Celebration 4 was the worst convention I ever attended!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody knew jack **** about what was goin on or where anything was, it was very dissapointing, dont get me wrong, I wouldnt trade the experience for anything, but will NEVER do it again, christ, comic con is 10 times better then that peice of **** was!!!!!!!! On top of that, I tried to enter the costume pagent on the 25th but they said too many people had entered and they closed it off, B.S. Tell me why they will allow a guy wearing blue jeans and a **** bathrob to be in as a jedi but not a $1500 mandalorian costume that probably woulda won best of show!!!
Overall, it was NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!! But my kids loved it and I really cant complain, too much, but I will say that the entire celebration 4 seemed as though it was slapped together that week. It was ****!!!
P.S. if anybody knows where I can find photos from C-4 I would love a link , my camera ran outta film half way through

Why do you want photos of a convention that you just said you hated.

Yeah, i hated the convention, but you know i really did love it as a star wars fan, I dressed my nephew 4yo in a mandalorian costume that is kinda kick as and like I said, ran outta film, so if anybody snapped a red mandalorion on the 25th, I'd love for you to share the photo, also, the costume is for sale if anybody wants it. Oh yeah, there charging 20 bucks for jeremy bullocks autograph, RIP OFF, his autograph isnt worth the paper it's written on, no offence, I love the guy, but he really is nobody, an autographed toy of his woudlnt go for more then $15 bucks what gives??

I have been to 3 Celebration, and many Comic-Con, and I can tell you that you are sorely mistaken about Celebration being Horrible. Sounds like you are just a whiner who complains about comic-con every year as well. Whah-Whah-Whah!!!! What a baby.

Large numbers of the people that do autograph halls like this do so because for them this is about the only way that they can make a decent living now, or use it as a way to be able to get the capital for other ventures that are not completely appealing to those that fund projects.
As to not knowing where anything is, there was this little white booklet available that had the program, a map and useful descriptions in it. There were also large maps spread around the entire CC. On top, the schedule had been released a week beforehand on TOS for people to start planning. If you tried asking the people in red jackets where things were, they wouldn't know as they were there purely for security, it was the people in blue shirts that said "Crew" that you needed to ask. Hell, this was my first time in the states, and I had not a single problem getting around the con, finding where anything was or knowing what was on when.

P.S. I am sorry for my grouchyness, but can anybody understand where it is I am coming from??? I walked around the entire convention in one hour, it usually takes me 6 hours + to see everything in a day at comic con, here, saw it all in an hour, sorry for being a **** head guys, I was just dissapointed by there schedualing and lack of info on how things went.
Can't say that.

The Jacketed guys, as Dingo so eloquently pointed out, were outside security.
I had to find things during the convention - fellow fans were always happy to help.
Autographs, like any other 'collectibles' are worth what you want to pay for it. I didn't want to pay 40$ for Tony Daniels (I did get one as a nice thank you bonus) so I didn't. They HAVE "real Jobs" - they acted in a film and helped tell a story which we all have loved over the years. Now, they get a little extra on the side doing meet and greets and sigs...
Sometimes they'll sign for a song too!
Tim gave me his sign because I did!

yeah, dude, SECURITY didnt know anything either, I'm tellin yeah, NOBODY, Not even the costumed fans, but what really sucks is that one lil kid who loves c-3po and has to spend 30 bucks for hs autograph because the older guys are sellin it online, not worth it, but I do agree, an autograph is worth what you want of it.

It was in the room 409 Foyer, and I didn't even bother with it as I don't costume so it's not like it was hard info to find. Secondly, the pageant had been announced months ago, and 99% of the people in it had pre-registered. From what I was told (second hand info, not reliable) you had to get there by 4pm to confirm your registration and then those that got in otherwise were because of people that had backed out.
And I'm not even going to try to set you straight on celebrity autographs. There are good reasons for both charging and not charging, but in the end it comes down to a single fact that there is no right for them to give it to you.

Very very true on the autograph thingy, but yeah, I know many people pre-registered for the pagent, but it really was put together poorly, I couldnt pre-register online so I had to do it there and even the online info was very little, hmmm, why couldnt celerbration 4 have had a website before hand, maybe an idea for celebration 5.
P.S. yeah, it was impossibel to find, I asked about 20 fans and over 30 employees, now tell me why nobody knew ****? It wasnt easy to find!!!
