    I had a great time, but I'm definately glad to be home. It was awesome seeing old friends, making new ones, and meeting folks that had only been a screen name before.

    Highlights:

  2. Friends, friends, friends

  3. The Ram (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday)

  4. SpatCon 2

  5. The 501st/Rebel Legion/Fan Force Party

  6. Busting on Herb all week for going to the movies after driving 12 hours to the largest Star Wars convention in history


  7. Low points:

  8. Stupid people

  9. GenCon

  10. The C3 Store line

  11. Celebration @ Celebration (scalped my ticket and went to the Ram)

  12. Herb going to the movies after driving 12 hours to the largest Star Wars convention in history instead of hanging with us


  13. In keeping with the spirit of C3, I stood in line at my bathroom for 15 minutes, went downstairs to my kitchen and charged myself 4 bucks for a hotdog, and told myself that the line to my living room has been capped.

    [face_laugh]
    What did everyone else think of the con?

    My two cents, CII had better organization, and better content. But, I had more fun at CIII because we had 20 or so people from our FF, and knew people from other regions.

    Philly FF, had a blast partying with you guys at Ram and 501st/RL party. Sorry I missed the secret journey Saturday night....

    Lines were killer.... the store basically ruined one full day for most people I knew. Also, the celeb. presence on autographs were mainly the B players. (without major speaking roles) CII had more talent.

    Was nice to be back home, agreed.

    Now, where are you guys all so sad?
    You must be Happy, Rated Number One??

    Singed,

    I'm never gonna live down getting busted on about the movies. Sorry, I was hanging out with people I've been talking with on these boards for close to 3 years, I didn't wanna be left out. :p


    The FF/501st party and hanging out with LA, New York and Jersey was awesome on Friday night. Ram will never want my business again after I walked (literally) all over their tables.


    The lines did suck, as well as me getting sick on Saturday.


    The best high points of the Con was the cute Slave Leia and the pic of Orli and I that I'll upload later on. ;)


    One last thing...The Exclusive Footage ruled everything ever made!

    I had alot of fun except when I had to think about the half-ass table I was running there. If I ever start talking about running a fan table again, can someone hit me upside the head a few times!?! lol


    The 501st party & Spat Con rocked!!

    The 501st group photo was fun as always.

    Hanging at the Ram was always a good photo op for Joe it seemed!! lol

    the good:

    Phat received a lot of toys for Riley Children's Hospital

    I got to hang out with and met some really great people

    I drank and did not get sick from it. yay me!

    I got to hang with the Philly crowd!

    I got kissed by Jerome Blake, he aimed for the lips but I turned a little so he got my cheek instead [face_laugh]

    I was in the Marriott and saw/met quite a few celebs


    the bad:

    lines, lines, and more lines

    too many ceremonial Leias on Saturday night

    Celebration at Celebration sucked lemons. I should have gone elsewhere but went to my room instead. :p

    I couldn't deal with some of the guys groping me.

    not enough sleep

    I did not meet Prince Charming which leads me to believe he doesn't exist. :p

    I missed SW30 & 1 man. I also missed I did catch the Heart of an Empire panel, which was very cool. The SW in pop culture was pretty neat. I walked in when they were showing the screen tests (in their entirety) for the principals. I also got to see "Return of Pink Five" at the R2 builders room.

    Was there anything you wanted to see or do and missed it?

    Did anyone vomit? HERB? :p

    Liz,

    Well, never say never about DragonCon, but we're always doing something in NYC so maybe you can have Joe drag you down one day. ;)

    Party on.

    Mike:
    am I Joe's pet or something? :p drag me down...hmm sounds like I'm on a leash or a harness. :p

    I had a great time, highlights included: Seeing my friends, all the awesome costumes, the FF/RL/501st party, hanging out in line @ 3:00 am on sunday to get into the store in the snowy weather and wrapped in a blanket, Sw in 30 minutes, SW the Musical, and Episode III spectacular with Rick McCallum.

    Lowlights: Some douche in line behind me in line on thursday making fun of everyone's costumes, Driving home in the snow and arriving home and back to reality.

    Ok to answer the following questions:

    Did I meet anyone who made me weak in the knees?

    Well yes I did, he came up to me on Thursday but I think he still has a girlfriend. :(

    Did anyone vomit?

    Well yes I did after SpatCon, some dude bought me a shot right before I left and I think that did me in. lol


    Is anyone else sick?

    Yup and it sux.


    Did I miss any panels?

    Of course I did, way too many to list, but I got to see the panels I really wanted to see so I'm happy anyway.




    BTW, Herb which movie are you planning on seeing at Wizard World East? :p
