One right before the other...yikes, an attendee's dream. A reason to be glad I live in SoCal, too .

 

what the heck is GoH?

On the next meeting, we will speak extensively about Comic-Con and Grand Slam. (planning, hotels, rates...etc) Grand Slam should not be overlooked, it is a great opportunity to meet the SW actors. I had an incredible time last year. (ok, on Saturday, not Friday)

 

Sheesh, ain't you never been to a convention?

GoH is meeting shorthand for Guest of Honor.

I'm already planning to attend at least two days of Grand Slam...This time I might even actually wear a costume(not just carry it).
I'm still undecided about Wizard World, but I might make an effort for one day.

 

This is great... I never knew of the existence of so many cons in the region. This is an excellent opportunity for me to "plug in" to the community and gather intelligence for my company. I appreciate the heads up and will make an effort to attend at least one day of both.

 

I have a big announcement regarding Grand Slam, but can't let the cat out of the bag just yet, due to a request. But, it is something we will all be happy about.

 

Please don't say that... since it's likely I'll miss it. Aww!!!

 

DB, don't tell me we will have a distinguished visitor/guest from europe...namely GERMANY who will be wearing a very pretty Padme after dinner, sitting in front of the fireplace, turning down Anikin costume??? .

Well, hope the cat gets let outta the bag so i know if it will be worth attending this year as stated, doesn't seem to be as many SW guests/people this year...

 

Must . . .get . . green . . clopnetooper bust . .
I wants it

 

Very cool bust, CBM!

 

It's poseable? Wow...

 

You guys haven't seen one of the bust before? It's the same as the white one, and the now infamous Blue clonetrooper bust that so many people complained to Gentle giant about last year at Comic-Con. Anyhow, they are really cool. They have interchangeble arms so you can . . interchange the arms.

 

I had the chance to pick one of the Blue Clonetroopers up at Comic-Con, but I passed it up saying to myself "I don't collect busts anyway"... then I saw them on eBay for over $200. D'oh!

What is Wizard World anyway? What kind of con is it? Sounds interesting though.. anyone going?

 

Wizard World is a comics/toys/"Kevin Smith loves Wizard World" show. The exhibitors and most of the special guests are from the comic book side of entertainment. However, Parks Sabers will have a booth.

Upon web review, I'll be attending at least one day of Wizard World, but probably skipping Grand Slam altogether... I'm only alotted so much time away from Tikei-Fore-Tu-Five, and I think ComicCon will be a better time, as well as a more important event to impose the company on the public at large.

 

Yea, Grand Slam! Yes, come, Marshall, Tonya, and all! Maybe I'll see my archaeology teacher again...

Marshall, (trying to remain calm...) if you're talking about what/WHO you mentioned at that meeting at your house...I'm positively dripping in excitement.

 

I am planning to go to WizardWorld for one reason and one reason only: Green Clonetrooper. After I get it, I will have a complete set. Yay for me!
