    Yeah, that's cool. I'll book it if Tim or Rhonda doesn't first.

    I'm looking forward to this, too. I'm hoping my buddy Mike at DH can get us the hook-up on some cool stuff. They've got a lot of hot titles right now, and a few movie projects in the works or coming out soon.

    Good to hear about the other SW fan you met. Found out at ShadowCon there's a 501st member out in the Bartlett/Cordova area. Maybe we'll have some good turnouts for this year's Drive-In Movie Nights!

    Seeing as how Joy, Jay, and I are perhaps 15-20 minutes away from the hotel, we probably won't be booking a room. Or I won't be, at least. *L* Let's just hope I don't end up showing up to con with my backpack full of homework! That would majorly suck!

    Curse you, college!!

    I just live about 10-15 minutes from the hotel, but since the only time I really ever drink is at cons...

    You'd probably have to put some REALLY big eyes on your Vader costume!

    heehee, vader with big ole anime eyes...

    yep, I've been going the past two times and wouldn't miss it for the world! And seems like every anime con I've ever been too always has a few troopers and jedi hanging around, and most people are happy to see them. If anybody give you any trouble just tell them "there was a star wars manga, duh." That's what I did in Amidala at one, hee.

    How's the costume contest there? I'll pass on setting up at ShadowCon next year and probably head up there. I've got a few friends up in Nashville I can stay with, so I wouldn't need a hotel room.

    Do they have a model kit contest? I've got a few manga kits I'd like to finish and enter if they do.

    Their costume contest is fun, pretty laid back the past two years. The woman who runs it is really nice, and really knows her stuff.
    Last year they had around 5-6 models out in the art room - I'm not sure if it's a model contest or just a display, though!

    Cool, I'll check with them and keep my calendar open for it next year. It'll give me a chance to see some friends up there- and time to get a few kits done! I'm actually sculpting a kit now based on a friend's character (Jetta) which is a cross between American comics and anime. If it turns out well I may take it and see if he and his wife want to go. They love anime and will be at MSC. I should have the kit done for MSC and will put it in the art show. We'll see if I actually have kits made of it by then. (crossed fingers!)

    That's the con I'm heading to as well. ^^

    Jay was intending to go to the anime con as Batman, and I'm positive that Star Wars would be welcome, seeing as how Star Wars was made in to a manga. So there's your technicality. ^^

    Lin apparently only drinks at Cons. Wonder why that is? Hmmmm.....

    OK, so far, we have six people who are wanting to get rooms at MSC. Lin, Sal, Tim C, Rhonda, Traci, and myself.....

    Annyone else? I'll need to reserve these by no later than the end of next week. So far, we're at three rooms for Friday and Saturday night. Do we need to make it four?

    "Lin apparently only drinks at Cons. Wonder why that is? Hmmmm....."

    Mostly a combitnation of 400lbs+ women in fur and chain bikinis, quasi-Klingon/Vikings, vampires and a lack of anything non-beer to drink!

    And this has nothing to do with your once being grabbed by a 500 lb, fur-and-chain-mail-clad woman shouting, "Yer my little puppy now!"


    You can't see me!

    They were doing that on the Nicktoon "Angry Beavers"! Traci and I were rolling on the floor!

    Man, luckily I ahaven't had any of the women (or MEN!) at the cons try to make me theirs! I have been slightly afraid from time to time, not to mention felling a bit sick! Maybe I'm just saving myself for the RIGHT 400lbs+ woman in a fur or chain bikini..

    Compared to what she would have done to him in court, what Mace did to him would seem like a happy dream.

    We'll need a final list of those who are planning on rooming with us at MSC by 5:00 PM on Friday, January 30th. I'll be making our reservations after that.

    And Mace didn't ask for any alamony or half of his stuff, or pull a 'Bobbit' on him!

    Wonder how Anakin gets outta his marriage? Did Obi-Wan actually do all that damage to him, or did Padme' get tired of his all-nighters with the other jedi/ coming home drunk with Obi-Wan and just beat him senseless after he fell asleep? Was it spousal abuse? Did she take half of his stuff? Being a jedi, did he have any stuff to take half of? I guess we'll have to wait until the next episode of 'As the Death star Turns'!

    We'll need a final list of those who are planning on rooming with us at MSC by 5:00 PM on Friday, January 30th. I'll be making our reservations after that.


    Do you want to start a new thread or do a roll call here? If so, I'm in.
