Bing, NY Celebration IVa - In Binghamton, NY?

I'll be there!!! 7pm friday night! I pretty much had just this CIV planned..lol. Hope to have a few more events and things for us to discuss as well!

 

Okay folks, really starting to gear up for CIVa at my house. Here's how it will work. We'll start the night by watching CIV coverage on G4 T.V. and it's supposed to go from 7 - 9 p.m. and we'll hang out, watch T.V. and meet/talk. At that point we can handle things from there. We could start one or two movies, but Ian is obviously going to need some sleep since he's going to a wedding and graduation. EVERYONE is welcome to crash at my house for the night. On Saturday, we'll get up (if we didn't stay up all night) and watch a movie or two and while Ian's gone, we can do some gaming. After Ian gets back, I would like to take a photo with everyone there in costume in my back yard. So, EVERYONE BRING YOUR STAR WARS COSTUME!! WE'RE GOING TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS!! After that, we can watch more of the movies. I've heard that the E! channel is to cover the Slave Leia Photo event on Sunday sometime, when I know more, I'll let you all know. If you want to crash at my house Sunday, you're more than welcome to do so too. Depending on where we are with films and what not, we may be going all night at that point. On Monday, everyone is invited BACK to my house to watch "Star Wars Tech" and "Star Wars:The Legacy Revealed" on the History channel.
With all of this in mind, I have to ask some questions:

Anyone allergic to food?
Are there any vegetarians?
What food would you like while watching the movies (any specail requests)?
Requests for breakfast?

Don't forget, we'll provide the food, but it's bring your own drink/beer. I'm looking forward to the event!! I wasn't able to secure a night at the BMets game because it was just too late in the timing, but I've heard the BMets are excited about doing an event with us, so one may be coming up soon.

If you could answer those questions ASAP, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

 

No allergies to food.

I will eat just about anything.

 

1) Nope good here.. I like meat, anything is fine for Movie and breakfast.

 

Okay, I'll post what we're doing for food tonight. I think you guys are gonna like the ideas my wife has come up with. Awesome stuff!!! Another idea occurred to me. Anybody else here a collector? What if we took some time out of our weekend and headed out to the stores (Wal Mart, Target, and Toys R' Us) WITHOUT costumes, but to geek out finding Star Wars collectibles. Any ideas? If we do, then we should all bring some money along as well. What do you all think? Some of the Star Wars fans won't be out there as they will be at CIV. Just a thought.

 

sounds like alot of fun. take lots of pics

 

Does this mean we get to eat younglings or ewoks?

 

I am bringing my costume stuff to get some input
no food alergies

I would love to go to Toys R' Us
Lots of pics
(yoda's voice) MMMMM Fun we will have. Yes Fun!

 

Okay, here's a list of anticipated food:

For snacks: Popcorn, chips, dip, vegetables, sandwiches, movie style candy, girl scout cookies (wookie cookie look alikes?), and yes, cheese puffs, "muddy sneakers", the infamous Crissman "Oreo Bake"

For breakfast: Waffles, sausage, and other snacky breakfast items

For lunch: A meat tray, snacks, and a 30th Anniversary Star Wars cake (that can be eaten throughout the weekend)

For dinner: Spiedies chicken (cut up) along with salad, or if you would like, put the chicken in a salad!! Anyway, mac salad, and other sides.

What do you think, do I know how to feed all of you or what?!!!
(okay, so my wife is feeding all of us, I better give her credit )

 

Kewl. I'm in with that.

 

Bob,
What an awesome time!!
Thank you for hosting us and providing all the entertainment!!!
Thank your wife for working so diligently to make sure we wanted for nothing, she is truly great! Your kids were great and I can?t express how much I appreciate this inspiring weekend! We are going to get arrested at Dragon Con! (but I do have bail money)

 

I will second that Bob. Great time. If anyone has any other pictures I would like a copy please..

That was a blast

 

That's a motion. It was the best time. Your wife is a Saint for doing all the cooking and having people sleeping in their home for several days. Thanks Bob and to your Wife and children.

P.S. I also would like any pictures. Thanks

 

Hey folks, cheers!!! Thank you for making what could have been a depressing weekend where I sat around and wished I were in California and helped to turn it into a real party. Honestly, I think I had more fun at my house than I ever would have had at CIV. It was great fun and even Heather said she really enjoyed meeting and getting to know all of you. This group has only grown closer and stronger, so here's to the future of The CORE!! Cheers!

 

sounds like everyone had a great time! hope pics are posted soon!
