Actually, I'm not sure if I'm down with going any more. I'm getting an itch to leave the states and tear it up in some other country or maybe somewhere in the US but away from the west coast. All this stress over a convention with hiked up prices and people scrambling for resources and such isn't really worth it. Hmm... Now where too...

It's nice to meet stars and all but whoopty do if you see them at a convention or something. It's not like he would give me the People's Elbow or something cool like that to talk about. Although if he gave me the Rock Bottom or the Brahma Buster, that would hurt considerably more... Anyway, I'm still debating it. I just haven't taken a trip AWAY in a while so I'm getting that itch to do that.

Oh Come on Ming! We missed you last year at Comic-Con. The Fan Force isn't complete without your attendance happy

On the other hand, I do understand wanting to do something different with vacation time and money. I'm not thrilled with how expensive the rooms are and there is a slight chance I could give up my current reservation like I did last year and stay with you guys to save money.

Ireland is NICEST in June and July, very little rain and the countryside is just SO beautiful. I miss my Irish friends too, I think I knew someone in every county. Well except for Ulster... I should e-mail those lassies.

I am going to try and go this year since I have never been. I figure even if there are no real SW events going on, it sounds like something that should be experienced at least once. Especially since right now I can't afford to go anywere more exotic. lol

/\ it is DEFINITELY something to experience. Even if there is no SW going on. You have to see it to really believe it. Actually, after going to WorldCons for years, I think that ComicCon has them beat hands down... So go and enjoy! dancing

I agree, last year was my first year and even though I had been to WonderCon and DragonCon once they didn't begin to prepare me for how massive Comic-Con was! There is an overwhelming number of vendors. Plus, there are so many great panels about upcoming movies and hit Sci-Fi TV shows with actors and directors included in the presentations. I'm still kind of bummed I missed out on the big Star Wars year with Hayden being there.

There are a few more people in costume compared to Wondercon too if you are into that sort of thing. However, I still say Dragon*Con is the best fantasy/sci-fi convention for people into costuming. Every night at the hotels the lobbies are like a big massive costume party!

Ming and Robert......you are going....that is that.....We are going to have the raddest time. All of us, away from our homes, it will be a never ending slumber party(that is an inside joke that only I get). Seriously, by the end of the five days we'll all need a break from each other. I'll probably be glad that I am the only one that lives here in LA, I kid...nothing but love for you guys and gals!!!!!!!!!

PS. I want to see Dale in the ski pants!!!!!!!!!!
