Well guys and gals, looks like our fears have come true: FanBoys has in fact been pushed back (as well as TFU). I checked multiple theater listings here in NY, and none of them have showings for FanBoys today.
Bummer.

A friend from out here in L.A. saw Fanboys last night. He said it's not finished yet, and apparently, one of the best parts that's in the trailer has been taken out. My friend said he hoped the bit gets put back in, because apparently it explains a lot and now the movie seems to be missing something!

Hi Everyone...
<sniff> <sniff> So not fair...
Oh well, looks like a night out will just have to wait.
Thanks for caring about the hubby and I. We are both doing well, I am still very sore and I refuse to take the pain meds. I am not one who fairs well on painkillers. I dont even like Tylenol...lol. I go to the doc tomorrow for a post-op visit, I hope he free's me to do things again. The hubby is great, no problems. He has a few patches of hair missing on his head where they took out the cysts...I call him "Patches"...lol. But, no fear, because of the Laprascopy I had, I have a few small incisions, one inside my belly button and two more below. He calls me "Frankenbelly"...lol.
Glad to see Lufta is back...YIPPIE...Missed my partner in crime...lol. Happy Smurfday to you sweetie!!! MTFBWY
Hugs,
Connie

Hey Helen -- any updates on the new hotel and shopping area being built across from the LA Convention Center? Last time this was discussed, I believe it was mentioned that the construction would be completed by late 2008 (but I cannot remember if this is accurate or not).
Thanks!

Nokia Theatre is up and running and going great guns. This is what is due to open by 10/08:
ESPN's West coast broadcast headquarters
12 restaurants including ESPN Zone, Katsuya, Yard House, The Farm of Beverly Hills, Rosa Mexicano, Flemings, a new Wolfgang Puck concept, Starbucks
The GRAMMY® Museum
Club NOKIA
The Conga Room
Lucky Strike Bowling, the broadcast studio and the corporate office space
2000 additional parking spaces
Unfortunately the hotels are not due to be completed until late 2009/early 2010. But at least in 2009 there will be someplace to get something to eat  .
I continue to follow the downtown L.A. blogs, which are a wealth of info.
And just FYI, for those who might of stayed there: the New Otani has undergone a (supposed) upgrade and is now called the Kyoto Grand Hotel.

Well at least we'll have a place to do the Conga. Just in case anyone felt the need. Although I can picture a Jar Jar conga line somehow....

Thanks for the news, Helen.
The added restaurants will definitely be welcomed for C5. Though I really didn't think finding places to eat was too difficult at C4, even considering the food sold at the convention. While it was pricey, at least there was some variety and you could select from more than just greasy burgers and hotdogs. We had mostly salads and wraps during the convention in addition to the snack bars we packed.
The convenient store Famima's right down the block was great and had lots to choose from - even fresh fruit.
Denny's being closed certainly didn't help though. The hotel that we stayed at for C3 had a Denny's in the same parking lot. So we hoping to hit it up again at C4.

Love it...Thanks Helen for all the info. It would be nice to have some other places to eat while there, if in fact C5 is in LA. Any word on that as of yet Helen? OR Any news about C5 at all? We need a bone here, chomping on the last bits and pieces the Rancor left for us...lol.
Hugs.
Connie
PS...Justin...Just got a new auction of SW Ornaments...swell looking, thanks for getting me started on a new hobby!!!
YIPPIE!!!

Haven't heard a word that's from an unimpeachable source, as it were. I've just been kinda hanging out to see if we'd hear anything officially. Time to do some unofficial digging .

Connie -- that's awesome! Soon you will have a collection of SW Christmas ornaments that rivals Master Yoda's collection! 
I am still trying to find the Kurt Adler Jawa holiday figure to complete my collection of fabriche figures. I've seen the Jawa listed on eBay, but the auction prices were getting too steep for my taste, especially since I know it retails for under $20 at Target where I purchased all of the other figures in the past. Oh well, I just have to keep my fingers crossed that a reasonable auction listing comes around before this Christmas.
This is just my opinion, but my bet says we hear the first official C5 announcement sometime this summer. I certainly hope it comes sooner, but that would be the timeframe I would sort of expect.
C5 cannot come fast enough...

Hey Justin...Is that the Hallmark Jawa Figure you are looking for? If so, I will check my Hallmark here for you, they have a mess of Star Wars ornaments on clearance. Let me know and we can work out the details.\
C5 "You sunk my Star Destroyer" ... lol
