	I was driving around southside of Indy during memorial day weekend and the hotels/motels were were not full like they were in the past. The Indy 500 ran that weekend. Yet the Speedway stands were full. I think they were saying that most people were coming for the race on race day and then leaving. I don't think Indy would have any trouble hosting a Star Wars Celebration during that weekend. It is only another 30,000 fans. I assume the recession will be worse and still going. With Chrysler and GM heading towards bankruptcy alot more people are losing their jobs. I just got fired yesterday from my grocery store.

	Ok...I have to share this embarrassment! We ate the cake, but we shared my slice and the kids got to eat theirs. However, my hubby's slice will be forever saved. We actually kept his slice in a ziplock bag and we froze it in our hotel freezer area in our fridge. Then, after C4 we visited family in California, so we transported the cake to her house and placed it in her freezer. Then as we left we put it in a safe place in my carry-on. So...In our freezer right now...is forever safe in carbonite...lol...a piece of the Star Wars Cake. Now...tell me we are not fanatics...lol. Ok, done embarrassing myself now! -----signature----- "Don't let your past dictate who you are, but who you will become." -- Gandalf -- LOTR : FOTR "We are not humans having a spiritual experience, but rather spirits having a human experience."

	Connie - isn't that what everyone does with a piece of "memorial cake?" LOL Think of the thousands of pieces of wedding cake ensconced in someone's freezer! But yours is extra-special, as we all know. Sorry to hear that you've lost your job, Joe. Now we have a real reason for a Celebration announcement, something to cheer everyone up. -----signature----- L.A.

	What about that one dude who stuck his cake in resin and tried to sell it on Ebay? I ate mine, though sitting in the back it took a while to get to me. Memories taste better than material. I know about the job thing. I'm technically still employed, but it being an individual and not a company, it's on and off. Plus it's temporary (I'm landscaping someone's backyard and, when I can, their front yard.) Yesterday I got to work for the first time since March. I've been putting out applications, but no go so far. -----signature----- Member of The Jedi Assembly 'Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow' -Norman Vincent Peale

	I have recently heard there will not be a CV.... KIDDING! Just wanted some faces of shock and dismay followed by some form of "Whew" feelings LOL As long as the celebrations make money I don't see any reason to end them. So get ready for an announcement! -----signature----- I am now part of the 501st! TA 2783 http://groups.myspace.com/celebration4 http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.cfm?costumeID=5&userID=7490

	I don't know what profit the previous Celebrations have made. The last one generated a lawsuit which is probably still hung up in court since those kinds of things tend to drag on for years. For LucasFilm, the goal of Celebration is publicity anyway. I would look for the economy to get better or the unemployment rate to go down before any plans or announcements come out for another Celebration. There's not much point in having one if too many people just can't afford to go. -----signature----- Links to all fics -- http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=25405090&brd=10304&start=26223917 The Heart of the Jedi -- http://boards.theforce.net/b/b1/26013327 ---- Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, JA and everything you wanted to know about lightsabers

I looked into what was going on with the lawsuit the other day out of curiosity and found out that LFL had the judge dismiss the suit back in November due to GenCon's bankruptcy and reorganization, so something was being worked out.

Trust me, people ARE traveling more (my aching fingers are proof of this) and there will always be people who can go/can't go. They may not spend as much on 'stuff' (as evident by the massive sales at the c4 store on the last day) and economic hard times don't stop the world. I tried getting tix for a day at comic con - no go - sold OUT.... There will be a C-5, probably as soon as next spring... and it will be a blow out. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/29640754/p1 Dear Tam - an AU post ROTJ story told through the eyes of a child "It's hard, being a Jedi..." - Pem Skywalker Anywhere Is Possible

	I would have to agree about the state of the economy. I don't think the economy will have any bearing on the decision to hold a Celebration. In fact, its probably another reason in favor of having one in the Midwest to make it more accessible for more people (unless you're coming from outside the country). Speaking of which, neither the Indy Convention Center nor the Rosemont in Chicago have any events listed for next Memorial Day weekend.

	You noticed that too, did you, Moff_D? 8-) I agree with the assumption that this will go on. As DB found out, attendance is still going strong for C-C. That's why I never hesitate to order my four day badge well in advance; the chances of it being sold out are too great. Obviously there will be changes in how the attending companies and vendors do their work. Lucasfilm, for instance -- no Star Wars Shop this year. The cost of moving all that gear played a big decision in that. Celebration is special, as we all know. So finding a way to have it take place is extremely important. I'm pretty sure they're working on that. -----signature----- L.A. FF board: http://tinyurl.com/gdqgk C-IV board: http://tinyurl.com/h7qub My latest fanfic: http://tinyurl.com/lx5ej
