You guys think you might wanna hook up when we get there?

Ohhhh....costume party. I dunno about dressing up but the 28 is good for me.

 

I'm not sure how many of us are coming up on the 28th but I'm sure a handful of us will. It should be a blast. I know I'm really looking forward to it. If you don't hook up with us in Vienna beforehand...watch for the Moisture Farm Co-Op t-shirts! I'm pretty sure one of us (prolly me at least) will be wearing one.

 

Well it's this Saturday. Who's going?

 

*raises hand* I am! I am! Wanna drive down with me? You know how parking is down at the Smithsonian...

 

What time does it all start? Which Smithsonian is it at? The Star Wars website link doesnt work anymore.

I wanna get all my work done before I go so I can spend maximum time there. DD- Whats wrong with taking the Metro? It goes right there.

 

It's in the Arts and Industries Museum. I think festivities start on Saturday at 10 AM; however, we don't particularly have to be there right then...

Nothing's wrong with taking the Metro; that would be ideal. However, I don't really live near a Metro station, though I could use my monthly pass at the Circle Park at Tenleytown. If you wanna meet up, it'll have to be there. The one thing I don't care for is I'll be away from my car and there's not much good inexpensive food on the Mall.

Let me know what's up.

 

Its just not fair, nothing ever comes close enough to where I am.

Starfighter tour
Alpha Con
2002 Celebration
and more I am sure.

I wish I could go.

 

Mystery Sith- I feel your pain. I'm from NY but here at school in DC. Once I'm home, all I have to look forward to is when the Magic of Myth comes to Brooklyn in a few years.

DD- Let me figure out what I have to do here and I'll get back to you probably on Wednesday or Thursday. You gonna dress up?

 

Naah, man; just the regular jeans and a tee shirt for me...

 

Hey guys, we have revised our plans a little for the trip to DC from Richmond. We're gonna meet up in DC around 10am for the opening. Then we're having lunch at Planet Hollywood. For more details check out our site. http://www.moisturefarmcoop.com

We'd love to meet you guys up there.

Just found this on the official site...

cant wait to go see it first hand.

 

I took some pictures down at the exhibit of the starfighter and some of the costumes.

Okay, here are the first four. I'm gonna go back down maybe next week to shoot out my roll of film.

Hey FCS! It was nice meeting ya at the convention. Sorry I didn't get to talk longer. Maybe you guys can come down to one of our next events? And keep us informed of what's going on up there?

So I'm looking at the pictures on TF.N of the Starfighter and then suddenly....THERES ME! Look over R2. Im wearing the black shirt with the red logo (its a Red Hot CHili Peppers logo). I have my arms crossed and I'm reading the panel. This is hysterical. I'm in some random guys picture. LOL.

So, you guys were the stormies and the X-wing pilot, Keith?

 

Not me, I was just hanging with them while we made our way to and from Planet Hollywood. I knew one of the troopers from ImagineCon last May in Norfolk...but I do plan to be a trooper soon enough.

 

Anyone know when the exhibit's done?

 

I have no idea when the exibit ends. I would like to see it again before it goes.
