    I'm curious as to whether George Lucas will be in attendance? Obviously he's not big on convention appearances (with the exception of hip-hop related events), and the Comic-Con website does not say anything to this effect. However, an article on MSN states that George Lucas and Anthony Daniels will be promoting The Clone Wars at Comic-Con, which would presumably be on Friday.

    My understanding is that in the past, GL has made a congratulatory video or something, that is played at the awards? If he's going to be there Friday, I wonder if he would be there for the Thursday SW movie challenge awards...

    [face_monkey] As much as I would like it to be true, I dont really think G. Lucas himself will be at the Comic-con this year..... And (not sure about this) I think the "congratulatory video" thing has been done only once...
    Can you even imagine what would happen if Lucas showed up there??...Anarchy, I tell you...ANARCHY![face_skull]

    Well Geez , So nobody wants to get down and dress up? not even a storm trooper?
    I mean RVD could at least walk around in their film clothes!

    Anyways' I thought it might be a gas if we did something different than the years
    before us. So, just got my email today and I wont tell you what I'm going to wear . But lets see if you know its me. Plus if GL ~is~ going to be there than heck its way worth the effort. [face_alien_1]

    really?
    hmmm, also I just got the email saying it was on thursday and not on saturday.
    This relly puts a crimp in things. I thought it would be saturday or at least Friday when GL
    was there opening the show for the new series.

    Well, if anyone's car pooling.....:D

    I'll be there, LORDWROTH... (Are you gonna be in costume?) That would be awesome...!! (and show those lame cosplayers what is a real costume!(Dont take me wrong, I like cosplay..but they look "bad" most of the time, to say the least..))

    Either way, they sent the passes yesterday... And the Comic-Con line-up looks great this year..

    5 Days for the Preview Night=P~

    I wonder if the Ry-Mi Team will be at any conference as expositors...?[face_thinking]

    Still arranging the details, but it looks like I'll be at the Atomfilms booth for a while Thursday too, and at the FanFilm awards that night.

    Hey Guys!

    ....err... I feel kind of bad for this...but well, here it goes[face_whistling] :
    My companions already purchased their passes and the "Guest Pass" for the 4 days that I received is avaliable.

    I'll be reporting to you LORDWROTH on thursday at the booth... and the first round will be on me! (well, it depends on how many of us will be actually going out to celebrate that night..:p)

    Since I'm in New York, I can't get to SDCC on Thursday, so I need to find someone to act as a stringer for the Fan Cinema Today blog for the Awards. I'm looking for someone to email me the names of the winners and ideally a candid photo or two of the event (even a cell phone pic). I can't pay ya (there's no money in FCT--you may have noticed the blog is ad-free), but you'd get your name out in front of the fan film community and I'd happily link to your website, WIP, or whatever. Either PM me here or email me direct at fancinematoday
    AT
    aol.com

    Anyone? Beuhler?

    Actually, since there will be WI-FI avaliable for free at the Convention Center I was thinking on transmiting live (or almost live)...but..sigh..anyways.. I will send you the pics, names and some video (youtube) as soon as the event ends... unless of course I'm too busy looking at my trophy (hee..yeah right..[face_laugh] )

    well..crap... ummm I mean crud....
    My ride canceled, so it looks like its me and my motorcycle headin down to comic con,.
    normally not a problem but I wanted to wear a costume at the show and this puts a major dent in that idea. oh well. such is life. and for those of you who have seen the behind the scenes of COE please be advised, I do not look like that any more. I dont have blonde dreadlocks and that was only for wroth.
    SO! look for a guy with short black hair that resembles Robert Diniro and a but of Jay Leno and you have me! plus with my motorcycle jacket and helmet. maybe that will be my costume!! yes I can see it now! masters of the universe or or ! mad max!! hahaha!8-}

    Check your PM's Lordwroth.

    OK guys this is it..in a couple of hours the CC starts with the Preview Night and tomorrow the real show starts.
    I will be trying to do a live broadcast of the SW FF Awards... I think i will be using ustream or someting like that... Or the least option would be to do it trough MSN...heee... Either way I will be posting the updated link on this forum.

    For now, here is the email account I will be using if you want to join the chat while the broadcast is on!!:

    I'll be traveling down from LA Thursday morning, hope to be on-site around noon.

    Will be hanging out at the Atomfilms booth from 4-7, and putting in an appearance at the FF awards Thursday evening.

    In both cases, I should have a special guest with me. No, not Amy - she can't be there tomorrow, tho she may be there Friday.

    Can't say who I'm bringing or why - it's already being promoted and advertised a bit, but I dunno where or how much just yet. But the sort of person who goes to Comic-Con might know who she is. Especially the women who'll be at CC dressed AS her, and I'm sure there'll be more than one of those. :)

    That's all I got for now, but if you come to the Atomfilms booth after 4 or come to the FF show, you can hear all about it then.

    *jumps in to nag and wish I were at SDCC this weekend instead of studying.*

    Ahem. Hi. After Comic-Con, will you be updating your blog? 95 days and counting...

    Good luck to all the entrants. I won't say which one I voted for, but really, there was something awesome about each one.

    Oooh, I'm so suspense-ridden. I thought you were trying to hit 100 days without posting, just for the novelty of it.

    I'm guessing.....Jewel Staite.[face_thinking]

    Well, since i live nowhere near San Diego and will not be going to CC i guess i'll never know.:(

    I definitely vote in favor of them holding next year's Comic-Con on Guam.[face_praying]

    Hey Guys!!
    Woooohaaa!! The Award Ceremony just ended minutes ago, and it was a great event!.... First of all the Lucas Choice Award went to "Padme".
    I must say that the best part of this whole experience was to meet other fellow participants personally, like Lordwroth, Ryan, Michael, Newmaska..among others, who went from a simple "screen names" to really nice and friendly people... It was a real honor.

    Now, for some unexpected problems with the camera, I could not transmit the event... BUT..I have a complete videos of every single winner....

    I will be posting them as soon ss possible (as long as nobody complains)... Probably in a couple of hours...

    Guys...I dont know where you are right now, but you should be here...
