Celebration V in 2009 (Discussion and Updates)
|
Well I am happy to hear that this was discussed at Jedi Con in Germany last weekend.
The reports are that Celebration V will be planned for 2009 and will probably be planned in a Midwest location.
Chicago was a mentioned possibility and I am sur Indianapolis is on peoples' minds also.
Very glad to hear a return trip to L.A. is not going to happen.
So what do you think?
Planning to go?
Ever been to a Celebration?
What questions do you have if you have never been?
I myself have gone to Celebration II, III, and IV.
I know a besides myself that Roseanna,Mike, and Jorge have gone to Celebrations.
When news and updates become available we can post links,etc. here and discuss.
Hope we can get a solid date and location on this soon.

Interesting to hear that a possible C5 would be moved back to a central location. From what I understood, LFL had a 3-show deal in place with the LACC.
I wonder what company will be in charge of it now that GenCon is no longer involved.

If it is true that it will be in a Midwest location I will be there for sure especially in Chi-town (my favorite city). I can convince the wife that it would be affordable to do it. Plus we could go visit family and friends before or afterwards.
I was also wondering who would take over for Gencon. Maybe LFL decided to do it themselves. It will be interesting to see what happens with the LACC as well. Maybe that deal was broken after the breakup with Gencon. Who knows.

Celebration V Rumors posted at RebelScum
Celebration 5 Rumors
Posted by Dustin on March 26, 2008 at 09:43 AM CST:
Star Wars Action News reported in a recent podcast that Steve Sansweet made several comments at Jedi-Con this past weekend in regards to future Star Wars Celebrations. To further clarify the rumors I went right to the source, Steve Sansweet.
SWAN rumor report: Celebrations will continue after Celebration Japan.
Sansweet: I said we would very much like to continue Celebrations every year somewhere in the world, but we won’t be making any decisions until sometime after Celebration Japan.
SWAN rumor report: Rick McCallum is pushing hard for a Celebration Australia.
Sansweet: I said Rick would love to see a Celebration happen in Australia so we’ll look to see if that is possible.
SWAN rumor report: Celebration Europe II might be in Berlin.
Sansweet: I said we certainly hope to do another Celebration in Europe, and maybe someday we could do Germany. I personally would love to see a Celebration in Berlin.
SWAN rumor report: Celebration 5 is very, very, very likely in 2009, with Chicago the frontrunner as the venue.
Sansweet: We are hoping to do a Celebration in the U.S. next year, and we’ll be looking at Midwest locations like Chicago as well as some further east.

When I worked for LFL they really wanted to do a Celebration every other year. I know the GenCon had a lot of probelms with the last 2. Cel 3 being the worst because of the staff and the organization(wait times). They tried to get Las Vegas as the venue for Cel4 but they are booked for 10 years out or something crazy.
I would be sooo happy to go back to a convention not as a volunteer or a staff member. Just to enjoy the show.
If anyone was at Cel3 I was the girl holding the mic for questions during the Lucas pannel.

I was thiking about volunteering maybe for the next one.
Mike did for CIV and it worked out pretty good.
I didn't get to go to the Lucas panel at CIII. 
I would of really enjoyed seeing him though. I just wasn't going to wait in line all night before the con.
Plus my girlfriend at the time wasn't a SW fan anyway and would not stand in that line with me considering we stood in line all day for the CIII store our first day of the con.

I never saw the store. I was in that panel room most of the time. Consider me lucky I guess.
Being a girl at conventions is awesome. There aren't lines for the bathroom!! Is your girlfriend a fan now?
If anyone is interested I make custom Vans shoes. I hand paint them with cool stuff. My Darth Maul ones were featured on StarWars.com a few weeks ago. I am sort of busy until the wedding but I have also done Ghost Hunters/TAPS, and will be working on Harry Potter ones too.

I was what they considered a 'senior volunteer' meaning I wasn't paid for working the show, but I did receive free airfare, hotel, pass and a per diem out in LA. A friend of my family was in a management position with GenCon and she got me the gig. With GenCon getting fired (and sued) by LFL and then filing chapter 11, she left the company. So unfortunately I won't be getting a free ride for CV.

Thanks. I love the Vans. They are fun to do and I make them personal for each person.
Just the thought of another Celebration gives me goosebumps.

Well I have made my first step towards a larger world.
I plan on having by late this year a Imperial Officer and possibly an Imperial Navy uniform and to join the 501st New England Garrison.
I wanted to join awhile back but I am done puttimg it off.
I am hoping to have Stormtrooper armor sometime by early 2009 in time for Celebration V.
