Cool! Thanks..yeah I'd love to meet some folks from Houston but really anywhere. I hope I can make lots of friends. So are you going in costume, Danpa_Wamem? I'm thinking about throwing something together for atleast one day. I'm so excited, I really think I can do this.


I'm going to dress-up as a jedi (for atleast 1 day) and wearing Star Wars T-Shirts the rest of the time. My brother-in-law will be dressed as a x-wing pilot. I have a picture of my costume, etc. on myspace.

I'm going. It's my first one. I have to leave early though, on Sunday morning, so I'm hoping there's not some big event at the end.

Dawashindi,
This will be my 1st celebration as well (not my first con, but my 1st BIG con). I'm leaving on Sunday as well, to beat most of the "flight traffic" on the following Monday.

My husband and I are going. This is my second celebration and his first. We'll be staying at the Figueroa, which promises to be an insane time. We aren't dressing up or anything, don't want to bring all that extra stuff. We will be going to LA several days before the festivities to take in some of the sights, and leave Monday afternoon. I can't wait for all this to go down, I just hope we are prepared enough.

Hey there ChewbaccasRevenge,
I was going to stay at the Fig, but my brother-in-law found a cheaper place that's off of 7th St (so it's not too far away from the con).

Hi everyone I started a thread in the MS regional discussion about C4.

My husband and I will be there. I was hoping everyone from the region could get together while we are in LA happy

Still seems up in the air if I'm going, but was wondering if I could get some input. It seems that the Celebrations are nothing but lines, lines, and lines leading to lines. Has anyone been that can tell if this true or not? My understading is that if you want to purchase anything or see any of the celebs, you have to stand in line, which is understandable. But is there anything to do that doesnt involve standing in a hours long lines, such as table booths or displays? If I get to go, I dont want to spend my whole day waiting. Input? Please tell me I'm wrong!!!

This will be my 1st Celebration so I can't really say for sure if the "lines" are going to be the norm there or not. Apparently it was that way the last time and gencon is doing a few things different this time; like getting a scheduled time to go into the store (plus the store is open 24 hours this time around). I would think the exhibit halls would be pretty packed but I doubt there would be lines unless it's to buy something exclusive or get something signed.

There will be lines. And lines to get in to the lines. Expect that. It will be crowded as all git-out.

C3 was like that. If I had just gone for the show, I would have been unhappy with my experience. The best thing about a Celebration is the camaraderie. I mostly went to meet people that I've talked to online for years but never met in person, and I am glad I did. So, if you have any aquaintences in that "know 'em but never met 'em" category, line up some contact info and swap hotel room numbers and phone numbers so you can get in touch with each other... it's very easy to miss folks (especially those you may not know real well) in the throngs.

Something I did to help find people I wanted to say 'hi' to was let all my online buddies know that I dyed my hair bright blue so they'd know it was me... it worked very well, and I learned a lot about how the world treats guys with bright blue hair.

If you make meeting up with people and having good times with them your C4 focus, you will have a fantastic time.

I figured there would be lines, I am expecting that, but I'm sure the biggest lines will be for the signings and panels, etc.

I figure the lines will be about the same as the Fan Fest for the All-Star Game when it was here in Houston a few years ago.

I'm sure it will be crowded, but somehow I doubt it will be as crowded as the first three. There was a tons more hype with the new movies coming out.

I will be there and would like to know if others from Houston are going ... this way I might actually get to meet some of ya'll face to face (since I seem to never be able to make it to the meetings).
