The news of an official SW Celebration convention in England in July of 2007 is seriously going to affect attendance at CIV.

I wonder if it's cheaper to "cross the pond" and go to that Celebration rather than the one in L.A....

Who is making the trip from Rochester? Warren and I are flying in from Texas. Emily can't make the trip, this weekend she moved from NY to Kansas with her boyfriend.

I packed my Padme costume but I don't know what day I'll wear it.

Talk to you guys and gals later!!

Having TOO MUCH fun already!! I had the Best day... met a lot of Rebel and 501st Legionaires, got signed up for my volunteering shifts, got my crew badge and t-shirt, bought my program, and spent nearly the entire Movie Marathon next to a cute blonde named Kelsey... just an awesome day. Made it through Eps. 1-5, but needed to get back to Chris's place by train before I turned into a pumpkin.

The marathon itself was great. Nothing like being in a room with hundreds (if not over a thousand) fans, cheering every classic line and applauding the entrance of every major character when they appear for the first time in each Episode. One of the best: the incestuous kiss in the medical bay after Luke recovers from the Wampa attack in Empire... everybody just hollering "Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!" Hillarious! Applause throughout the crowd at Yoda's classic line ".... Do... or do not... there is no try..." ...simply resonates through your soul, y'know?

And they intro-ed each Episode with snippets from the History Channel special next Monday, which looks to be awesome... a must-Tivo program to be sure. Also showed snippets from the new LucasArts next-gen game "Force Unleashed" which should be KILLER.

Not a lot of costumers, but that'll change in the next day or so.

Also, I got through the entire day on less than 20 bucks, including the $1.25 bus ride there, and $1.25 subway train back to Chris's neighborhood. Don't expect that to be the norm for the rest of the con.

UPDATE! Just made a new album with (a few) pix from today!!!

Mind you, they're in reverse-chronological order... darn Photobucket...

EDIT: Photobucket reverse chronology fixed. They're in order now!
