    You're asking Lit. You need to go to the JCC forum for that one.

    If I go there, I'll get banned. This might be considered a provocative question. But I can imagine that the drunkest person there was Carrie.

    Honestly, all the talk of people getting totally drunk is one of the things that tends to scare me off conventions as I don't drink. :p

    I can't afford the overseas ones- I'm gonna need two years to recover my funds from this one ;). Anaheim is expensive!

    Eh, I don't either but people getting drunk at things they enjoy is sort of a thing humans do. It makes me glad I'm a Wookiee.

    Too soon to tell if I can pull it off, but I'd like to go next year to atone for missing Anaheim. The offerings should be more substantial--TFA and it's currently-mysterious tie-ins will be covered, and Rogue One will be under much less secrecy. Not to mention visiting London itself, which appeals to me a lot more than Cali.

    I'm right with you VK. It'd be a trip, but I'm sure it'd be fun.

    Don't think I can do two in a row, especially as I'll have to be in Europe the month before for a wedding. And when I go to Europe I like to actually... see Europe, it's too costly to just go there for a con.

    Slander!
    Unlikely. Mocked, on the other hand...

    Big brother is everywhere. Doesn't mocking in ill manner qualify as violation of rules? Besides, someone's got a file on me. I will not risk it.

    Has there ever been one outside an English speaking country? Afghanistan? Ghana?

    1) Those are two random countries to pick.
    2) English is the official language of Ghana.

    In addition to Japan, they also had one in Germany.

    Not like anyone cares about Latin America, but... there are a TON of fans in Central/South America. And not just movie fans -- the books and games are just as prevalent in the stores as they are in say, the US (never been to Europe but I assume it's similar). I don't think they'd be able to swing a Celebration event the size of the one in Anaheim in any of those countries due to the difficulty of getting enough venues/actors/producers/writers/etc to go, but it wouldn't be for lack of fans. Every other kid in the street has a TCW backpack.

    I'm rooting for Toronto one day--it has the international aspect while being more realistic for us East-Coasters than CA.

    Despite appearances, I assure you that California is quite real.

    Still love Jack Slater's "No, this is California." response to Danny calling out something he thinks is improbable "because this is a movie", in Last Action Hero.
