I can't begin to imagine how long it will take to put down all of my CIV experiences.. but I guess I should just start from day one and go from there... not sure what all everyone wants to hear.. would sure be easier if someone would just ask or tell me what parts they want to hear about and then I would just tell those parts.. otherwise it will take forever... for the moment my computer is not freezing.. which is a good thing..
I think all of us had totally different CIV experiences for certain. I spent most all of my time in the main hall area. I did not ever see the Vader Helment exhibit, or the archive room or the R2 builders room... I wish that I had.. but lack of time.. I did in fact do what I wanted to do, I have zero regrets and I would go back tomorrow and spend my entire trip the same way again I went to opening ceremonies and saw Boba Fett fly and boy was it loud and awesome!!! I did not think the cake was that great!! I however simply LOVE my Luke Skywalker first day of issue stamp! Seeing the Troopers march with the flags was so great and put a lump in my throat. I just wish the band would have been LOUDER!! Steve Sansweet was simply great as an Ewok and solidifies my want to have an Ewok costume to wear for visiting kids! It was indeed hard to find and locate friends at any given time, even with your cell phone to find them.. just such a large venue, we all did our best to stay in touch though and connected and attend events together as a group and even managed to on a few occasions.
I spent a lot of my time volunteering for Official Pix as a Guest Escort. On my first day they assigned me to assist Nina Fallon, Nina played Stass Allie and more recently she was behind the camera as visual effects coordinator and producer for Mission Impossible III and 300. Right now she is working on a new movie but she isn't allowed to say which one it is, only that it is working for Bob Zemeckis, the director of Back to the Future. In any event I hung out with and assisted her for four hours on Thursday. She was really nice and a lot of fun. We had a pretty good time hanging out together. Pretty much felt like a pajama party to be honest. We laughed constantly. On Thursday afternoon and night I spent all of my time meeting up with many of my starwars.com friends, and my fan force friends from around the globe, hanging out looking at the fan fair hall, art hall, and the exhibit hall.
That is pretty much the way each day went, the only thing that changed is that each day I had a different guest to escort. On Friday I was with Howie Weed, who is a visual effects digital artist, model developer, and construction artist, he was a creature maker for The special editions of ESB and RotJ and after creating the Wampa costume he asked to be the one to wear it for the movie. I heard a number of unique stories about how the Wampa as we see it in the special edition came into being. Assiting Howie was absolutely awesome! He is no longer working at ILM as of a month ago. He has moved on to another company now but continues to work in the same field. Friday was when we went to Opening ceremonies and I got to see Steve Sansweet in an Ewok costume. I dearly loved that moment!! Classic in my opinion. Boba Fett flying across the auditorium was well worth seeing alone if nothing else had happened. After that some of us from starwars.com just went and hung out at the hotel talking about what we had seen so far and what was still to come.
For the moment I am skipping saturday.. it was a very special day and I will come back to it.. not that it will be that exciting to anyone else.. but just the same..I will move on to sunday. On Sunday I assisted Alan Ruscoe who played Plo Koon in ROTS and also Bib Fortuna in the ROTJ special edition and also Lott Dodd, and Daultay Dofine in TPM and AOTC. He is a British actor that has done extensive stage work, he also played Mangalore Kino in The Fifth Element, and appeared in a few of the current Dr Who episodes as well. He was great fun to hang with, actually he was a riot and amazingly funny. He spent part of the day attempting to teach me British Colloquisms which I did not do well at remembering to now repeat to you here.. but I did indeed have a blast and he made me laugh pretty much constantly the entire time I was with him. I so wish Braiden could have been there with me to have spent the day with us. On Sunday evening things were starting to wind down. We went back to the hotel early and I met a new friend for dinner and we talked CIV till around 11pm and then I went to bed early.
Monday I got up and got packed and called for baggage check, had to take a cab to the LACC because the shuttles were running WAY BEHIND.. got to the CC just in time and on Monday I sat with Michael Carter, and distinguished british gentlement that played Bib Fortuna originally in ROTJ. He also played Gerald Bringsley in An American Werewolf In London, which is one of my all time favorite horror movies ever made. He has actually done loads of other stuff, but all of it has pretty much been in England, so not likely we recognize most of it. He was a very nice man however, his wife works in a hospital and we talked a little bit about stuff like that more than anything about Star Wars. Monday I walked around took a few photographs for Braiden and Kirby. I got a few autographs for Braiden and Kirby as well. I talked to lots of people.. I can tell you that Bonnie Piesse is an extremely nice young woman and very talented, she was collecting emails for anyone interested in hearing her music, which is violin, guitar and singing, I signed up for that for Kirby, as Kirby loves Aunt Beru. Bonnie was also in on my embarrasment of the moment.. a young man walked up and wanted to give some photos to Bonnie and I told him I would tell her when she arrived and when she finally arrived and I told her that a young man had photos for her but he did not bother to tell me who he was and I did not have a clue who he was.. she was like.. oh well.. and then later she came and told me the amusing fact that it had been Daniel Logan that had the pictures.. and I did not even recognize him... well.. after all.. he isn't ten yrs old any more.. oops.. I was embarrassed..then of course I almost stepped on Jeremy Bullock several times in one morning, I attempted to step and he stepped, then I stepped, we were practically dancing on each others feet, I looked up and felt quite the fool... I insisted he should go first.. red faced as I was.. though the best of the Fett incidents has to be that Temuera Morrison was seated diagonally behind Nina Fallon and every so often he would enter his area from Nina's area and momentarily speak with me and pat me on the back and lay his hand on my shoulder for a moment. He was so kind and genuine.. and I admit I found it cleansing to speak with Jango Fett. I now will never feel the same way about Jango or Boba again.. and if you don't know what that means then don't worry about it.. and if you do know what that means then I am sure you are having a good giggle over it. I am a Jango/Boba Lover now  All because of how nice Temuera Morrison was to me.
Unfortunately I just had a houseguest arrive, my friend Iva from Reno just drove in for an over night stay, so I have to stop posting and sign off for the time being... It pretty much covers a lot of my CIV adventures though not all by any means.. I find I keep remembering more things.. and I still did not tell you about my saturday.. though as I said it probably meant more to me than it will to anyone else hearing it.

I got my pictures up. Most of mine are pictures of JCers. I meet Dingo from Australia and ObiAnne and her friends from Sweden.
I hardly ever saw any TFF members. I thought for sure they'd be at the Stormtrooper Olympics. I did take care of Wookiee Hydration one night. Poor Jack couldn't get free. He was a hit.Pictures

I didn't get a picture of any of us! Must remedy that for CV. I can't wait to see Jack's pictures. He took several rolls of mostly costumed people.

Yes, I said several time I wanted a picture of us that went (and a group photo of the whole TFF) and we still owe the C4 goers dinner.

And I never did get a chance to thank you for doing it. The water was very much appreciated.

You're welcome. If it weren't for going to Carrie Fisher I would have stayed longer.

Stupid this being a family-oriented thread, I am prohibitted from using vulgarity, therefore insert what you wish in this area camera and flash!
I've lost about half of the pictures I took because the shutter speed and flash didn't sync like they were supposed to. I will post whatever I can salvage.

The only way that would work is if they did a custom print job on each of the screwed-up pics. I don't have the financial resources for that. I need to get a new digital camera and dump the film camera.

I think I've made that mistake myself, forgetting the underscore after the name. If that is the case I publically appoligize to Mike for that.
