	BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BlAH, BLAH .... Listen to you people going on and on... lol !!! You sound like a bunch of crazed Star Wars Fans. Well, first off... Sorry for the delay in making a post after C4. What a busy time it's been for me. WOW !! Right back to 10 day straight at work. I've had two 501st. events. The Bunkerhill Day Parade is coming up. Busy, busy, busy. SO I'm glad to see that most every one enjoy them self at C4. That's AWESOME!! I myself had a good time as well. All though it was not the best Celebration to date for me. It was in my TOP 4 ! lol Here are a few of my Pro's and Con's .... Hang on Boy's & Girl's PRO'S .... -MEETING EVERYONE!! It was so COOL to see everyone again! To see people I meet at the Rose Bowl Parade. To finally meet people I've been talking to on line for years. To see old friends I've seen at past Celebrations. And making a whole new set of friends. You guy's/girls ALL mean the WORLD to me. ALL of you are the main reason I do this stuff. I love meeting everyone. It is ALL WAYS the highlight of my trips. So THANK YOU !! to everyone I saw and meet at this Celebration. I hope to hear and see everyone again in the future and at the next Celebration. A special thanks goes out to John, Steve and James for making this a fun Celebration. -Volunteering for Official Pic's. It is still the best thing you can ever do at a show. I promise this right now "I WILL NEVER NOT BE VOLUNTEERING FOR OFFICIAL PIC'S" lol!! Anne is the BEST !! It is still one of the funniest things to do there. The people are awesome. All the stars are great!! Plus the pass alone is to die for. You have to wait in NO lines EVER!! You get back stage, the whole nine yards. So my hat's off to everyone at Official Pic's for a great show once again. -NO LINES Even with out the O.P. Pass the lines were great this time around. I think because the convention center was SOOOOoooooo.... large and they had it spread out over the whole thing. It made the lines every where look small. -GREAT SHOWS As all way!! Star Wars in 30 min. AWESOME !! Thing thing EVERY!! One man Star Wars Show. GREAT!! Clone Wars preview. I can't even think of the right words to say. All the panels, you name it. Nice work on all of it. -THE SET UP I think they did a great job on the set up of the show. I like how it was spread out over the whole building. I also like how you could stay in side and make your way around the whole place. They had just enough room for everything. -MRS. FISHER What more can I say.... I WORKED WITH CARRIE FISHER !!! That's right I was picked Saturday morning for a special job. That's what I was told at the time. Not knowing where I was going. Next thing I knew... I was standing next to Mrs. Fisher. Good Morning Mrs. Fisher this is Thomas Travis. ( Said call me TK ) lol He will be help us out this morning. I than began 4/5 hours of being Mrs. Fisher personal guard. lol. Well I actually keep people and reporters away. Blocked off the back and side walk ways. No know grunt work. But .... I did work with Mrs. Fisher and got the hand shake & the thank you from her for the great help I had been. right before they took her a way for a talk. It was very cool. -The HOTEL and BUSES Our hotel was very nice. We stay at the Wilshire Grand. I will say the $20 extra dollars a night was will worth the food alone. lol They had a very nice pool and hot tub. Which we did check out one night. (Needed the hot Tub) lol Even though we stayed only 2 1/2 blocks from the convention center. To walk it seemed like it took a week. So, thanks for the Buses. That was very cool of them to do. I really do not know about the free buses till we got there so that was very nice. It make it a lot easier to get around and get your stuff back to the hotels. I'm sure there is a lot more things I liked but .... now to the CON'S. CON'S..... -FIRST OFF Way to far away!! I do personally that the show attendants was down. I believe it was do to where it was. I was been to all 4 Celebration now and it just felt like they do not have a good turn out. Being in the 501st as well. I know we did not have a half maybe even a quarter of the amount of troopers at this one. I think I must have hear dozens on the dealer saying all week long things like they were losing their shirts on the show. Even with all the extra room it still felt empty sometimes. I still have not seem any numbers yet on how many people showed up. But I'd bet it was not that great. -L.A. DOWNTOWN What a crap place. Wait I should not say that. I'm sorry. First off the town it self was a lot nicer than I thought it to be. Fairly clean, nice people for the most part. Now saying that.... What the hell was with EVERYTHING closing at 5/6pm EVERYNIGHT!! That part SUCKED!! The whole town is geared for the business people working down town so after 6pm. the town shuts down. We found 2 places open after 7pm to eat. Cal. Pizza and the IHOP. WOW!! I think we had to get pizza sent in 2 maybe 3 times. What a joke. You'd think knowing they had over .... let's say, 100,000 people over the 4/5 day's they like to stay open? Guess not. You could not even go shopping in any stores, CLOSED!! -PRICES Ok, I know it LA and all but come on. $4.50 service charge for the ATM in the convention hall. You may as well but a gun to us. It was like robbery. $4.00 one night for a bottle of water. Kill me now!! The avg. price for a meal in one of the hotel 4 restaurants was $30 a plate. One place want $47 for a steak!! OJ in the morning was $5.75 a glass. I have NO idea how people live there. Come on tax's at 8.5 % WOW!! It was almost good that nothing was open late. LOL -LAST DAY DISCOUNT? What the hell was that about !! That almost cook my chicken!! The Star Wars Shop had everything at 50% off last day. I picked up the stuff I want from the shop first thing that week. You know, so I'd get it. Than the last day they drop 80% of the stock (everything) They were selling to 50% off. I had like 5/6 thing I paid full price for. That SUCKED! Plus they did not even offer to do anything about it to the couple of people I saw having a problem with it. Come on, if you'd been there the whole week give them back at leased the deferent's. Something! -DEALER This for me may have been the WORST part. I you all know... That's what I LIVE FOR !! What a disappointment it was. First off, Master Rep. pulling out last minute. Come on guy's GROW UP!!. You BIG BABY"S !! So what you lost the Lucas account WAAAAAHHHHHHH. You also lost me!! I did not even go to your party! " If " I buy your stuff again it will be though someone else. They let a lot of people down not showing up. Now for the other dealers ..... Oh ya that's right. WHAT OTHER DEALERS!! I know for a FACT they had less dealers at this show than any other shows I've been to. And I know why!! TO FAR AWAY!! In IN. you were able to get dealers from like 6 surrounding states. Everyone would come. They could drive a couple hours and be all set to go. You had the BIG dealers and all the Mom & Pop shops. They are the best. They have all the stuff you want and the DEALS look out last day. That's all I told people the whole week. Wait till the last day. Best deals ect, ect. Oh but wait. That's if you have any dealers to deal with. That was defiantly the worst part of the show for. So, I think that is enough for me .lol I know some of this you guy's are reading this and saying ...Wow TK tell us how you really feel. (Wish I could) lol But all and all it the a great week once again. I had fun and you'll see me at the next one. Nothing will keep me from it. So till next time.... to everyone .... MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL !! SeeYa, TK PS> Please check out the web site later to day/night. I will have a few new pictures up from the show and a link to find the rest. banthapoodoo.org -----signature----- New Hampshire Mandalorians Do, or Do Not.... There is NO try.

