA before C4 begins. Then I need to decide if I'm going to San Francisco before I make it to Vegas. I'm running out of funds and I need lots of spending money during C4. I suspect everything is going to be expensive.

Anyway, badge purchased, hotel reserved, flight & Amtrak booked! All I need now is my GenCon & Official Pix schedules.

I'm going to pick up one of those prints this weekend at the CSC. AaS, did you get a signed one?

The pups are only 5 days old and I already have 3 sold! (no, they don't go to the new homes for about 7 more weeks) That's my C-IV cash. YES!
