    I have also figured out this autograph thing is a must huh? So I guess I better put a few dollars aside for the kids for that. ;)

    is it really worth to get the 10 pack? (120.00)
    Do people really get that many? I would figure the lines would be so long you would be lucky to get half that. again...words from a newbie ;)

    MysterySith, I assume you'll be attending the FanForce party on Friday night, correct?

    That'll be a great opportunity to meet fellow TF.N/FanForce folks, and I think it may be one of the highlights of the Celebration.

    Another addition to the Do's & Dont's:

    DO: Show proper respect to Ian McDiarmid as a highly-successful Shakesperian-trained actor and theater director.

    DON'T: Call him "Uncle Palpy".

    :D

    Fan Force members aren't charging for autographs... right?

    I think the autographs depend on who you're really interested in meeting. My main priorities or David Prowse, Jeremy Bulloch and Billy Dee Williams. Depending on who's on the final guest list is going to determine if I buy a whole book of vouchers or not. A lot of the guests, I already have autographs from AlphaCon so they aren't that high on my priority list.

    Speaking of autographs- Does anyone know how to remove the range finder from the mini Fett helmet? That's what I want to have Jeremy Bullock sign but I don't want to risk breaking the range finder.

    And as far as what qualifies as a Geekus Maximus- the main trait would have to be the inability to carry on a conversation so called "normal" person (a non-SW fan) without referencing Star Wars.

    oh man! what a racket if fan force members charged for autographs! :)
    I actually didnt know about the fan force party on friday night.
    This is basically a mini family vaca for me so not sure how many "parties" I may actually attend. :)

    I think I wont be able to move by dinner time friday after all the walking I will be doing.

    I am assuming an important DO would be COMFORTABLE SHOES?

    (Could a mod please be kind enough to delete the first of my duplicate posts? Sorry about that)

    I'll be trading figures for my autograph ;). Just kidding. I'll sign anything anyone wants signed.

    Of course I will be at the Fanforce party. It will be great to put some faces with names and meet people from all over.

    My Autograph should cost the most. I am FF admin ;)

    Regular members pay $15, CR/VIPs pay $12
    RSAs pay $10 ;)

    I charge an extra $5 for a photo with me :p

    No you should considered yourself lucky!
    I hardly know anyone who shares the same "enthusiasm" I do.

    I'm really looking forward to the Friday night party. It'll be cool to meet folks face to face. Wasn't there a thread with all the details such as when, where, etc? Could someone be kind enough to re-post it?

    If any Trekkies show up can I be the official a$$ kicker for Celebration 2. I'm training for football and should be able to gain another good 10lbs. before. How about it?

    Some Trekies are also Starwars fans you know. Some have both Starfleet and Jedi Costumes.

    Not sure...I think the powers that be are debating on whether they want Naboo Security Volunteers, Gammorean Guards, or clone troopers to take care of any possible trekkie problems....they're worried about costs and lawyers....I told them they could go the cheap way and just call Orkin, or maybe spend a little money to get a Trek celeb lookalike to sign autographs in the back of a Marion County Police Paddy wagon, and just haul them out to a deserted cornfield and let them loose. Farmers are worried about the effects on the soybean harvest as it is with the possible El Nino returning, so this might not be a feesable option either. I'll keep you updated as I am made aware of them. ;) [face_devil]

    Edit:
    That may be Doright, but I think for one weekend you guys can set your phasers to off and let go of your trekkie feelings...let the Star Wars flow thru you... :D ;)

    It's not that I have a problem with Trekkies but with the Trekkies that showup to Satr Wars events dressed up like friggin' Klingons. Lte me know Sebulba X, so I know if I need to make an official Trekkie A$$ Kicker shirt.