	Hey, I mentioned I was looking ofr some numbers on C4. Well I found this story posted at SW.com I think it may have been a little add to it. If you know what I mean. But hey, if it means another Celebration they can spin it anyways they wish. lol SeeYa, TK It's a Hit: A Record-Breaking Celebration IV June 14, 2007 Star Wars Celebration IV drew Star Wars fans from all over the world to celebrate 30 years of the saga over the Memorial Day Weekend in Los Angeles. In the midst of all the fun, the event broke attendance records from the past Celebrations, even the vastly-popular Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis in 2005. More than 35,000 individuals attended the Celebration between May 23 and 28 in the Los Angeles Convention Center, enjoying days and nights of fun with events and shows as diverse as a 6-movie marathon Saga screening, Carrie Fisher's one-woman "conversation" with fans, Seth Green's "Star Wars: Robot Chicken" panels, and the mad dash of the Kessel Run trivia puzzle competition. Celebration IV was a vast experience for fans, spreading out over the entire Convention Center, and occupying six live stages, expansive exhibit halls, two archived exhibits, three laser tag arenas, a 24-hour store, and more. Fans were a huge part of the success of Celebration IV, contributing to programming and events especially in the Fan Fair Hall and on the Star Wars Fan Stage. Star Wars collectors raised nearly $170,000 in four silent auctions and one live auction of vintage toy merchandise from the Lucas Licensing archives. The profits from the auction will be donated to the Make-A-Wish foundation. "The success of Celebration IV is testament not only to the enthusiasm and creativity of fans and the hard work by folks at Lucasfilm and Gen Con, but also proof of the strength of Star Wars," says Steve Sansweet, head of fan relations at Lucasfilm, and co-producer of Celebration IV. "The reaction to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars panel and trailer, the popularity of the LucasArts booth and The Force Unleashed panels, and the obvious increase in attendance among young fans and families, speaks to the rock-solid future of Star Wars." The rock-solid future, and the exciting present -- the worldwide community of fans is set for another great festival in London, when Celebration Europe opens its doors on July 13 for three days of Star Wars entertainment, exhibits, and events at the ExCeL Center. -----signature----- New Hampshire Mandalorians Do, or Do Not....

	I gotta say, one other complaint I had about C4 was the lack of quality stuff in the store. I have to admit most of it seemed like cheap junk I would find in an overpriced gift shop (oh, wait...:p) I would think for the 30th Anniversary of SW they would have had a better selection of shirts, not to mention the stuff that was cool WAS OUT OF STOCK THE FIRST DAY! grrrrrr! Oh well... had a good time anyway inspite of that... -----signature----- ARCHIVIST - NEW HAMPSHIRE MANDALORIANS "Just because you have the ability to speak does not make you intelligent"

	You are so right ! Cheap was not the word for some of that stuff. It was like going to a gift shop out at Hampton Beach. Come on people, you know we are there to spend money. Let put out some nice high end items. Anything... At C2 and 3 they had nicer things. Like the bobble heads and mini bust. The topper sets. Way nicer bags and backpack. They only had one nice back pack this time and it was like $60 or something. Just sad. SeeYa, TK Oh ya, what was with that phannie pack thing? It had to be the worst item at the show. lol My Gosh was it ugly! lol -----signature----- New Hampshire Mandalorians Do, or Do Not.... There is NO try.

	No, hands-down the WORST item in the C4 Store was the Chewie Jacket with Fake Fur Hood. Who the heck thought selling something like this in May...in L.A. was a good idea? -----signature----- "What's so wrong about wanting power converters?"
